There's been a few people tripped up on the password. The web page for the 2DS/3DS can take longer passwords, but the TPI (at least according to the docs) only accepts 6 characters - so that's all I send.

I've found an automation app on android that I really like - Automagic, it's on play. The android automation apps all seem to work the same way so I expect most any will work.

When you combine the envisalink and DSC with Automagic and my DscServer app (and the DscKeypad app of course), you get a home automation system that can run on a low end android phone for a fraction of the cost of cable home monitoring systems.

You can do some pretty cool things with Automagic. I've combined it with WEMO and now I can turn lights on/off when a zone is tripped (like my front door opening). If the alarm triggers I flash the outside lights on and off until it stops - tell the emergency responders "Just look for the house where the lights are flashing!". I can open and close my garage door, turn on/off lights, arm the system, put my thermostat into "away" mode, and more, using an email, or text message, or a widget on my home page.

Hi,

The previous poster on this thread with the username Angelie embedded a spammy link to my site with the anchor text "Business Voip Providers". Can this be removed please?

Thanks

I've had quite a few requests for this so I thought I'd mention it here for anyone that was waiting for it. I've just finished Google Home integration for the (paid) DscServer app (on google play). You run this app as a server on a low end android phone/tablet, about $20 from walmart/bestbuy, etc if you don't have an old one lying around. Amazon Alexa should be along soon too once I get my hands on one. More info: https://sites.google.com/site/mppsuite/ ... rver/voice. Sorry, DSC only.

The DscServer can also be accessed remotely from an android phone. Since the last time I posted I've added a few features that might also be of interest: there's a permanent security system event log posted to a spreadsheet on your Google Drive account. That same feature adds a (personal) Google Scripts hosted web page that can be used to manage your DSC system from any browser, including from iOS. It's not in the same league as eyezon but at least it's yours, and you can certainly continue use eyezone as well.
