Re: monitor ademco 20p events with cm11a?



Sorry for delay...Vacation time of  year....

I have my system fire on the following events:
AWAY,STAY, NIGHT activate
system deactivate
Page button
Motion detect main hallway
Gun Case open
Basement Motion
Front Door
Side Door
Basement Door

with the 20P, you can have up to 16 X10 codes assigned to events.

Using most any X10 control software you can monitor for these events
codes and then perform some duty in response, Homeseer is great for
this.
