Working like a charm. Great work!
Works very well, and also recommend it over the inbuilt fibaro DSC plugin
Never got the Fibaro DSC plugin working, this one works great.
Hi, does this plugin support 4 partitions ?
Very powerful VD for integrating the DSC alarm into Fibaro HC2 system. Recommend it over the standard Fibaro DSC pluging
