![]() By doing this, the alarm can be interfaced by your smart home app from anywhere without any additional cost. How does it work? Basically, what we're going to do is create a device that transforms a z-wave signal to a simulated button press on the Honeywell keyfob, which in turn either arms or disarms the alarm. ![]() ![]() You'll also need to solder some connections and some small wire. You'll also need to make sure you have an RF receiver on your alarm (typically, alarms are installed with a 6150RF or 6160RF keypad). What will you need? You'll need to buy a GE Outdoor Smart Switch, an Arduino (I'm using a NodeMCU ESP8266), a 5V power brick, and a Honeywell 5834-4 keyfob. You can even control your alarm by saying "Alexa, turn on/off the Alarm" (and you might want to disable this option!) ![]() What does this do? Allows you to arm/disarm your alarm system from anywhere in the world via your smart home app AND allows you to use triggers from your smart home app to arm/disarm your alarm (for example, we have the system arm when the deadbolt is locked). I'm not responsible if you burn your house down. I'm using Wink for this tutorial, but this should work with any smart hub (Smartthings/Iris/etc.) Before we get started, you're going to be making modifications to a product that involves AC Mains (120V+). Hi there! I wanted to give a brief tutorial on how I got my Honeywell Vista alarm system integrated into my smart hub.
