The standard firmware from Crow Runner 8/16 Ip Module will NOT work with this code in HA, NO support of such versions!!

In order to get that module running you must ensure that the deconditions are fulfilled:

That will be:

• Use Crow Runner 8/16 connected to an IP module from Crow for this alarm system.
• Using firmware Ver 2.10.3628 2017 Oct 20 09:48:43 on the IP module
• Not having ANY SSH connection active to that IP Module (Firmware support just a single connection ) to SSH port 5002.
• WebUi can be reached with IP adress that is given in the first Bootup via DHCP Server.
• Set the IP adress to static in order to keep a fixed IP adress at any time.
• Running Home Assistant higher then release 2024.01.0 (lower once mayowrk but are not support):

An setup example is given below: (config_flow setup is in progress)

Add customer repo to your HA HACS installation:
