![]() This is a wireless touchscreen keypad that was built specifically with the IQ Panel 2 Plus in mind. If you are looking for a new keypad to use with the IQ Panel 2 Plus, then you will typically want to go with the IQ Remote. It doesn't have the capability to perform most of the automation functions that are available for the system. Remember, this is a relatively generic push-button keypad, and it can only perform a limited selection of functions on an all-in-one wireless system like the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus. With a DSC PowerG Keypad, you will really be restricted to arming and disarming and checking current system status. While the DSC PowerG Keypad will certainly work with the IQ Panel 2 Plus, it is not the recommended keypad for the system. This makes it possible to control the panel from the keypad. All versions of the IQ Panel 2 Plus support the 915 MHz PowerG frequency that is used by a DSC PowerG Keypad. etc.In this video, Joe explains how to use a DSC PowerG Keypad with a Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus. That is Abode, Verisure, Boundary, Ring, etc. This is something that I believe has been in TV/Movies for years but sadly not in the real world.Įven the so called new, modern, Internet orientated smart alarm system makers have failed to progress beyond offering a basic ‘app’. It is amazing in this era of touch screen displays ala iPhone and iPad that no alarm system has a touch screen display that would display a plan of your house highlighting where a sensor is that has been triggered. So ugly and primitive are most alarm systems (numeric) keypads that one would almost prefer to be robbed than have one right where visitors would see your poor aesthetic taste. There is an LCD touch screen keypad available for the DSC unlike 99.9999% of other alarm systems but in reality it adds very little more and still has an on screen numeric keypad. I agree that DSC keypads can be dated but really no more than 99.9999% of other alarm systems in that it is ‘ye olde’ numeric keypad - like Texecom. They also seem to have far less integration options than a DSC PowerSeries like sadly almost all panels although I believe they are or are supposed to be offering an API for their system. I have looked at Texecom before and actually consider their keypad to be one of the ugliest out there. I type in my IP of my pi .x:8111 and nothing for the belated reply.

If any of the relevant developers are reading this - any chance of you adding this capability? Ideally a similar process for linking smart cameras instead of your typical dumb CCTV camera would also be possible.Īs far as I have seen none of the Smartthings to DSC Alarm Server integrations have a similar option to link a sensor from Smartthings back to the DSC panel in the same way that Home Assistant can. I therefore wanted a way to link a smart sensor back to the alarm system. sensors to be expensive, ugly and far dumber than e.g. In my case I find proprietary smoke, CO, water etc. This is a feature I have been looking for and not finding with traditional alarm systems since they are adverse to allowing alien unsupported devices to connect and potentially degrade the security of their alarm systems. For example, a newer zwave/zigbee sensor can now be integrated into a legacy alarm system using a Home Assistant automation. It is possible to fire off an envisalink-based alarm directly from Home Assistant. Whilst I have a Smartthings hub and don’t currently use the open source Home Assistant software I have noticed an interesting point on this page - Envisalink - Home AssistantĪs of 0.29, the alarm_trigger service is supported. I am planning to get a DSC PowerSeries even though it is ‘old’ technology and no longer approved by insurers here in the UK because in combination with the Envisalink it can be made in to a ‘smarter’ system than all the other UK alarm systems I have seen. ![]()
