Is there a way to set this up to work with HST? I just cant figure out how to arm/disarm via HST since I have a passcode set in BLSecurity.

I do not use HSTouch so I am not much help. I have never used it once.
I am pretty sure I saw someone using it in HSTouch. You just need the right person to read this post.
You may be able to display the security panel page right in HSTouch but not sure how that is done. Maybe a HSTouch guru can comment.

This is my security screen. When the disarm button is pressed, a little keypad pops up where the user code is entered. When the enter key is pressed, it calls an HS script and passes the code to it. The script does a test to check if it is a valid code and if it is, disarms the partition using the supplied code.

The user enters their code into the keypad screen. When the enter key is pressed, this script is called and passes the typed code as ScriptParameter 1. Lastly, the enter key closes thee keypad screen. I know that some screens don't actually close the keypad screen does. Go figure.
Hope this helps.

You'll notice that I set a virtual device state depending who disarms the system. You'll also need to create an event that disarms the partition.

Can you give me a little help on how to actually set up the pass code screen to suit the info into the script? I'm still very green with all HS can do

Append text to a text box Element >> Keypad, Disarm Display, Disarm >> 1
Likewise for the other number pads. The "X" key performs 2 functions:
Clear a text box element >> Keypad, Disarm Display, Disarm
and Close a screen >> Keypad, Disarm
The button that looks like a fast forward button is actually the enter button and it is defined as follows:
Homeseer: Run a Homeseer script with values from element(s) >> DSC_Alarm_Code_Input.vb >> Main >> ScriptParameter1: Display, Disarm
and Close a screen >> Keypad, Disarm
Make sure your script is in the script folder in the Homeseer folder.
That's it.
