Does anyone know if the GSM module for this control has to go to alarm.com? Are their any other "clearing houses" that support it? And is it possible to set up my central station to receive the GSM signals directly?
Thanks,
James
From what I read it goes to alarm .com for it to go to another central you would need to use something like uplink or tellulars unit with it.
I would not even use the stuff till the lawsuit Honeywell has against them is cleared up or you could end up with a pile of non supported junk. Just think the Kodak disk cameras. from years back.when Polaroid went after them.

Alarm.com is the only GSM radio available that works with the 2Gig GOControl system. Our network operations center is set up to forward signals to any central station of your choosing, and they need not set anything special up to receive our signals (standard SIA or CID). The same network operations center allows us to process the system and sensor information to give the end user a feature rich experience through our web portal and mobile applications.
Hope this information helps!

Colin,
Yes, Thanks it does help. I operate my own central station and want the signals to come here. I was unclear on how alarm.com did this. I talked to someone at alarm.com today and they explained the process is similar to alarmnet. Needles to say I am reading through your contract now.
Nick,
I thought that lawsuit had been settled. Guess thats what I get for doing my own thinking again :)
Thanks,
JAmes
Last I heard it was not settled had not even gone thru motions yet think its still in discovery.
I seriously wouldn't worry too much about that and neither does a gazillion dealers using the panel.
Yes No No

It's an incredible service, too bad you can't add it to more manufacturers like Honeywell or especially DSC
