Scott,

See Martin Terry's msg as he's doing most of the stuff I want to do except for the intercom
part. Hopefully I'll get that figured out over the holidays. If so I'll post it here.
I'll also post about my attempts to do the hook-up's via Home Vision - PC.

Later
Tom

tom - i've got a DSC power832 as well, but haven't really looked into what i can do
with it through ECS... how are you planning to interface with the 832? does DSC have
a page that lists the things that you can change (arm/disarm, etc) and the things you
can poll for (armed status) ?

thanks...

Has any one out there tried this combination? I want to use ECS to determine if the
system is armed or not and arm it at the appropriate times. I also want to have certain
things happen depending on if the system is armed / disarmed in the away / stay mode
based upon the time of day, turn on/off lights ect. I also would like it to do certain
things depending on who arms / disarms (wife / kids each have their own code). Last
but not least I want ECS to phone me in the event of alarm with seperate messages for
intruder / fire / CO ect.
I know its alot but what the hey, Christmas vacation is coming up so I'll have a little
time to play.
