[yvesracine]

@cslee,

Here are the answers to your questions

(1) The setup can be powered from the alarm panel (if you have at least 9v available)

(2) Null modem RS-232 cable is required.

Please read this thread if you have any questions about the setup:

DSCAlarmSmartThings Guide?

Hey guys, I’m about to get a nice little smartthings setup. I wish to use DSCalarmSmartthings to interface with my alarm. Could anyone who got this to work make a guide? Specifically the part of putting the smartthings shield, the rs232, Arduino mega, and the it-100 together? I can upload basic libraries and Arduino code, but I have no idea about this whole pin thing (in the readme.md) Yes, I do have an arduino mega protoshield. Thanks, me.
