linux command line / bash scripting - almman - 01-11-2026
Hello,
I currently use AD2USB to communicate with my Honeywell Vista alarm system. Together with ser2sock (serial to socket), in bash/Linux, I use:
if exec 3</dev/tcp/localhost/444555 ; then
cat <&3 | while read -t12 msg ; do
# Print last keypad/console message.
# Example: ****DISARMED**** Ready to Arm
echo "$msg"
sleep 1
done
fi
There are also functions to send commands to the alarm as if it were typed on the keypad.
How does one send/receive to/from the TA ESP32-S3 via command line/bash scripts?
Thanks
