I haven’t ever heard of anyway to interface these twp systems together. Also, the Z-Wave sensors that can activate the ST system won’t interface back to activate the NX8 alarm system as alarm systems need to be approved by UL and UL would not approve an alarm activation from a Z-Wave device as Z-Wave isn’t nearly as reliable as the proprietary RF type wireless sensors that do work to initiate an alarm on the NX8 system. I’m actually one of the owners of Alarm Grid and would be happy to share some insight.Īs far as we’ve seen (and I’m certainly no SmartThings expert) the SmartThings system can’t be directly interfaced into the NX8 system. So there is a substantial mistrust factor that you’ll be on a continuous upsell cycle.Ĭan anyone fill in the substantial gaps in my knowledge please? Seems to be the same pricing but has the usual, objectionable hard sell of all these providers, which alarm grid refreshingly lacks. Alarmgrid has spawned to handle the non-Honeywell/Ademco devices. But could this last leg be SS instead? Don’t know. So you can go sensor => alarm panel => GSM module => cell phone connection => Alarm provider => cellphone.

SS communicates with Alarm provider - they all say Z-Wave, but what does that mean? Honeywell supports Alarmgrid which seems to be the original self-management alarm provider.

SS communicates only via the ethernet connecter to the alarm panel - the alarm panel talks with the sensors - DSC seems to work best with SS, Honeywell uncertain, Interlogix, no info.

SS communicates directly with the RF sensors which also talk to the burglar alarm controller - Interlogix seems definitely not to work as they use different frequencies, Honeywell might work, DSC, don’t know.

I am looking at the same question: GE Interlogix, Tyco DSC or Ademco Honeywell control panel? There are multiple levels to the integration question:
