Re: EnvisaLink-3 and DSC PC1616

Hi io_guy, thanks My issue with the ISY was having to run a windows computer 24/7. I run all Mac in my house, so not an option. This Raspberry PI looks very interesting. Model B for $35 I see there are three operating system available. I have not used either one. I have re-built my own dos/windows ...

Re: EnvisaLink-3 and DSC PC1616

I am leaning towards to the EnvisaLink-3 and the INSTEON HUB. As I want the INSTEON Thermostat, switches, floor floor sensor, heat sensor, sprinkler system control and rain sensors. Just one nice big package. Still two separate systems though. On the EnvisaLink-3, when a camera activates does it ...

Re: EnvisaLink-3 and DSC PC1616

Thanks for the reply. OK so camera and alarm access and control are easy. One less thing to worry about. Great! You noted, I needed an older EMS-100,(searched that on E-bay, nothing looked correct) or I won't be able to remote control my thermostat at this time. Is thermostat control something that ...

EnvisaLink-3 and DSC PC1616

I have an active running DSC alarm (PC1616) and monitored to Central Station. It is monitored through phone lines. I want IP access to the alarm from my iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro. I have no PCs in my house. I am seriously looking at this EnvisaLink-3. I like all the items it seems to handle. I think ...
