- Page 2 Introduction Galaxy Gateway produces an interface between Honeywell Galaxy line of intruder alarm panels. Since the panels do not expose all data over SIA4 control or RS485, a combination is needed to get all functionality. A list of capabilities: RS485...

12V supply next to the AB or AUX3 when available. In order to use the onboard PSU to power the module set DIP2 to RS485 -> connect A on the module to A on the Galaxy connect B on the module to B on the Galaxy RS232 ->... - Page 5 Configuration On first bootup, the module opens up an access point ( AP ) to connect to for the initial configuration. This is a so-called Captive Portal. As soon as the wifi connection is established, the AP will close. To bring up the AP again, press the AP button on the module or connect to the telnet server and command the AP to be started from there.
- Page 6 The Captive Portal allows for primary setup of either Wifi or Lan connection. Upon selection of the interface, a choice for DHCP or Static IP assignment is presented. After saving the settings, the portal will close. Manually restart the module to start the actual configuration.
- Page 7 ▪ When using SIA4 control with the panel, the option for NTP time synchronisation becomes available. In order for the NTP server from the internet to work, a DNS IP address has to be configured. When using a local NTP server, the IP address for that can also be directly entered.
- Page 8 The method allows you to switch between RS232 and IP. The SIA4 pincode is the “remote pin” setting for the galaxy panels. By default this is 543210 and can only be changed by using Remote Servicing Suite.
- Page 9 Below that, you can control the amount of data that will be retrieved over SIA4. There is however a penalty to be paid, the more enabled, the slower the refreshes. Each tick box represents an additional query that needs to be sent. The default should be good enough, but enable more / less as desired.
- Page 10 RS485 enable When RS485 is enabled and connected, it allows for listening in events on the galaxy bus for increased speed of zone detection but also to emulate rio’s and a keypad. The DIP8 setting corresponds to the same DIP8 setting at SIA4 control.
- Page 11 ▪ RF Map When the module is connected to RS485, it also exposed RF devices. By default, the RF statuses only get shown in the debugger over telnet. Because there’s no relationship between a RF detector and a zone, we need to create one. The serial numbers can either be filled in from the panel together with the zone number, or activate the detector and watch the debug output.

- Page 15 MQTT When MQTT is enabled, all gathered information is sent to a series of MQTT topics. In order to allow for multiple modules, a unique id is used which is automatically generated and visible in the AP portal and through telnet. The client name is the name used to connect to a MQTT broker.

- Page 20 The module offers KNX status events to be sent via IP over UDP. The broadcast IP and port can be changed if needed. The PA and GA can be set in the web interface. Based on the GA selected, zone, output and group addresses are set automatically like this with a GA set to 1.2: The GA is used to construct the below table:...

- Page 23 HA comes online, the registers are flushed and new statuses will be pushed. RF buttons and detectors will be pushed as soon as they are seen based on their serial number. A card is available for both the virtual keypad and group management from https://seasoft.nl/downloads...
- Page 24 10. Updating To update the firmware of the module it is advisable to put the panel in engineer mode prior to doing so. The firmware consists of 2 parts, a bin file which is the actual firmware and a littlefs.bin file which contains the filesystem.
- Page 25 2. Pressing the reset switch while powering up the module will do a more critical erase of all settings and wipe the filesystem. To a factory default. This will do a reboot as well and bring up the Captive portal. However when done with the network configuration, because the filesystem is wiped, there is no web interface yet.
