Connecting your alarm pannel to your home automation system has a lot of benefits, because you don’t only control it, you also are providing to the system a lot of information that allows to improve automations.

promising device,
in fact, as is decided to buy this product by anyone, need to have in mind that can be useful, only according with his experience in programming!
for me, it was so painful due to the fact that at the beginning i can t set correctly the interface due to the incorrect appearance of graphical interface in my web browser; at that time i was contacting the support ,but nothing change, even in present day!!
the device is appear running correctly in the cdash platform, but i don t buy this hardware to depend from cdash platform.
so, need to think before to buy it or the support team need to come close of users.
