i have a ademco vista15 alarm system and i was wondering if it is possible to be able to activate and deactivate the alarm through xl and if so what do i need to do it?

thanks

Is it compatible with HomeSeer ?

If so, I think it would work with xap3 plugin. Of course, you will need HomeSeer running on your system in addition to Xlobby.

I found that:

X-10 control & 4 relays supported for home management

is possible with your alarm system.
First learn how to control your alarm with x10.
Then search this forum for x10 and learn how to send x10 from xlobby.

When I first read that I thought that to rika, but I think the alarm acts as a x10 controller that can control up to 4 relays via x10 technology. I don't think you can use an external controller to control the alarm.

I think you may be into a little bit of hacking and reverse engineering in order to pull it off.
