tpolito Posted November 9, 2021 Posted November 9, 2021 I was recently told that DCS is discontinuing the Power Series and moving to the Neo. Does anyone have any experience with that system?

tpolito Posted November 9, 2021 Author Posted November 9, 2021 Specifically in terms of integrating into the ISY. I've used the Elk before, but don't think I need something as powerful or as expensive as that. I just want to be able to pull in the status of the alarm, individual zones, and arm the alarm from the ISY. I was considering a DSC Power Series with Envisalink, but was told by an alarm installer that they are discontinuing it at the end of this year. I couldn't find anything to say the Neo line was compatible with the Envisalink, and just wondering if anyone knew anything about it and if it could be integrated to the ISY for the above desired features.

Not true. I doubt they will ever discontinue it.

Back in the spring Tyco announced they would be discontinuing a number of dsc power series panels and keypads. All would continue to be sold as supplies allowed 1

The neo does not integrate with envisalink
tpolito Posted November 10, 2021 Author Posted November 10, 2021 Thanks! Maybe I should just stick with the Elk. I like my Omni IIe but unless something has changed, I never found great integration with the ISY for it.
