Re: Integrating BT Home Monitor VP1000/Visonic to Homeseer

Hmm, that's what I thought. I will have to wait and see how reliable
this
is. It just depends if a keyfob arm/disarm command is missed at any time.

So far I'm impressed. Especially as I can just buy the sensors and use them
as a cheap way of getting info into homeseer (no alarm use). Curtains, cat
flap, doors etc...
