I hace a DSC Alarm. It is connected to doors and has siren. No dial out To vendor for monitoring.
Any thoughts or resources to integrate my FSC alarm with smart things.

This set up allows arm/disarm via local LAN so you do not have to worry about https, security, and port forwarding. It creates all devices, you only need device types for contact, motion, smoke, and co2. Very simple, and easy. If you have a raspberry pi you can host alarmserver on it and have this running much much quicker and easier than any other dsc integration method.
This is from @sanity , @xero , @ethomasii , @jtt , @rfish8u , @mattmartz , and countless others I"ll name as I remember. If you’re experienced in setting this up you can skip directly to the devices, smartapp, and alarmserver and be good to go. For new users, view the advanced r…
