I also tried changing cable to be sure after that but that doesn't help either.
It's connected like this now:
Is this the right way?
Thanks in advance for your time to answer me.
The USR-TCP232 also needs 5V and GND.
When i press Install Plink. and OK on PM+ is shows greyblock and C in putty (in above example i did it 3 times).
It seems i do get data from the PM+ but not the correct data?
Can anybody share what kind of data i'm supposed to see in putty when all is correct?
Thanks again in advance for your help.
Bij hole in the panel I mean the opening in the casing where the serial cable can com out.
What I can remember, the console does not really show readable text but hex codes. Maybe it has something to do with terminal emulation ?

I started testing with the original serial cable and the Windows software, from there I replaced the Windows software to a serial console and from there I changed the original serial cable by an USR-TCP232 module. I also had some hard time getting everything to work.
Just bought a Homey and try figure out what components are required to be able to connect my powarmax+ alarm system to Homey.
Can someone please specify what rs232 to ethernet components is required for powermax+
Thanks in advance,

Ik heb een losse 230v euro stekker (zo een dunne) met kabel. ( zit bij mij toch in de meterkast).
Met de 14 bytes bedoel ik als je inlogt op de webinterface van de USR.
En je powered de visonic, dan krijg je 14 TX bytes. (Dacht ik)
En als je met de app van Ramon start met het toevoegen van de unit aan je homey krijg je dus 56 RX bytes.
Hiermee zou ik proberen of het werkt.
Je bekabeling lijkt te kloppen, mijn schema is gemaakt nadat het bij mij werkte.
Wel had ik de USR opgeblazen 1x (aansluit fout), maar toen kwam ik ook niet meer op de webinterface. Dus jouw usr lijkt dan nog goed.
I have the same question. Can someone help. Anyone having powermax+ connected with homey.
see my responses in the thread above. I have it working for almost a year on a Powermax+ and a USR-TCP232-T. For the pin connection also see my response in this thread..
good luck
I am doing the best to figure out the best option for me to connect my powermax+ to homey. As far as I can understand I have two options.
Option 1.
RS-232 Module http://catalog.visonic.com/communication-solutions/communication-ip-solutions/92/ together with a RS232-> Ethernet adapter https://www.ebay.com/itm/USR-TCP232-302-RS232-to-TCPIP-RJ45-Converter-Serial-to-Ethernet-Server-Module/262461662852?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2648
Will the single RS-232 module (PowerMax+) work as good as the dual (PowerMaxPro) that are referred to in the Homey apps description?
Option 2.
Directly using the TTL signals of the Visonic PowerMax and interface via a TTL to Ethernet module (e.g. USR-TCP232-E). I guess an power supply is needed also.
Will both options give same functionality, stability etc? I want the simplest and most reliable solution. Cost does not matter.
Please advise and thanks in advance,

Then I would prefer option 1. Problem is that the single RS-232 module for PowerMax+ does not seam to be available anywhere.
Does anyone now where to place an order.
"We have stopped supplying the Powermax Plus model. This is mainly due to the Powermax Complete representing better value for money than the Plus model. Visonic have also made the GSM module and the RS232 module obsolete for the Powermax Plus. Our recommendation is to use the Powermax Complete unless you want to add X-10 devices which are only supported on the Powermax Pro model"
I have a RS232 module for the Powermax+ lying here. I use a TCP-USR232-T so I don't need it, maybe for future firmware updates, but for a good offer, you can have it.

That would be great. I'll send you a PM.
Just curious if there is a specific reason that you choose to use the TCP-USR232-T solution instead of the RS-232 module.

They are hard to get by in the past
Question:
I have a Powermax Pro and the dual rs232 connected with a powerlink. I understand if I want to use this app I need to disconnect the powerlink and connect my dual rs232 with the USR-TCP23-302 I have. Therefore I bought an RJ45 to RS232 connector to connect both. The connector I have bought has pins which need to manually be placed in the rs232 part. Here I get stuck. What order do I use? How did you guys do this?
BTW: this is the RJ45 pinout:
The connector is this one. It looks like this:
2 - black
3 - yellow
5 - green
You'll probably need to switch 3 & 5 around if you use a straight DB9 gender changer. Check the docs of the TCP232-302
Does the image you contain the pinout of the dual RS232 of the visonic?
I found this info online; lets see if I can figure how to do this tomorrow! Thanks for the help!
