Way to automate house mode using security system

Trying to find a way to automate house mode in ISY. Currently, I have an alarm system for the house. When the alarm system status changes (Armed Away, Armed Stay or Disarm), I have it send mail to a specific email address. I use MS Outlook to process these emails using VBS script, which then updates a text file with the current house state (house status variable).

Is there a way to get ISY to import or process this variable? The outlook VBS script can obviously be changed to do anything... what would be the best way to notify/update ISY of the house state?

 

I know I could use a KPL button, but prefer to automate.

Your VB script could call a /rest command to set a variable in the ISY. Something like:
