Integrate a Bosch intrusion panel

On the Bosch intrusion panel, enable the automation user and set a password. For more information, see the Bosch Technical Support page at https://us.boschsecurity.com/en/04_customer_service_2/04_01_technical_support_2/technical_support.

(Note: The Date and Time MUST be set correctly on the BOSCH panel for the integration with Symphony to work).

In the Symphony client interface, add a setting for the Bosch intrusion panel.

  1. In the client interface, click Server Configuration > Manual Configuration Editor.
  2. Click Add a new setting.
  3. Add the following values:
    • Type: Global
    • Section: DeviceManager
    • Key: AllowBoschDevices
    • Value: True
  4. Click OK.

In the Symphony server configuration interface, add the Bosch intrusion panel as a I/O device. The Bosch intrusion panel does not use a username. It only uses the password. For more information, see the Device - I/O page in the Symphony webhelp.

In the Symphony server configuration interface, create an event and rule for the Bosch intrusion panel. For more information, see the Events page in the Symphony webhelp.

Bosch intrusion panels use a proprietary addressing scheme:

  • The module number in Symphony for a Bosch intrusion panel = ((Bosch Point or Output number - 1) / 10) + 1
  • The input/output number in Symphony for a Bosch intrusion panel = ((Bosch Point or Output number - 1) modulo 10) + 1
  • For example:
    Bosch number Address in Symphony
    1 1-1
    10 1-10
    11 2-1
    20 2-10
    241 25-1
    248 25-8

For points (inputs) on Bosch devices, the Normal and Bypassed states map to the Deactivated state in Symphony and the Faulted state maps to the Activated state in Symphony. For outputs on Bosch devices, the On state maps to the Activated state in Symphony and the Off state maps to Deactivated state in Symphony.
