The WGL W800RF32A can receive the security signals from the DS10A
as well as standard X10 RF signals.  It needs its own RS232 serial
port and software to do something with the signals it receives.

The web page (http://www.wgldesigns.com/w800.html) has a list
of home automation software products which support the W800RF32A
(in some fashion) but I haven't investigated to find out which ones
actually support the security signals and/or how they handle them.
