Hello All,
I am having issues with connecting my Vera Lite to my security system.
Current system settings:
Vista 10p with 6148 Fixed keypad and EVL-3 installed:
ip: 192.168.2.10 (can log in locally and remotely to arm/disarm, etc.)
user name and password: default settings (user/user)
Vera Lite: 192.168.2.17 (f/w 1.5.408 ) with the DSC alarm plug in and following settings:
ip: 192.168.2.17:4025
InterfaceType: 2DS
DoorZones: 1,2 (default setup when plug is installed)
MotionZones: 3,4,5,6 (default setup when plug is installed)
EnableRemoteArm: arm
EnableRemotePanic: false
EnableManualLabels: false
That is as far as I can get (other that the IP and Enable remote Arm, these are the default settings). The panel doesn’t seem to respond to anything from the Vera Web page. I have trolled as much information as I can possibly find on this setup (still new with MCV though) and haven’t been able to get these talking to each other.
Well that is a shame. Figured since the EVL-3 is able to interface to the DSC and the Vista panels this plugin would work since the veralite interfaces to the EVL-3.
I think Garrett is right, for the ademco vista 10p you’ll need the AD2USB adapter from nutech and the honeywell ademco vista AD2USB plugin in the app store.
The EVL-3 is just a bridge/protocol-gateway into the respective alarm system bus. The language spoken on those busses can be completely different when connected to a DSC vs a Vista.
I imagine the EVL-3 “Ademco” could be adapted into, or forked from one of, the existing Ademco Plugins but you’d need to talk to their respective owners.
Thanks guys for the reply. I wish I had more time to sit and figure this interface out, especially with the EVL-3 TPI document available but for now I will just control my alarm from their web page interface.
Just changed out the Vista 10P for a DSC (with Evl3) Linked it to my NEST thermostat. When I arm the system it puts Nest in away mode and when disarmed puts Nest in home mode. …sweet!
