Status on Home Security integration beyond ELK

[Panda88]

Hi

Just wondering if there still is a plan to integrate other home security systems other then ELK . There were promises about DSC and Honywell in the past.

I am at the point of replacing my home security system and would really like to integrate directly into ISY (mostly react on security systems states - e.g. not turn AC on if window is open etc)

 

I would like a wireless system (for easy of deployment) so DSC and Honeywell are clear options - ELK less so.

The alternative is z-wave integration using 2GIG and Simon Xti, and then have ISY be a parallel Zwave controller - not sure how successful people have been with this sofar.

 

Any update/suggestion

IOguy has a section for a linking a honeywell system. I have checked to see if my system will take the adapter to complete the link.

I'm pretty sure that you need a system that will integrate with this.

Thanks

I am trying not to use secondary controller (raspberryPi) sitting between the ISY and the alarmsystem

I did try this and did not find raspberryPi to be stable enough for this

I also did some R&D on security system integration options. Elk seemed the only viable option to me.

 

Elk has a wireless expander for GE or Honeywell components if you don't want to use the Elk sensors. I'm using Honeywell wireless components with my Elk M1.

 

So far the integration with the Elk add-on module for the ISY is going well.

I can confirm that I have the GE wireless receiver on my ELK and it works flawlessly with GE sensors. Resolution Products also makes a translator to convert wireless DSC / Honeywell / GE sensors to communicate to ELK as well. Very awesome.
