some info from the MisterHouse guys.  I'll probably open up a dev thread in a few weeks when I get my IT-100 in the mail.

I'm sure some work could be done via remote access, but It's always nice to have hands on.  From the look of things, the PC1616, PC1832 and the PC1864 all work the same way.  The 1616 and the 1832 can be had for just over $120.  Depending on my level of success, I may be willing to send someone the panel to get it working.  But that will be in the future, I think the few of us can get this thing working. 

My main goal for LinuxMCE in my new home is using it for a security system and VOIP.  I'd like to be able to remotely monitor my security cameras (analog, not IP based), monitor and control my lighting, security panel and in home audio.  The video media is great and all, but I actually read a lot more than I watch TV.

The issue is that none of them have an IT-100 to test things out, so everything they tell you is basically theoretical. So, we must do it ourselves, or, we must buy them a DSC 1616 with a IT-100 so they can figure it out :)   I'll start working on it at the end of the month when I close.

I don't close on the house until Feb 27th, so they wont let me play with the alarm panel until then.  I already asked ;) 
I have not purchased anything special for it yet.
I know I can get a GC-100-12 or 18, but that's $300 and I'd like to avoid extra cost if possible. 
I agree that the majority of new homes I've seen have the DSC 1616 and I think it's well worth figuring out for the project.  I have no issues cracking open the books to figure out how to make it run even if it takes a while.  It will be well worth it in the end.

I'll attempt to connect to the DSC PC1616 that I have installed right now.  I think that an even easier way to do all of this would be to just connect to the relays but the documentation on this is very scant.

I currently have a DSC PC1616 (rather low end, but it was pre-installed).  I'll see what I can do to help out.  I have a little programming experience (very little).  Although it's not your model, I'll try to get something working on this line and if not, I'll go by a Honeywell.

That's the hard part, finding an old Ademco Destiny 6100 to purchase ;)

Oddly enough, I too am looking for whatever will work with LinuxMCE.  For me, LinuxMCE appears to be the perfect solution for home security in my new home.  I've been using it already for media in my current house, but I have never had a security system.
