Is there any existing or planned integration between ISY and a GE Concord4 security panel?

 

I'm building a new home and the contractor provides the GE Concord 4 for "free" with a monitoring contract.

 

I would like to integrate my security system with the home automation system via the ISY to have security events trigger home automation events, and possibly the other way around (not sure about that one though).

There is currently no support for this system.

The ISY natively supports Elk and can support DSC panels through a a Windows program and some hardware.

 

The Concord is quite an old system. I would recommend setting yourself up with something else, pretty much all the alarm installers will give you a free system if you sign a contract.

Also, make sure you're setup for wired, not wireless.

Thx io_guy,

 

what's the thinking behind preferring a wired versus wireless?

Reliability, simplicity, no batteries.

 

Anytime you connect a wire (and that goes for any technology, not just alarms) your system is more stable and secure.

Don't forget that you can troubleshoot with a meter on a wired setup, too...
