I have a Simon XT panel that supports Z-Wave but cannot be added as a secondary controller to homeseer.
is there a Z-Wave device that can bridge two independent networks?
High level goal:
Add a z-wave device to the Simon XT panel (e.g., most likely something that can be plugged into a computer and recognize commands)
Add a second z-wave device in the same computer connected the Homeseer controller.
Each time a command is sent to the simon xt z-wave device, it automatically resends the command to the homeseer network. On the HomeSeer network, any command can act as a source of an event. By having the computer as an intermediary I assume this would also minimize lag and avoid the need for polling.
Assuming the device can emulate a "dimmer" this should support 100 messages (0-100% dim) - commands the simon xt can easily send.
I want this to have access to events from my alarm system (e.g., door is opened, etc) while having all my home automation done within homeseer. So 10% would be the front door opened, 15% the laundry room door opened, 20% garage opened, etc.
Thoughts? Is this viable and how can it be done or is there a better approach?
Thanks.
