    <P><FONT face=Tahoma color=#000080>The DSC Plugin for Homeseer v2.0 uses the DSC pc5401 module to communicate with DSC Power Series 832 Alarm panels.</FONT></P>
    <p><font face="Tahoma">The DSC Plug-in can respond to Homeseer v2.0 events that you
    configure.&nbsp; For example, an event could be configured to cause the DSC Plugin to arm the DSC Power 832 alarm panel.&nbsp; Also, Homeseer v2.0 events
    can be configured to respond to a DSC alarm panel condition.&nbsp; An example of
    this is to configure a Homeseer v2.0 event to trigger based on a monitored
    window opening.</font></p>
    <P>&nbsp;</P>
    <P><B><FONT face=Tahoma>Features</FONT></B></P>

    <li>Trigger Homeseer v2.0 events based on DSC alarm panel conditions and
    events including alarm, entry delay in progress, exit delay in progress,
    armed, disarmed, zone secure, and zone not secure.</li>
    <li>Create Homeseer v2.0 events that can trigger events on the DSC alarm
    panel including arm stay, arm away, arm with zero entry delay, disarm, get
    the real time status, and sound the alarm.</li>
    <li>Support for scripts including DSC Plug-in API calls.&nbsp; Calls supported
    are DSCArm, DSCDisarm, DSCArmStay, DSCArmAway,
    DSCArmZeroEntryDelay, and DSCPanic.</li>
    <li>User aliasing.&nbsp; User numbers can be assigned a user name allowing

    <li>Zone aliasing.&nbsp; Zone numbers can be assigned a user name allowing
    any logging messages or displays to show more meaningful zone names in place
    of the zone number.&nbsp; For example, the
    status will display something like, &quot;Kitchen Window Secure&quot; and not , &quot;Zone
    001 Secure&quot;.</li>
    <li>Devices are created for each partition showing the current status.&nbsp;

    Congratulations cactsbob!

    From what I read I think there are a few fellows on this board who will be very happy with this news.

    It seems that a lot of people are using the DSC brand alarm systems.

    Personally I do not have a DSC system but a few of my clients do.

    Is the plug-in available now and how much will it cost?

    Thanks

                  Does this Plug in support the 864 Panel

                  I have the 864 panel with the same PC interface. Will your plugin support it?

                  Thanks;

                    This plugin does work with the DSC 864 Panel also

                    Shortly after I posted the question asking if it works with the 864, I just purchased the plugin and it works fine. I look forward to learning how to trigger events and events trigger setting with this plugin.

                      Good to hear that you are up & running. I am working on a new version & hope to get it out soon. I won't charge for this upgrade.

                        This is a great plug-in! Just installed it and it's running awesome. Will be making the purchase once we do a little more testing.

                            Ring Detected = 5609B

                            I found an interesting thing that I never noticed before. When my home phone rings, I get an event in my log from the DSC panel that says Ring Detected. I could use that to mute audio, or say something.

                            Does anyone know how to trap event log messages to trigger an event?

                            I tried to see if the DSC plug in trapped this, but it doesn't appear to trap that event.

                            Thanks,

                            Scott

                              Missing documentation

                              Hi Bob

                              When I installed the DSC Panel Plug-In, if I remember correctly, it asked me if I wanted to log every change reported by the panel. I thought it was a good idea and I said yes. Now I would like to change that to no. How do I do that?
