Home Security Panel

[thefjordkeeper (Kevin Slark)]

Hi everyone,

I’m in the USA and looking to move away from ADT when my contract is up in a couple of months. I have a significant number of 345 Mhz Honeywell sensors that I would like to use again. The Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus seems to be the obvious solution, except that the alarm.com integration doesn’t seem to be great, even though I saw there is development to directly integrate the panel in HA.

Are there any other panels that integrate a 345 Mhz radio and dual-mode monitoring that integrate nicely with HA? Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Original Post: A few weeks ago, ADT replaced my legacy DSC panel with a new Qolsys IQ Panel 2 which I was not too thrilled about as I had build a ESP8266 to interface to …

I can say for contact sensors it works well.
