Qolsys Controller

Build

A Python module that emulates a virtual IQ Remote device, enabling full local control of a Qolsys IQ Panel over MQTT.

QolsysController

  • ✅ Connects directly to the Qolsys IQ Panel's local MQTT interface as an IQ Remote
  • 🔐 Pairs by only using Installer Code (same procedure as standard IQ Remote pairing)
  • 🔢 Supports 4-digit user codes
  • ⚠️ Uses a custom local usercode database (panel internal validation is not yet supported)
  • 🌐 Now includes a built-in MQTT Bridge - MQTT Bridge, enabling seamless publishing of panel updates and handling of incoming commands

📦 Installation

Please check Advanced instructions

pip install qolsys-controller
qolsys-controller --verbose --config 'path_to_config_file'

⚠️ Certificate Warning

During pairing, the main panel issues only one signed client certificate per virtual IQ Remote. If any key files are lost or deleted, re-pairing may become impossible.

A new PKI, including a new private key, can be recreated under specific circumstances, though the precise conditions remain unknown at this time.

Important:
Immediately back up the following files from the pki/ directory after initial pairing:

  • .key (private key)
  • .cer (certificate)
  • .csr (certificate signing request)
  • .secure (signed client certificate)
  • .qolsys (Qolsys Panel public certificate)

Store these files securely.
