I installed the CLI and figured out how to monitor the envisalink. It says the password is incorrect. I’m using a 10 character alpha-numeric pw and tried changing it. Still says wrong pw even though the password allows me to log into the envislink account. Any ideas?
Are you confusing the Envisalink app cloud password with the Envisalink password, which defaults to “user”?
Thank you to the developer creating this!
Now, my stupid questions as I need to switch from Alarmserver that I set up 5 years ago but my understanding is that it will stop working soon.
I did installed the Edge driver, I can see the DSC Home Alarm Panel in my ST app but even after Setting the EVL4 IP (replacing nnn by the actual local address 137/ static address ) and user by my password ( verified) it still shows offline.
Is possible that the problem is that my alarm server is still running?
Thank you
Edit:
Noticed that my EVL4 FW was v130 and there is upgrade available so I tried that if it will make any difference.
Edit2:
Shows Online now, zones reported correct status for while but now all zones no longer reporting.
All icons are black and white now. I also unplugged my Alarmserver Raspberry but it did not make any difference.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
T mentioned in a prior question for a user that the password uses at the interface level IS NOT the same as the one you use for web based application.
Thanks for reply!
I’m sure I have the right password (same as when you log in using local IP) since Panel shows On Line
Also it was reporting fine for short period of time.
Well, not sure how, but it’s working now again 
Also one more question, what are those fields in the app? Don’t see any way to use or edit them. Thanks
Oh man, that’s exactly what I was doing wrong. Switched the pw to “User” and now everything works perfectly. Thank you so much! I’m learning so much tinkering with these systems and I’m so grateful people like you are able to help out when I get stuck!

Cool.
Now try using your alarm zones for automation.
Credit goes to T for developng a solid edge driver.
If you have android in your car, you can create screen elements to arm disarm, open garage, turn on lights, etc.

Just to let you know, I’m still seeing incorrect field labels on the latest version of the Android app (1.7.89.25). The labels are correct on an old version of the Android app (1.7.56.21) that I keep around.
Yes, it appears that label issue is not going to be fixed by SmartThings. Instead they have said that capabilities have to have localizations defined (new/rework required). Unfortunately that might mean having to recreate your devices, which is NOT something I’m too keen to force on my users. I’m still trying to find a reliable way to fix it with existing devices.

Understood.
FWIW, it wouldn’t take long for me to recreate my devices. I only use my panel device in automations, not the sensor devices.
Thanks again for your work on this driver.

Hello
I am in the same boat as you. I have alarmserver with a raspberry pi. I will wait until Smartthings makes the switchover before I install the Edge drivers. In the meantime what did you do exactly before installing the new driver. You mentioned unplugging from the raspberry pi. Is there anything else do I need to do on the app? I would greatly any feedback. Thank you.
Nothing to it Peter, install the latest Edge drivers
In the ST app you will find the DCS Alarm Panel, click on it, in the menu select setting.
Configure
Envisalink local LAN address
Alarm local login password
Your alarm code you can change later to avoid any noise if something goes wrong 
and configure the type of zones you are using.
I have also updated my Envisalink firmware. You have to log in to the online portal to do that.

Unplugged my Alarm server Raspberry ( now already removed all of it from ST)
Then reboot it
Be patient it took some time before it showed as On line in The ST app.
After you see all your DSC zones in the ST app rename them and perhaps create room to group them to keep it organised.
It was very easy looking back.
THANKS to the developer again!

Thanks for the quick reply.
I realize this might be a dumb question but did you delete the old DSC Integration smart app from the IDE or app? Basically all remnants of the old app must be deleted before I install the edge driver. Correct?
Call it fear but everything is running fine with alarmserver. I am very grateful there is a solution (many thanks T Austin) after receiving the email from Smartthings they are switching platforms. I will grind it out once it is no longer working then I will make the switch.
Your advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
The key is to just shut down the alarmserver script running on your Pi. You don’t have to delete the devices and SmartApp for the Edge driver to work, but you may as well do so. You might want to just make note of which zones are which since you’ll be configuring the new driver with each zone you want (contact/motion/etc).
You also eventually have to re-do any automations you had created to use the new devices.
I understand your trepidation with making the switch over, but I think you’ll find it’s less painful than you might think.

I promise you, it is much much easier to get going with @TAustin’s solution/driver, than the R-Pi setup. And for me, much more reliable (especially not having to worry about an SD-card going bad every few months in the Pi.
I have moved to Hubitat, and this driver is the only reason why I’ll keep the Smartthings hub on. (I make use of the SharpTools Rules Engine to communicate alarm events to the Hubitat hub.)
Hi @TAustin, I’ve recently enrolled my hub to the DSC Envisalink SmartThings Edge driver and I was able to set it up and get real-time status upon change of state. It was all good for 1 week but then everything becomes offline (while there are no changes to the security system, its IP address and port) and it remained as offline ever since.
How do I troubleshoot it or I need to remove the hum/zone devices and link them up again periodically?
I install the driver via the following link.
I have not installed any previous version Envisalink driver, so can eliminate any driver conflict.
I have active professional monitoring subscription for my security system, but I can confirm that I have not made any hardware/configuration changes since I setup the DSC panel in the SmartThings app.
Thanks.

I was able to login to the web interface of envisalink from my home network and it shows the system is ready. But status is still offline in SmartThings. And I have double confirmed that the IP configured is the IP currently in use.
Are the SmartThings devices REALLY offline? I have seen cases where the app can show “offline”on the dashboard for a device, but in fact it is not and is fully functional.
