BadMagic Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I have a NX-8E security panel that I am trying to integrate into Control4 (OS3) and am not well versed enough in the home security realm to understand how this is accomplished. I have read other threads and looked at manuals but I am still not entirely sure what Im looking for. Could someone please shed some light on the following in lay mans terms? 1. How is the panel physically connected to the control4 EA3 ? I have an unused Cat5e wire running between the security panel and the EA3 controller. I have an NX587E provided by the security company that I have no idea how to install on the security panel or my EA3 module. There is also a 10-pin RS232 (J11 ?) connector on the main board of the NX8E.. is this used at all? 2. What driver do I use? I see the GE NetworX NX587e driver is now OBSOLETE in OS3... is there an alternative? Ive downloaded a NX584 driver and it says in the documentation that it can connect with a NX8E panel as well, Im not sure how tho. 3. Having no experience programming a security system do I need to involve someone from the security company for this install? The security system is current working 100% properly independent of Control4. Any help is appreciated and the more specific you can be, the better.
