Is the Envisalink compatible with my ADT Safewatch Pro 3000EN (VISTA-20P)? I see the wiring for the DSC systems and I found the installation guide on your website, but is there a wiring diagram for connection to VISTA-20P?

Our official response is that the Envisalink 3, at this time, only supports Ademco/Honeywell panels labelled Vista10P, Vista15P, Vista20P, and Vista21P.
We are quite aware that Ademco/Honeywell "private labels" these panels for a variety of monitoring companies with no modifications other than the actual label. That being said, we can't possibly test, let alone acquire all the different variants so we can't say 100% that it will work, but if you're sure that the panel is a Vista-20P then it should.

I have a safewatch 3000EN (Vista20) and it works just great. Eyez on guys do have an installation bit for the honeywell as well. I think its just a link in the install instructions that says to get the latest go to the link. Something like that. Very easy to install. It just hooks into the system where the keypads do. You just have to give it an address and program your alarm system to activate that keypad address. If you have any idea how to program the safewatch then its as easy as it gets I would say.

Thanks for the response. I ordered the EVL-3 and can't wait to install it. Now how about connecting ip cameras and thermostat to access through the Envisalink? Any compatibility issues with thermostats (radiothermostat wifi or z-wave)?

I just want to update that I got the EVL-3 work with my ADT Safewatch 3000EN (modified Ademco Vista 20P) with no problem. I also managed to link my IP camera as well (Tenvis JPT3815W). Now I am looking for the best way to control/monitor lighting, garage door and temperatures. Any ideas will be appreciated.

You can look at the ISY it's working with DSC systems, but I don't believe there's a an Envisalink API for Ademco yet.
