 The `nx584` platform provides integration with GE, Caddx, Interlogix (and other brands) alarm panels that support the NX584 interface module (or have it built in). Supported panels include NX4/6/8/8E. Actual integration is done through [pynx584](http://github.com/kk7ds/pynx584) which is required for this to work.

 ```yaml
 # Example configuration.yaml entry
 alarm_control_panel:

+  host: IP_ADDRESS
+  port: 5007
 ```
 
 Configuration variables:
 
-- **host** (*Optional*): This is the host connection string (host:port) for the nx584 server process. If unset, it is assumed to be `localhost:5007`, which will work if the server process is running on the same system as home-assistant.
+- **host** (*Optional*): The host where the nx584 server process is running. Defaults to localhost.
+- **port** (*Optional*): The port where the Alarm panel ist listening. Defaults to 5007.
