Either Buy DSC Wired Gear yourself[1] and install it (hard) or do a "less secure" wireless system using HomeAssistance and Zigbee or Zwave devices.

- kotaKat 4y agoDon't forget you can add an AlarmDecoder to a DSC (or Honeywell Vista) system! https://www.alarmdecoder.com/ https://www.alarmdecoder.com/ It basically sits on the keypad bus of the system and emulates a normal keypad, so you can integrate it into whatever applications you want like HomeKit, or as my colleagues did, a fully homespun bespoke home automation suite in .NET.
- thedougd 4y agoDSC has a serial port option that accepts all their commands and offers virtual keypad functions. There are also third party option networked options that speak the same protocol.
- thedougd 4y agoI highly recommend Alarm Relay for monitoring a traditional system. $120 a year or so.
