Well, I understand what you are saying, and it is a concern, however the title of the document referenced by the links in the previous post is this:
Installation Set-up and Use of the Envisalink (EVL3 or EVL4) with DSC or Honeywell and Vera UI
I found it by searching for information concerning a Honeywell Alarm and integrating it with Vera. So… if it CAN work with a Honeywell alarm and Vera, then this is what I want to accomplish.
Apparently, there was a specific plugin for the Honeywell alarms available, but the author basically stopped supporting it, and going further, pulled it from distribution. I don’t know anything further about this, but my requests to get a copy of that plugin have gone nowhere.
I understand the point you’re making, but I think you can see why I’m pursuing this avenue of exploration to arrive at a solution.
UPDATE: Well, after an hour of exhaustive searching, I have come to the conclusion that my request for a copy of the old Ademco (Honeywell) plugin, posted on the relative thread was removed, likely by the moderator, who turns out to be you, cybrmage. So why do you come on this thread and post your response above, which is completely unhelpful? Exactly what is your agenda at this point? And what did I ever do to you? I actually bought and installed TWO Honeywell systems, and Envisalinks, on the basis of the availability of a means to link it to Vera. I didn’t know it was through a plugin supplied by you, I don’t know you or who you are, I don’t know what your issues are with Vera or why you pulled your plugin, or why you removed my post (that last point I am assuming of course). I have no agenda other than I want to be able to integrate my alarms systems with my veras. I’m happy to pay for the software to be able to do it.
But this, feels like a specific attack on me. You obviously know far more than you are offering in your post. And based on the information I have seen, it is perfectly reasonable to expect that the DSC plugin should work. Perhaps it can with some adjustment or change of settings… I really don’t know at this point. But it is reasonable for me, in the absence of other information, to expect that it does.
But I am really mystified by the fact that you would delete my request, and then come on this thread and point out something that is essentially unhelpful, and far below your level of knowledge on the subject. Why? If you have an agenda or some issue with vera or something else, why aren’t you addressing that, as opposed to interfering with my efforts to achieve my goal, a path that YOU helped send me on? Do you realize the choices that I have made, and the thousands of dollars in expenses I have already incurred, because of the things that you have done?
If you don’t want to be contributing anything further to this community… that’s fine I suppose, and obviously your decision. But why be here, being unhelpful by posting a comment that provides zero path towards a solution, when you are obviously capable of far more than this?
