works well

The Envisalink 4 Max is an excellent and cost-effective way to transform your traditional security system into a smart one, offering functionality at a fraction of the price of other solutions. The best part? It works seamlessly with your existing setup, requiring minimal changes. Simply connect the wires, register the board, and fire it up. The panel configuration is straightforward and can be completed in just a few minutes. My Experience with the Envisalink 4 Max: I installed the Envisalink on my Safewatch Pro 3000 (essentially a Honeywell Vista20). The board arrived quickly, and the installation process was intuitive. However, I encountered some hiccups along the way. Initially, the board didn’t power on after wiring. I had to troubleshoot and try several times before it finally came online. Once it powered up, it started a firmware upgrade (since it ships with DSC firmware by default). The upgrade process was smooth but took a few minutes to complete. Unfortunately, after the upgrade, I faced an issue where all four LEDs on the board blinked repeatedly, and the link LED turned off. Despite attempts to reset the board, it seemed to be stuck in a constant reboot. Technical support confirmed the board was defective, so I had to return it and get a replacement. The replacement board worked flawlessly. After installation, I realized my keypads were set to addresses 17 and 18, conflicting with Envisalink's default address of 18. This caused issues such as motion sensor activities not logging on the Eyezon app and the inability to arm/disarm the system using the app. Changing the Envisalink address to 19 and updating the panel configuration resolved these issues entirely. Final Thoughts: Despite some initial challenges, the Envisalink 4 Max is a fantastic product. Once properly set up, it adds modern capabilities to legacy systems, such as remote control and monitoring through the Eyezon app. If you're looking to smarten up your old security system without breaking the bank, the Envisalink 4 Max is a reliable choice. Just ensure all keypads and system addresses are correctly configured to avoid any conflicts.

After yet another price increase with ADT, and yet another cell communicator being obsoleted (in just a 3 year period), plus not having control over my sensors or being able to add any new sensors myself without having an ADT technician do it for me, I got fed up with ADT and decided to look for alternatives. Having read all the positive reviews about Envisalink and particular with its integration with Home Assistant, I decided to cut ties with ADT, reconfigure my Vista systems by swaping out a 15P with a 20P and added a zone expander so that I can monitor all rooms as separate zones (rather than having all my doors lumped into one zone and three bedrooms lumped into another zone... thanks ADT, that's REAL helpful), and installed the Envisalink 4 as well as the Sidekick LTE backup communicator. Installation went smoothly and there are plenty of reviews here and good instructions from EyezOn that give the lowdown how to do it all. Got connected to EyezOn's website with no issues and it even picked up my Sidekick even before I started a subscription for it, so it's nice knowing that it's getting a strong signal and connecting successfully. The integration with Home Assistant works great too. Although currently the integration is done by old-fashioned yaml configuration only and not UI yet (as of the 2021.6.1 version), it's pretty simple to setup and now I get near instantaneous sensor status and arming/disarming locally over my LAN. A couple of caveats I ran into: I had a spare Vista 20P board sitting around. When ADT upgraded me to Pulse a few years ago, rather than swapping my current Vista 15P out for the 20P (and getting me two extra zones), the technician just swapped the chip out into the 15P to give it Pulse support and handed me the 20P and say "here, this is yours to do whatever you want". So I saved it as a backup. When it came time to switch to Envisalink, I dusted off the board and put it in my panel. Since it had no chip, I bought one labeled with version 10.23 off of eBay (newer is better, right? WRONG!). Turns out that the latest 10.XX for ADT are meant to support their latest generation of communicators and break compatibility with older and third-party communicators. I kept getting "103" error messages and "Incompatible Communicator" messages on my 6160 keypad display. After e-mailing EyezOn support, they told me the bad news that the 10.XX versions are not compatible with their communicators. I swapped the chip out of my old Vista 15P board with version 9.12 into the 20P, and it fixed my communication issues! So be sure to use a chip with version 9.XX or below. Second issue was with my VLAN setup. I have a pfSense router and segment my network into multiple VLANS. Security systems and cameras get their own VLAN on my network. Turns out that you can't connect to the Envisalink from another VLAN if the password is set to the default "user". So you'll need to either start out with your computer/laptop/cell (whatever you're connecting to the local Envasalink webserver with) on the same VLAN first, change the password to something else (6 digits is the limit for the Envisalink 4 I believe), then put it on it's separate VLAN. This goes for both accessing the local web server as well as for the Home Assistant integration. To get Home Assistant to access it from another VLAN, I simply add a firewall rule to allow the HASS server IP to access the Envisalink IP on port 4025. Hope that helps for those who run into these same issues. Everything works great for me now. It's nice to have professional UL rated monitoring for a fraction of the cost of ADT plus have better local Home Assistant integration, and have total control over maintaining my own security system myself.
