With the installation of the IT-100 integration module by DSC, PowerSeries control panels are able to interface with leading manufacturers of home and building automation products and audio distribution systems to create seamless, fully integrated control solutions. The modules feature a bi-directional RS-232 interface that accepts commands and sends event-driven or state-change commands to third-party applications to create shared functionality. For example, once a security system is disarmed upon entry, the IT-100 can send a command to an HVAC system to automatically raise the thermostat or send a command to a home automation system to turn on the lights.
