[mh] DSC Power 832 Doorbell

[<ph...@zo...>]

Hi,

I'm working on my Misterhouse setup and decited to go ahead and buy the 
alarmsystem that has been on my whislist for years now.

I wanted to buy a NX8e but after looking on the net I bought a DSC 
Power 832 with the bi-directional insterface.

It's not in yet but, I have a question about the zones.
Can you see the status of NULL Zones? What I want to do is also use the 
system as cheap digital I/O. I want to connect the doorbell button to a 
zone input and the doorbel ringer itself to a PGM output on the DSC. 
This way I can trigger Misterhouse if someone pushes the button.

I've been looking around in the DSC software but I can not find 
anything about zones that are just for supervising and not trigger any 
alarm.

I know the DSC has a doorbell function that can be activated per zone. 
And extra ringers can be added on the PGM outputs but, can the PGM 
outputs be controlled from Misterhouse?
If they can, I would have control over the ringer itself and be able to 
switch it of in sleeping mode for instance.

Thanks,

Timo
