    Contact-ID from Homeseer instead of panel?

    So, I'm considering building security direct with homeseer and z-wave (etc) sensors rather than a dedicated security panel. Ignoring the pros/cons of either way (done lots of reading and thinking on that), the one thing I can't currently do that i want to do is get Monitored security without a panel.

    I'd like to figure out a way to change that. I would be more than happy to try to write something (with my limited knowledge) that can speak Contact-ID, the standard monitor protocol the security people use to supply monitoring. However to do so I would also need a physical way to actually dial in and connect to them, which means at a minimum I need something that has an rj11 jack and can generate the needed tones.

    I'm *assuming* noone has done this already, but if someone has I'd be interested in what you've done. OR, if you know of a simple piece of hardware I could use to fit the bill to try to convince to dial and generate the needed tones, I'd be interested in that too...

    regards,
