EyezOn Envisalink EVL-4EZR IP Security Interface Module for DSC and Honeywell (Ademco) Security Systems, Compatible with Alexa

Good

Brought my 13 year old DSC wired alarm into the age of connectivity! One tip, if you cant find your mobile phone provider in the list when setting up SMS/text alarm forwarding, check if your provider offers e-mail to text/SMS functionality. Then you can set up the forwarding to your phone as an extra e-mail receiver ([email protected])

Works great

The device itself works fine, the app/software is not really that impressive. I was able to use it to integrate with smartthings hub via raspberry pi alarm server.

Met all expectations, was easy to install and works perfectly.

Mounted in my Honeywell VISTA 15P alarm panel. Does exactly what is says it will do and was recognized by my VeraPlus Home Controller quickly. Still trying to figure out how to set it up for Remote Arming, but it works as described and was very easy to install, assuming you have a CAT5 cable run to your alarm panel and can route it back to your internet router. Luckily my home control panel with all my wiring was in the same closet as the alarm panel so it was easy to run the CAT5 link from the EVL-4 to my router located in my living room, far away. One upgrade that would make sensor for this would be to add a WIFI antenna that can extend outside the alarm panel and then allow the EVL-4 to connect to the internet via WIFI, saving lots of folks the problem of not having easy routing of a CAT5 cable.

I am pleased with this product.

Install was moderately difficult due to programming the Honeywell Vista 20P. The device communicates with the central server provided by seller but fails to send alert emails and text messages. It does show status at central server and I can arm or disarm the system remotely, just would be nice if I could get the alert feature working. If I ever get it figured out, I may change my rating.

Works nice. Can name zones

Only issue I had was that I was directed on line to fine the install instructions and initially found an outdated version which only partially worked. I did find the updated instructions and all is well. I have not attempted to setup texting or a camera yet but have plans to do so. Awesome product!!!
