Most security alarm panels out there have the ability to use a “Keyswitch Zone”. This is a zone that when closed will ARM or DISARM the system. On Honeywell Vista panels there is also a built-in relay that will close when the system is armed. I am using a MIMOlite to monitor the ‘Armed Status’ (cont…

[image] disforw: My question is, can I change the Hub LocationMode based on the contact being OPEN or CLOSED? or will I need to find/make an App that will do that? I’m assuming you mean Home, Away, Night, etc, etc modes, which in that case you can use a Routine. When you create a new one, an…

Could you please show exactly how you wired up the mimolite to your security panel?

+1 on how you have this wired up. It’s sounds so simple and brilliant. I really want to get my panel connected in a simple way and this on surface sounds just the job Cheers.

you made me realize you could do this with an alarm system remote key fob too, just need to hardwire the contact in the remote to a MIMOlite.

I will create a wire diagram tomorrow, in the mean time this is what my device looks like… I can still use a bit of help with the coding if anyone is interested in this project. [image] [image]

Wiring Diagram for a Honeywell Vista20p panel [image]

Many thanks for sharing the wiring diagram, I’m going to match this up to my panel and see if it’s easy to replicate. Not being an expert on Honeywell configuration, did you have to program anything within the panel or is this zone 8 typically reserved for keyswitch operation? Thanks for such a gr…

Try searching Google for “Adding Keyswitch to Honeywell Vista XXX” where xxx is your model number. I’d paste it for you here but there are a bunch of different panels. Basically you need to do 2 things, change a zone type to Keyswitch and program the trigger output for armed. Both are very easy it s…

Is the mimolite capable of displaying the voltage of the input trigger? I see you have it shown but at 0v.

Yes it is, I am using contact closure for my solution.
