Honeywell / Ademco Vista security panels

Michel,

 

I too would be interested in any update on the Honeywell Vista Security control. If it looks like this is something that UD is not going to do, then I might be motivated to do something with the AD2USB and the Network Module. Not looking to invest that time if UD is going to integrate Honeywell Vista Security. (Mostly because I know you'll do a better job :) )

 

Thanks

Hello me23,

 

Yes, absolutely. Currently working on ELK and then DSC and Honeywell.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

 

I just saw this. Is HAI in there anywhere?

MICHEL, can you make any comments about how the Honeywell Vista will be implemented. I guess specifically I'm asking what hardware would you use to implement it

@jweek,

 

I am a alarm installer, and I just played with one of these today. It very well my provide a way to interface the ISY, as this keypad has a web server that allows control of the system. I will be experimenting with it some more over the next week.

I just ordered a 994i/IR and already have an ad2usb/serial adapter.

 

This device:

http://www.autelis.com/universal-rs232- ... e-isy.html

 

Looks like a self-contained trinket that will parse the serial data and update up to 50 ISY variables based on the ad2usb output. Not a perfect solution, but it looks to bridge the gap for my uses until something else comes along.

 

As others have mentioned it's possible to do the same job as this box with a little parsing and some REST commands, but I like the idea of this device since it doesn't require a PC and no one has yet supplied, that I know of, the code and instructions to do the same thing in Linux.

 

I may try to do just that once I get a raspberry pi, until then I just wanna play with my new toys when they arrive!

X10 Signals:

 

Device A1: Disarm = On, for 2 seconds

Device A2: Arming Away = On, Arming Stay = On, Disarm = Off

Device A3: Alarmed, Tripped = On, Disarmed = Off

Device A4: Start of entry grace period = On, Disarming = Off

Device A5: Fire alarm = On, Disarm = Off

Device A6: Silent Alarm "Under Duress" = On, Disarm = Off

Device A7: Audible Panic Alarm = On, Disarm = Off

 

This is with a 4300 Power supply on the same circuit as my ISY. Workin'

Just about to puchase my ISY994i and extremely excited to finally have a solid Insteon system. Support for my Honeywell system would GREATLY be appreciated. We have their newest system, the 21ip, with built in ICM. Any word as of late on integration with the ISY994i?

 

Thanks so much.

 

Tyler.

Hi,

 

I just bought a isy994i and i have a ademco vista 15p any developpement on the subject.

My goal is to simulate the panel (arm/disarm) and trigger event from door open...

 

Thanks for your help.

I have a vista 20p working with my isy994i. I use an IOLinc as a key switch to arm and and disarm. For status I use an X10 PSC05 to send x10 commands from the Ademco panel. I have the panel programmed to send different x10 commands for disarm, arm away, arm stay, alarm, and delayed entry. Then there is a series of programs in the isy that sets a state variable based on the x10 command received.

Just wanted to get notified about activity on this thread as I am really interested in controlling my Vista 15P with my Isy.

I looked at the Tuxedo touch but it is a bit pricey (400$+).

I also looked at the Envisalink EVL-3 which seems to be missing some polishing to make it a good product. I find the web interface a bit ugly and also, it seems complicated to control it locally without going through their servers. I also read threads about some troubles going off on the panel every time a firmware update is being pushed and I want to avoid getting annoyances like that.

 

As for X-10, it seems to be complicated finding those X10 transformers plus it would only get me status but no control.

 

Still waiting to find the perfect solution, so if anybody has new ideas, I'll be glad to hear them!

The EVL3 is a fantastic device.

They have now released their API to support Honeywell, previously only DSC. When i get a little time i will add support to DSCLink.

Targeting end of 2013.

 

Since I don't use Honeywell I'll need a beta tester or two if anyone is interested.

I'd be looking for them to test the program and be able to use something like putty to connect to the EVL3 and issue commands.

io_guy, which pieces are you looking for to do the beta? I have a Vista21IP, and the ISY 994. Are you referring to controlling the Vista via the ISY (through an intermediary I assume)?

 

if yes, i'd be happy to give it a whirl.

 

Thanks,

 

-Mike

io_guy, any updates on the Honeywell integration? I have a Honeywell Ademco Vista 20P, and I'd be glad to help.

mdonato, deza,

No update, I haven't started coding this since I got no responses for testing.

 

The program would work similar to DSCLink.

You would need a computer (most of us use Raspberry Pis or Windows) to talk between the 2 devices.

My program would require an EVL3, Honeywell's APIs are a complete mess so I'd stick with Eyez-On's. This means only systems supported by the EVL3 would be supported.

 

If you're interested, pick up an EVL and install. I would then grab a data dump of what the EVL sends out and we'd be off to the races.

To do this you'd connect to the EVL with something like putty.

Just ordered an EVL3. I'll let you know when it's installed and ready for testing.
