There are quite a few threads on this topic on the community. If you have a Vista alarm panel you can integrate it with this appliance where it acts as another keypad:
Curious to hear peoples’ experience with the Raspberry Pi implementation of Nu Tech’s AlarmDecoder .

Hi Everybody,
I’ve posted here and there a few times before about the NodeMCU ESP8266 based solution to connect wired alarm components (door/window sensors, motion sensors, smoke detectors and siren) to SmartThings for under $25. I’ve been promising big updates in the 2.0 release, and they are ready!

Thanks to the overwhelming support I’ve gotten for this project from this community, I’ve kept working on it. A little more than a month ago, I decided to work on a new version with the goal of making it plug-and-play, so I can make this project accessible to even the most non-technical users. Around the same time, another community member here, @copyninja , approached me with…
You can even use the ST_Anything library to integrate your devices as well.
Again there are many other threads on alarm integration.
