I have a Honeywell LynxR-en security control panel with wireless sensors. Xfinity came to my house and wanted me to sign up for their XH security system. They said they could use my existing hardware and I would not need to add anything. I've done research and have not really found a clear answer on how this would be accomplished but obviously it can. I think this may be sort of off topic but it would be nice to know how I could take what is already setup in my house and integrate it into home automation. I no longer subscribe to ADT monitoring service. I don't need that. But I would love to be able to have sensor info in my HA setup and be able to setup alerts and such like if the front door was opened during a specific time range (when it should not be). Again probably off topic but if anyone wants to point me in a direction as to how I can take advantage of the existing sensors in my house and tie them into a HA setup that would be really cool. Thanks, AJ.

What protocol are the wireless sensors? Honeywell's?

Aaron Johnson wrote: Good question. I found a spec sheet and it spoke of the frequencies used by not necessarily the protocol. I can keep digging. All I know is they support the Honeywell 5800 wireless sensors. I found this: http://www.security.honeywell.com/hsc/products/intruder-detection-systems/wireless/zbridge/309409.html
I do know that XH said 'no problem, we add on something to gain control'. So I am assuming something along these lines. It looks like these are Z-Wave so the broad answer is yes. The narrow answer is not all Z-Wave sensors are created equal, as Z-Wave is the rare protocol that allows manufacturers to create their own device properties. The short answer is: we won't know until we try it unfortunately. In theory, you can use it with the Aeon Z-Stick that we recommend.

+1 for this. However I'm not sure how open Sesame are to other developers. They have an open source API as one of their stretch goals, but not sure this will be reached. They also don't really want to integrate with services like IFTTT or any smart hub really.

We definitely want to support the Sesame lock! Right now they do not have a published API, so until they do, we can make no guarantees...
Edit: We do support many other smart locks from various brands currently, and we're open to all comers! edited by ccicchitelli on 4/2/2015

Does the CastleOS support for Total Connect also include Honeywell's WiFi Thermostats?

If it's in the Total Connect system, it will work (TC spans multiple protocols on the latest thermostats, but not all of the older thermostats). What is the current status of linking with the Honeywell TC? I just downloaded the latest package from the site and cannot find any documentation on this. 1.3.1967, released on 8/23/2015

Hey Robert, unfortunately it's not in there yet. The new API will be coming out soon, and then we'll be releasing new protocols like Honeywell TC.
Thanks!

Plus one to add these. Global Cache IR bridges (iTach flex, etc).
