    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me if the 8 Zone Alarm Panel (5400) can interface with C-Bus.

    What I want to do is trigger the Pascal Automation Controller (PAC) when the alarm system is armed & disarmed.

    Thanks.

    Steve...

    Yep sure can.
    If the panel is not armed then its safe to assume its disarmed or the second state you would be interested in is "in alarm status".

    Options are many, 3 of which are:-

    1. Use the Ness 100-719 relay board to output into a bus coupler.
    2. Use the 5504GI to capture the open collector outputs of the 5400.
    3. Find an old HomeMinder


    Aux1 - Panel is in alarm
    Arm1 - Panel is armed
    0V - other side of open collector

    There are many other ways to achieve what you are after so I hope that gets you started.
    Cheers

    Nathan,
    You are a slow learner, no offence intended. I doubt a new product release will be confirmed or denied on this fora.

    Lets just say its a rumour. :D
