Use your Texecom Premier Elite alarm from Home Assistant (and Apple Home), through the SmartCom you already have. Install it from HACS (or the Marketplace, from Home Assistant 2026.11), type your SmartCom's address, and Home Assistant reads your zones from the panel. No add-on, no MQTT, no files to edit. Take the quick tour →
Unofficial. Not made or supported by Texecom. Tested on Premier Elite 12, 24, 64 and 168 panels (which ones). Tried it on another panel? Tell us how it went, even if it all worked.

- 🛡️ An alarm you can set to Away, Night or Home, or turn off, and see when it's arming, waiting for you to come in, or going off, and whether it's ready to arm. Changes at the keypad show straight away.
- 🚪 A sensor for every zone, named as on your panel: doors, windows, motion, smoke and gas.
- 📋 A ready-made Alarm dashboard, built for you at the end of setup.
- 🔋 Panel health: connection, mains power, battery, tampers, and what the keypad says.
- 👤 Who did it: changed by Sam rather than User 3, with the names stored in the panel filled in for you (change them if you like), and an activity list in plain words: didn't arm: Kitchen was active, reported a tamper…
- 🔔 Notifications in Home Assistant when the alarm couldn't arm, the panel is on battery, or a tamper opens, saying what to check.
- ⚡ One-click automations: arm when everyone leaves (or ask you first), and tell your phone when the alarm goes off. Add them →
- 🍏 Apple Home too, through Home Assistant's built-in HomeKit Bridge.
- A Texecom Premier Elite panel with a SmartCom (the box the Texecom app uses) or a ComIP.
- The panel's UDL code (its remote-access code). Texecom's default is 1234, and most panels keep it.
- Home Assistant 2025.7 or newer, with HACS (from 2026.11 it's built in, as the Marketplace).
ℹ️ The SmartCom talks to one thing at a time: while Home Assistant is connected, the Texecom app can't. Your alarm (and the app's alarm notifications) carry on as normal. Turn off Homebridge or texecom2mqtt first if you use them.
-
Find your SmartCom's address in your router's list of devices (something like
192.168.1.50), and reserve it so it never changes. -
Install: click the button at the top of this page, then Download and restart Home Assistant (HACS), or Install (the Marketplace, Home Assistant 2026.11 and newer).
-
Add the integration: click below, choose Texecom Connect, and enter the address and UDL code (leave the port at 10001).
-
Choose your arm modes: which part arm Night and Home use (or Not used), keep Add an Alarm dashboard ticked, and click Submit, then Finish. Done 🎉

These panels have run it. Each row links to what was reported.
| Panel | Firmware | Connection | What was tried |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elite 12 | V6.03.02 | ComIP | Two areas: setup found the zones and both areas, zones show activity, one area armed on its own, each area shows its own Ready to arm, a smoke detector (#4) |
| Elite 24 | V5.02.01 | ComIP (Texecom Connect) | Two areas: setup found the zones and both areas, and arming Night and Away at the keypad showed in Home Assistant (discussion #38) |
| Elite 24 | V6.05.03 | SmartCom; Crestron through an ESP Easy serial server | The maintainer's own panel. Over the SmartCom, all of it: arming, part arms, alarms, tampers, mains failure, keypad changes. Over Crestron, zones, arming and disarming |
| Elite 24 | V6.06.03 | SmartCom (managed by Texecom Cloud) | Setup, zones, arming Away and the part arms from Home Assistant, the Alarm dashboard (#30) |
| Elite 24 | V6.06.03 | ComWiFi | Setup found the zones and the area, and the panel's power readings came through (discussion #1) |
| Elite 64 | V5.00.03 | Texecom Connect, through a home-made ESP32 serial bridge | Three areas: setup, zones, arming Away and a part arm, disarming, arms at the keypad, an alarm going off naming the zone, keypad user names (#36) |
| Elite 64 | not given | ComIP (Texecom Connect) | A part arm shown as Vacation, set from Home Assistant and at the keypad, with automations firing on it (#32) |
| Elite 168 | V6.06.03 | Crestron, through a USR-TCP232 adapter | Part arm and disarm (the panel refuses Crestron's own arm commands, so Texecom Connect's are used inside the session), power readings, the stored event log, a failed arm (PR #46) |
Testers wanted for the Elite 48, 88 and 640, for Texecom Connect on an Elite 168, for Crestron on any panel except the Elite 24 and 168, and for wireless (Ricochet) detectors, which the maintainer's panel doesn't have. More reports on the models above help too. Tell us how it went, even if you only got as far as setup. Attach the Download diagnostics file from the panel's device page: codes and addresses are removed automatically.

The code is split into small compartments, each with one job and its own tests, so a fix or feature touches one place. Start with the developer guide; AI coding agents should read AGENTS.md first.
The Texecom Connect protocol support follows the publicly released texecom-connect by Joseph Heenan (Apache-2.0), and arming and the zone/area reads are adapted from texecom2mqtt by Daniel Chesterton (MIT). The Crestron support grew out of the Homebridge plugin by Kieran Jones, max-christian and Chris Posthumus (MIT); the protocol work is shared with the Homebridge plugin fork. Full details are in NOTICE.
