rf5000 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Guys,I have a quick questions. My C4 system involves an Ademco Honeywell Vista 20p security system. Also, I'm using Speakercraft amps via the extra vegetables driver to amplify my speakers. The Speakercraft amps communicate via rs-232 cable. The module I bought so that my Vista 20p security system also communicates with C4 using a rs-232 cable. Will this be a problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 No, it should work well. I use the Vista 20p with the BCM using a serial to headphone jack cable. Headphone jack into C4 and the other end cut off and terminal connected right into the BCM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msgreenf Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 you want to get a Control4 Serial cable and use that. Cut off the serial end and follow the pinout for the BCM. THe other end of the C4 Serial cable is a headphone jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdvr Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 are you assuming he has an hc200 or hc250? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rf5000 Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 But the HC 800 has two db9 serial inputs, so would this not work just using two regular serial cables. Also, this may sound stupid, but I also have an hc300c. How do these connect to each other? Entirely through the network, o do the physically connect?

No physical connection with the 300. It's all on the network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
