Watch out don't buy this interface on "Marktplaats"
<s>It look's the same but it's a device to put 8 wireless group's tot a Alphatronics wired alarm and there is no support for Keyfobs!!!!! </s>
It's a very old version, i hope that it will work with the hs interface.

Ruud,
My interface can also connect some wireless devices but is an option we don't use.
We connect by rs232, the device has more functions though.
Can you post an image og the print
and is the article number in de manual 004318

Well I think it's the same device but a very old version!
Did you try the RS232 connector, or was there no RS232 Cable included.
Try to run Roberts plugin if possible.
Or better try to send it back and order a new version at www.waakzaamwonen.nl

Dus anybody now what the pinout is on the rs232 connector?
I'm looking for pin 1

You need a cable like this:

This one was used between motherboard COM connection and bracket. I found one in a box with all kinds of old stuff i kept. I don't know the pinout, cause it worked instantly with this cable, so i didn't look any further.

@robert
I have the same, but there are to ways to put it in the connector.
There is no sign on the interface and no notch on the cable ;-(
If you can give me the positioning of the redlead against the gap in the connector.

Great News.
I am beta-testing the Hs-plug-in for this interface and it looked promising.
The first release was a little buggy, after a fix from digit it's steady now .But very beta!!!!!!!!
There is enough work to do and i have a lot of wishes.
@ Pieter maybe its time to open a new Stickey topic in the homeseer Plugin section. (bugs/wishes)

So i ordered one of those since i would like my keyfobs to be working from outside the house

Now i got this one:

Logically i would believe that i have to insert the cable for the rs232, but is it correct that the power needs to come from usb? Is the reception so good i can place this thing wherever i want, because i wanted to place it in the midlle of the house for the best reception of everything. Otherwise i have to get power/usb in there too..
