If you have a Honeywell Vista or DSC alarm panel you can connect an Envisalink 4 to your alarm panel. Envisalink will integrate with Smartthings with one of the edge drivers below. I currently have this installed in my Honeywell Vista 20P panel along with a Total Connect 2.0 module, and they don’t seem to conflict with each other. You just have to set the Envisalink to shadow mode which the directions explain.
Do you have a DSC security system that you would like to integrated with SmartThings locally using the new hub Edge platform?
Required: Envisalink 3 or 4 (see EnvisaLink™ EVL-4EZR For DSC & Honeywell Systems )
Envisalink is an interface board that links your DSC security system to your local LAN, giving you control and visibility to your system via the local network. This driver connects to Envisalink and gives you complete visibility and control over your partitions and zones within Smarthings.
06/20/23 UPDATE: Version 3 of this driver is now generally available. Please see this post .
Honeywell Systems require a different driver; see this post
Feel free to post any questions or comments here.
This Edge driver provides a direct, local connection between the SmartThings hub and an Envisalink interface that is installed in a Honeywell/Ademco Vista panel. No additional hardware is required besides the ST Hub, Vista alarm system, and Envisalink. The driver supports two partitions and attempts to glean as much data as possible from the Vista panel. This driver uses the Envisalink connection functions developed by @TAustin for the DSC/Envisalink integration. The logic for parsing Vista keypad update data from the Envisalink builds upon the work done by @redloro for the STNP integration.
This driver is a work in progress. I’m still tinkering with things, but I feel like it’s in good enough shape to share and get feedback. Also, ST Edge is currently (October 2021) in beta, and may chan…
