Envisalink Controller - DSC

@toggledbits,
I have this device attached to my system, but use a DSC panel. If you need testers to move forward, I'm happy to help.I'm curious what your thinking the use case is for this. I currently have it integrated into HomeAssistant, and it works fine for the most part. The one thing I can't do is bypass zones, which I would like to have the ability to do.
Are you looking at more direct control for the panel, as opposed to having to jump through HA (or another system) first?

Pretty much. I've been burned too many times by their breaking changes and shifting priorities. Even today in my own environment, HA entities come and go for inexplicable reasons. Working closer to the bare metal gives me more choices and more control over stability.

@toggledbits, thanks, that's what I was thinking, and yeah, I've been burned a time or two by HA changing things around. Just this past week I got a notice about OpenWeatherMap's API changing. Not really their fault, but you have to keep on top of this stuff
