Re: Is it out there anywhere?

["Robert L Bass" <robertlbass@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

There is a system that can do all that you asked.  It's called M1 Gold and
it's made by ELK Products.  It can display and/or speak the status of each
zone, as well as the status of the system at each keypad.  Both Ethernet
connectivity and RS-232 (one to eight ports) are supported.  The system can
send and receive X10.  It supports multiple lighting and home automation
protocols.

I recently sold a complete ELK M1G system for a 4000 sf residence.  The cost
of material, including sensors, zone expanders, Ethernet port, etc., was
about $1,800.  The system included 48 hard-wired "zones" (circuits for alarm
sensors), two keypads plus fire and burglary protection.  The system
included the optional Ethernet card.  If the client had only needed RS232,
which is built-in to the mother board, it would have come in at under
$1,600.

If you need of a source give Wade Moose, president of ELK Products, a call
and ask him about me.  If you'd like access to ELK manuals give me a call.
I'll be happy to forward them to you or answer any questions you may have.
