Can LMCE do this with the Security element

[plodge]

I want to use LMCE to link into my Comfort alarm system. To do this, I need to emulate the alarm keypad (same buttons as a telephone), and as soon as you press a button on LMCE (ie 1) all it does it send KD01 down the RS232 port - nothing more.

This is an extremely high end alarm with many features and been around for 10 years or so. Also does Home Automation (which I extensively use)

Can LMCE do this ? You dont press 1234 as a sequence then send that in one go.

So say your signin code is 1234#, the sequence would be :

Press 1 on the LMCE Security Keypad screen
LMCE send KD01 down the RS232 port

Press 2 on the LMCE Security Keypad screen
LMCE send KD02 down the RS232 port

Press 3 on the LMCE Security Keypad screen
LMCE send KD03 down the RS232 port

Press 4 on the LMCE Security Keypad screen
LMCE send KD04 down the RS232 port

Press # on the LMCE Security Keypad screen
LMCE send KD0C down the RS232 port

This product is sold worldwide and this would guarantee as LMCE as the product of choice for it !

It is possible, but you should get much deeper into internals.

Basically you should :
1. register DCE event listener
2. catch security house mode changed event (or command) - not sure right now
3. there will be probably pin number included as parameter to 2.
4. then you can read PIN and send it key by key on rs232

So seach for docs on :
- DCE text messages
- GSD device

you can also achieve same by writting external application instead of GSD application.

HTH,

You seem to infer about getting info from the panel back to LMCE ?

For the moment, there's no need for that. Just want to fire off the RS232 commands to the panel - no need for any ACKs.

Lets not run before we can walk :-)

No, communication is one way in that sense. Under 2. I meant to catch security events on LMCE's side...

Why are you making several threads about same problem ?
