Re: [misterhouse-users] Ademco Vista Alarm

[Joey S. <rjs...@us...>]

Rich,

I have an Ademco Vista20 system I integrated using the Ademco X10 interface
module.  It is limited to sending only 8-9 X10 Codes (both on and off) that
are triggered by various events (alarm enabled, triggered, disabled, fire,
zone trigger, etc).  I haven't done any more than that due to lack of time.

Is there any more information that could be gathered from the RS-232
interface?  Could you provide details on how you tapped into the proprietary
bus?  I would be very interested in getting this setup.  I didn't realize it
was standard RS-232.  I have some experience reverse-engineering
communication protocols (i work for a SCADA company), so I might could be of
some help if I could see the protocol myself.

Thanks,

Joey
