So just installed a DSC system today to compliment my HA install. HA is the main driver and I just use the alarm system for some added benefits.
So I was curious today since now I have the system all installed and working great, is there a way with the Envisalink to have it trigger the chimes on the keypad? Say I open a door/window that isn’t directly monitored by the envisalink but I still want it to do its little sound. Is this possible?
Thanks for your help.
I don’t thnk there’s any way from the keypad bus or Envisalink to generate a beep from a keypad. One bit of hackory would be to program a zone on the DSC as an automation only zone with a chime on the zone. You could then have a relay flip when you wanted the DSC keypads to chime. You might have a PGM output available on your DSC panel, that output could be connected to a relay connected to the zone… Then from the keypad or your HA installation, you could send a command to trip the PGM output which would trip your zone and give you the keypad chime.
