Question How to Connect Security System to App

Hi all,

I have a house here with a Vista 20P system. The house has all the infrastructure set up (panels, contacts, motion sensors and etc.).

It's not actively monitored and that's not really an interest of mine but what I would love to do is set it up in a way that I can get alerts on my phone should someone come/leave/break contacts and etc.

Another bonus would be being able to turn it on/off from my phone.

Any ideas on how to do this?

Thanks.

If that’s one of those old security systems that get monitored, look into Konnected. It’s a small board that you re-wire your old system into. It was the only Kickstarter campaign that I ever backed.

I re-wired my old alarm system into the Konnected board and integrated it with SmartThings. I’ve since moved it to Home Assistant. I can see when doors are opened and when motion is triggered on my phone. I’ve setup some automations like alerts if a door is open too long.

I can also arm and disarm the house using my phone which is great. Even then on the siren remotely if I wanted to.

This is great, actually exactly what I'm looking for. I'm going to reach out to them to see what options I have based off of my set-up, thanks!

So looks like my system is wireless and won't be supported by Konnected. I'm looking into Envisalink now.
