DSC Plugin and EVL-3 interface not working.

I have an ADT Safewatch 3000 Pro (same as Vista 20P - I think) and I purchased an EYEZ-ON EVL-3 Envisalink Internet Alert Module for DSC & Honeywell Security units. I can login to the EVL-3 web interface and see zone statuses and all, but I cannot get the DSC Alarm plugin to get Ingido talking with it.

I truly don't know much about the alarm panel or the EVL-3, but I'd like to figure it out one day and be able to use any of the alarm sensors to trigger Indigo to respond (lights, siren (eventually), camera recording (SecSpy) and text messaging me.

Here's all the most recent error messages from the log from where I updated and enabled the plugin.

Here's the proof that the EVL-3 is talking to the panel:

Any ideas what I am doing wrong? I'm a total noob with this panel and such so I'm struggling a lot. I've considered buying the alphanumeric keypad to swap out for my primary pad so I can better work with it.

If anyone here knows these panels well, please help a fellow geek out. :)

Thanks
Ross

Re: DSC Plugin and EVL-3 interface not working.

Hi Ross,

When the Envisalink is connected to a Honeywell panel the protocol and API it uses is completely different. Therefore it doesn't make sense for us to try to support them in the DSC Alarm plugin.

Sorry,
Travis
