Honeywell sensors

[TexMike]

Recently purchased a home that had an ADT wireless security system with wireless sensors throughout the home. Honeywell TSSC wireless controller has the Z-wave symbol on it and I jumped the gun and wrongly assumed all the wireless sensors were Z-wave. Did my research and decided ISY was the controller for me and got an ISY994iZW and tried to pair some of the sensors with no luck. Digging deeper it seems the Honeywell 5800 series sensors are ADT proprietary. I guess it shouldn't have been a surprise. I'm still happy with the ISY as it has enabled me to dig out my box full of x-10 stuff and make good use of them again, but it pains me to have a home full of wireless sensors that I can't use. Any ideas of a way to integrate with the ISY?

 

Thanks and I have already made use of a lot of great information in the forums.

 

Background: Years ago, I had maybe 30 x-10 devices on a CM controller. Sold the home and thought I would be a nice guy and leave the controller since I was leaving all the x-10 switches and outlets. Little did I know how rare the CM controllers would become. Had a several year sabbatical from home automation and I think I lost a lot less hair during that time. Now I have the bug again, so far I have about a dozen x-10 devices, all on one side (phase) of the house since I also left my bridge. I'll probably leave it that way and expand slowly with Insteon and Z-wave. I did get a couple of Z-wave sensors for the front door and garage door. Finally got around to enabling remote access today and may upgrade to portal at some point. So I'm making progress, but it would be a big boost if I could somehow use the existing sensors.
