Apex-Ademco-Honeywell D6100 Alarm interface

lafleur last edited by lafleur
This is a MySensor program to control, interface with an APEX Destiny 6100(AN) Alarm panel. This is an older alarm panel, but its capability exceed what can be found on current Honeywell-Ademco panels.

Apex was bought by Ademco who was bought by Honeywell. Its is NOT compatible with current Honeywell-Ademco panels, but has the framework to be adapted.

My system has 63 active zones, most are using wireless Ademco-5800 series sensors

It read's and parses serial data from the alarm and format them into MySensor messages.

This is running on a MoteinoMEGA, and connect to the D6100 via a TTL serial interface
Radio is 915MHz RFM69HW
Tested with MySensor 2.0.0 beta
Tested with D6100 firmware 8.07

@NotYetRated Hope you'll find good uses and a fun time while building your sensors.

@Kokosnoot good solution. I remember the discussion in the early days of MySensors. I've powered the radio's for most of my sensors from the 3.3v regulator on the arduino board and for me that works perfect. But for my latest designs I decided to add a separate ams regulator for my radio's like the guys suggested in the beginning. Because you basically want the on board regulator to power the mcu only.

@OldSurferDude yes, you are correct. this sensor is capable of 50A continuous, which safely I would make it working at 40A max., but for such an important load as in your case I would go for a beefier one, like the ACS75x, 77x, but at this point I would also change the node's form factor for space and insulation reasons. On my application on the RV I have a max. curr. of 13A running on a AWG14-16 cable (European rules for RVs), so I did not ask myself too many questions beside, of course, safety. About the signal, it will be a sinusoidal signal swinging around Vcc/2. Vcc can be easily measured internally on the ATmega328. On all my DC sensors I measure Vcc at every loop, just before measuring the ADCs. Honestly, when the space is not an issue like in my RV, I would rather use a ring core current transformer, and I would get rid of noise, response time, power dissipation, but over all no need to cut any cable. Long story short, it has been a nice experiment and I used it for 6 months, and then I switched back to my RF-NANO based RS485-Modbus - Mysensors bridge connected to an off-the shelf power analyzer. Just for fun I attach a pic of my 12Vdc sensors installed on my RV. Forgive me for the spaghetti wiring on the right side, but this is an area that needs improvement.
