| DSC panel via Envisalink (motion detectors) | Works | Motion zones confirmed in 0.4.0 betaSaved copy… plugin multiple times and nothing gets triggered.

| Envisalink alarm | Works | Alarm added to HomeKit via Homebridge and tests wellSaved copy… is it Homekit?). It was straightforward to "discover" my Hue bridge and all my lights showed up without me doing much. Then I got to wondering about my envisalink (home alarm) and MyQ (garage door opener). After some reading, I managed to get Homebridge running on a NAS I have here. I was then able to add the envisalink alarm. It all tests well. So I try to add myQ for my garage doors. Booo... doesn't work. I read and learn about ratgdo. OK, I bought 2. I have installed one so far. (I have 2 garage doors). I can see the device in my homebridge, but not in "Apple Home".

| Envisalink alarm system | Works | Alarm in HomeKit; camera-ffmpeg snapshots reliableSaved copyI was able (thanks to Homebridge) to get the alarm system into Homekit. Envisalink for the win! And with camera-ffmpeg got the video snapshots working reliably through a small nginx reverse proxy. Everything runs in a N100 instance with Docker (nginx, homebridge, grafana). Oh and the Plex title cards so the Mrs knows what's up next :-) Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22. | Reddit thread · 2026-04 |
| Envisalink with DSC alarm | Works | Works with no issues; status not synced after Pi reboot, zone bypass unavailableSaved copyI'm using it with no issues on an Envisalink 3 board with a DSC1616. Only minor complaint, if I reboot my pi which hosts the Homebridge, the Alarm status is not synced until I make a change. No big deal.

| Smoke detectors on alarm zones | Partly works | Smoke handling missing after 1.0 rewrite; help requested to testSaved copyI did enable verbose for plugin and homebridge. I will test trigger the smoke zone later can't be done now for noise reason and let you know the result. Smoke event are normally associated with a zone/partition. I get an email from eyezon with the zone from the smoke detector triggered. But this depend on the kind of smoke detector you are using and it could be why NodeAlarmProxy doesn't do it by zone. Wireless smoke detector use a zone like any other device. 2-wire smoke detector don't, they are connected to pgm2 (no zone involved) 4-wire smoke detector, never used them but I think they are … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-22. | Issue #84 · 2021-11 |

| DSC IT-100 serial interface | Won’t be supported | Plugin is Envisalink-only; serial would need a rewriteSaved copyI'm eager to get my DSC panel connected with HomeKit/Homebridge. Years ago I setup the panel with my old Vera system using the DSC IT-100 keypad emulator (https://cms.dsc.com/download.php?t=1&id=16238), which I believe is quite similar to the Envisalink -- except with a serial interface. I have an RS-232 adapter to USB connector on it and previously had it plugged into my Vera's USB port. I now have a Raspberry Pi running Homebridge and I'm wondering if this project would support integration over USB. I'd appreciate any advice you might have.
