Hi,
I wonder if anyone can help me...?!
I’ve had the pleasure of using A DA Abacus alarm with 2 remote keypads for many a happy year with no problems at all!
Ideally, I want to carry on using this rock solid piece of kit, but I would now like the ability to be able to access the status and control the panel remotely (via the internet).
As it stands, I don’t think this is possible? But, if I could interface to the expansion bus that the keypads are on, then I should be able to do with, for example, an internet connected raspberry pi that I can do with a keypad.
Does anyone have any info on the comms used to/from the keypads and the protocols used?
Or, worse (more expensive case) could anyone recommend a new alarm panel that I could retrofit in the Abacus position, using the existing sensors and cables etc but one that is connected to the internet? Any ideally that will still be able to use the existing keypads?? Asking a lot I know!
Thanks in anticipation.
Paul
