Let me start by apologizing for not scouring Google for more information, and for posting what might possibly be off-topic to the list. Monday morning, I am to have a meeting with some decision makers about the current state of my organization's alarm system. My knowledge of these systems is somewhat limited, in that I work on the network. The only reason I have anything to do with this is because, at least one of, our current system types (Honeywell I9000) talk on our network. I want to be able to go into my meeting on Monday morning and present options, preferably as open and non-proprietary as possible. I have heard that there is a open source project to do pretty much what I want, but I have not been able to find it. So as to get the discussion started, I will offer a bit of background about the organization. It is a high school district with fourteen sites, ten of which are comprehensive high schools with numerous buildings. The sites currently have either the Honeywell I9000 system, or another system from Honeywell with which I am even less familiar. Is anyone aware of something similar to Nagios that's able to talk to various alarm systems, and send emails (SMS messages) when certain conditions exist? Would anyone have any suggestions on a new alarm system that might be more open, and less vendor specific? I'm very sorry to be throwing this out like I am, but I want to have some ideas to bounce around on Monday. Thank you all, in advance, for any advice you can offer. -Erik --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
