Dying to find a dedicated app/code for AD2pi...

That would at the very least integrate with an ISY994i and set state variables or basic one way status packets. I had come across posts on other forums by Sean regarding exactly this project, but I can't find anything to implement. I'd love to so something as simple as tell the ISY994i controller that the system is armed or disarmed. Beyond that, then what zone is faulted. I don't need two way communication, but if that were the next thing I'd want would be a way to arm or disarm the system based on ISY program states, but that's the lowest priority of functionality I'm searching for.

An example would be, I arm the system, and my decoder sends/sets the state variable that the system is armed. From that I can program the ISY to do some action such as make sure all the doors are locked.

Here is a forum thread where people have gotten our device working with the ISY99* http://forum.universal-devices.com/topi ... 99/#p61925

Other than that, if you want to donate an ISY99 we can look into adding official support.

Well, I came across a python API library for the ISY, and got it working. It was surprisingly easy once I got through the cross referencing of different forums, posts, and picking through the API. I have it now where near real time info, via the AD2pi can set either state or integer variables on the ISY, and from there I can write programs on the ISY to respond to the status of the Ademco/Honeywell security panel. Next I'll try and work on communication the other way, but I believe between the two API python libraries (alarmdecoder and PyISY), that shouldn't be too hard to figure out. If anyone is interested I can post the details on getting it working. All this doesn't need anything more than the AD2pi, since the code can run on it 24/7 without any additional dedicated hardware/computers.

As an aside, I also have the same pi also performing DDNS services via AWS's CLI API, so that I can phone home on a domain of my own. Happy to share that too, but it does require that your domain records are managed on AWS via Route53.
