I have to say their shipping is pretty reasonable. So I bought an alarmddecoder AD2USB to interface with the alarm. Looking at the alarmdecoder supported panels FAQ page, the Safewatch Pro 3000 is specifically listed! Score! Looking at the OpenHAB wiki, there’s only a couple options for alarm integration, and alarmdecoder seems to be the thing to use for honeywell/ademco panels The wireless receiver is in the 5881 series, still don’t know for sure the specific model, but I suspect its the 5881enh.
I have a simple touchpad, not an alpha display, probably similar to the 6150, so it’s terrible to program with. Looking at the panel, I have a Safewatch Pro 3000, which the internets tells me is close to a honeywell/ademco vista20p without a couple features like zone doubling.
I opted not to pay ADT’s ridiculous monthly fee since reasonable monitoring can be had for $10/month. I was given a user code, but that was it. As you can see from previous posts, I’ve started automating my house.
