RE: HA and Alarm Panels



Title: Message
Thanks for the replies Mike and Kenneth.  However I think perhaps I wasn't clear enough.  I understand the reasons for wanting to have an Alarm system "talking" to a home controller (as explained by both of you), however my question restated maybe a little clearer is:
 
"for people who own security panels/systems WITH elements of HA controller functionality (e.g. lighting control possibilities) built in (eg. Genesis or Comfort) AND also own an HA controller such as Homevision, do they actually use the HA controller functions in the security panels/systems and if so why. "
 
Maybe people with both always purchased the security panels/systems for other reasons than the HA controlling function (and security of course which is a given) eg. Comfort for telephony functions.
 
Does that make sense ??

Shane,

 

The idea behind allowing the two to “talk” to each other is for occupancy detection and integration, i.e. the house behaves differently when the alarm is armed and various things can be done with this, well that’s my plan anyway.

Hi there,

 

I would like to ask the group about split functionality between between a pure HA controller (Homevision springs to mind :-)  ) and a security system that has HA control functions in it - specifically Comfort or Genesis ?

 

Clearly the security panel performs security and I know the comfort system has the telephone functionality.  The question is really about the features that could be performed by either.  The reason for the question. ?  Well I am seriously considering the Homevision system with a Caddx NX-8 but I know a number of you have a Comfort and at least Frank has a Genesis.  Frank's site talks about doing some control with the security product and some with homevision - I just don't understand why, why not leave the HA control to the HA controller and the security to the security controller  - are there significant limitations with homevision that preclude this ?

 

Cheers

Shane
