My local security company sells Honeywell systems. I would like to use them because I already have a relationship with them. However, I want the Honeywell system to connect to HomeSeer, so that HomeSeer can 1) Arm and Disarm, and 2) Monitor Input status.
I believe there are two approaches that may allow HomeSeer to communicate to a Honeywell system:
1. Use the FA168CPS controller with a Vista ICM - HomeSeer communicates to the Vista ICM via Ethernet.
2. Use the FA1700C with the 4100SM serial module - HomeSeer communicates serially.
Any advice on this? Will both/either approach do what I want? Which, if either, is recommended? Are there existing scripts/plug-ins available for either? Also, my understanding is that HomeSeer can't talk directly to the FA168CPS, although that would be my preference.
Thanks in advance,
Ed
