@benvlug, this integration is very difficult to debug remotely as there are many parts that can
go wrong.
You need to check if you receive anything from the IT-100 using the Serial Monitor.
In the Serial Monitor (included with the Arduino tool), you should see something similar to the following:
received:
90100032 Date Time JUL 23/15 7:12p25
processing cmd
LCD update

In ST live logging, the messages would be similar to:

In order to receive debug information, you have to uncomment the following:
// setup debug port
'#ifdef DEBUG_ENABLE
You may also have to change the speed:
// setup IT-100 serial port
Serial1.begin(19200); => Try changing baud rate here from 9600 to 19200
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println(“Ready”);
'#endif
// initialize variables
bufferIdx = 0;
readyStatus = true;
armed = ‘0’;
alarm = false;
// Now increase the baud rate
alarmSetBaudRate(19200);
Also, in Serial Monitor, please make sure that your baud rate for listening to your port is set to 9600 as this is the default speed set in the sketch (you can change the baud rate usually at the bottom right corner).
If it works, then you can increase the speed up to 115200 (if you want) or leave it at 19200 (refer to alarmSetBaudRate() call)
When done with your debugging, you should comment out the DEBUG_ENABLE flag as you don’t want to do this kind of tracing normally, and upload the sketch again.
Good luck.
P.S. In order to test the code properly, use a nearby motion sensor and wave at it to see if the zone status will be changed.
Also, did you look at the following thread?
Many ST users have the same questions about this setup, and you can find some answers in the thread.
Regards.
