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:
