Hi
I am new to the Homeseer Forum and very new to Homeseer ( I purchased and got the system up and running on Homeseer 3 Pro on a windows machine last week after my Vera Plus unit decided to become an expensive ornament whilst performing a firmware update).
I am loving Homeseer at the moment and for the most part, it is very snappy and a lot easier to work with in comparison to vera.
I currently have no security system and am looking to invest. I had thoughts about using the fibaro motion sensors (I currently have 3) to trigger events similar to an alarm system but have found them to be a little intermittent in the refresh times etc (not just with homeseer as it was the same with vera).
I have tried making sense on the posts on here for whats available and has integration for homeseer.
My end game is to ideally have an alarm system that supports:
- arm/disarm by a RFID chip of some kind
- arm/disarm through homeseer
- show all motion sensors/window contact sensors in homeseer to use for triggers
- Ideally, support 3rd party components (e.g. any 2 wired dry contact switches, PIR's etc.
I have looked into the DSC panels as listed in the forums but I'm not 100% sure of what components id exactly require.
If I was to get the following would that be all I require for initial setup:
DSC PC1864 PowerSeries 8-64 Zone Control Panel
Solex PIT1640U 16v 40va Plug-in Transformer
DSC IT-100 PowerSeries Integration Module
Is this a good setup to go for and does it meet all my wants/requirements?
Is there a different/better system that meets all these requirements that are available/compatible in the UK?
Thanks in advance for all the help and I look forward to contributing myself to this forum once I get to grips with it.
