EyezOn Forum

Greetings,
I have a Honeywell Vista 20p with the EVL-3 interface and would like to create a simple python script to poll current status for use in a home automation project.

I have found Juggie's very impressive AlarmServer on git but am having trouble getting it to work properly and must admit it appears to have way more features than what I am looking for (pretty complex for this novice).

I can telnet into the envisalink fine and get responses every few seconds that look like this:
%00,01,1C28,08,00, DISARMED CHIME Ready to Arm $

So now what I want to do is automate a polling function every x seconds in order to take the neccessary action when the alarm state changes.

Any suggestions?
John

Not sure about your question. It seems like you want to know how to best write in Python a polling loop to issue Telnet requests and to analyse the responses. If that's what you need you'd be better off trying Python related forums.
