How to get DSC alarm system to communicate with my PC? (hacks/mods ?)

STOP THAT!

There is a terminal on the board that goes low on arming and the high when disarmed. You can use it to trigger a relay to indicate the arming status to a Home Automation Controller. It's called the PGM terminal and you want to program it to "07" to do this. It's in the installation manual which you can d/l here if you need it:

Have fun troubleshooting multiple pirs on one zone.

Remember, I only monitor 1 installation.

Not dozens, or hundreds, or more.

How many of you guys have to chase down a faulty pir on a daily or weekly basis?

How often do you think I'm gonna have problems with my 6 (six, only six, 2 sets of 3 wired in series) given the fact that they were already mounted, wired and adjusted by someone else?

Only once.

Then ........ after two or three days/weeks/or months of trial and error, trouble shooting with indefinite results, trying to find out which unit is falsing, you'll get the point and change it. But .......on second thought, if you can't understand the reason for doing it ahead of time ...... maybe you wont change it then either. Because ...... after all, what are the chances of it ever happening again ........ Right?

Well I never have to chase that kind of problem down, because I always put only 1 pir on a zone...same for gbs.
