recreate this using something like asterisk but never got around to it).

None :-O

I know, a terrible thing to admit, especially for someone like me :-)
but when we moved house Vicky was about 8 months pregnant, and the
focus was very definatly on getting moved in and getting everything
baby-ready.

Now I'm at the stage where I'm looking at things to automate. The last
place had a bit of X10, but my experience of it,while not really bad,
wasn't good enough to excite me into putting it too high on the list
of things to install. I also had a bunch os 1-wire sensors around the
place, and I totally plan on installing them here and there.

However the alarm panel is on it's last legs, so it's just jumped
higher on the list.

Something that lets me interact with it would be a big bonus, a
restful API would be a massive bonus, something the AlertMe promises,
but I'm not sure if that is a direct API to the box, or their service?
