How to Monitor X10 & Insteon Security Devices with Indigo

One major feature of Indigo is it's plugin design. While Indigo v5 is expected to be a great improvement, the current Applescript based design is quite powerful.

The Indigo Security Script extends Indigo's native features, and adds two important features:

• The Ability to Monitor X10 Security Devices
  • X10 Pro Security System Remote (SH624 PSR01)
  • Key Fob - KR10A
  • EagleEye Motion Sensor (Outdoor) - MS14A
  • DS10A Door/Window Sensor
  • X10 Motion Sensor - MS10A
  • X10 Power Horn - PSH02
  • Big Red Emergency Button - KR15A
• The Ability to Monitor Insteon Security Devices
  • Insteon Motion / Occupancy Sensor - 2420M
  • TriggerLinc - 2421
  • Insteon Motion Controlled FloodLight - 2494msbn

The script, after it has been configured, will monitor your security devices. The alerts from the security devices will trigger actions depending on your settings in Indigo.

Please note, the Security Script will be undergoing a large redesign when Indigo v5 is released. This redesign will be revamping the user interface to make it much more user friendly, and will be migrating to a more modular design. Currently the Security script is How-to level of difficulty is Moderate. This means that some light script changes (changing variable or property values, etc), and will almost certainly involve some conditional logic and perhaps multiple items (Triggers, Time/Date Actions, etc.).

Please note, this page is a work in progress, and is not completed. More resources and information on the Security Script is available in the Indigo Forums, and the author is directly available at his web site.
