Plan is to use a few of those very cheap Android 7 inch screens that can be found for 40-50 euro and use HStouch to make a much more friendly interface.
One reason is that my guests are always puzzled with the buttons on the Powermax, if the alarm goes off, it is very hard to detect what the reason is etc. clumsy programming and interfacing.
RFXCOM is mature and stable and has all options I want.
But I run into a few issues with HS3 and RFXCOM:
I would prefer to have an overview page on the screen at the front door. It shows the current alarm status and the option to disarm.
First I made the intro screen with a disarm button going to the next passcode protected screen. On opening the next screen it would "Disarm"
Unfortunately I found this working very crappy. Typing the wrong code brought me in between screens, hanging there until I did a reset of HStouch. Entering the right code was also not always bringing me.
RFXCOM provides a PINcode system but there the feedback is a bit sparse. I could make a keyboard and a disarm button that worked but it felt a but more sluggish because of the access via HStouch. When you set a pincode it sticks there for every disarm button and I don't need that when I disarm at the screen next to my bed.

I am aware that I need more testing and for sure I thing there are some ways to get around little issues but I am curious if other use this method and what methods has been used.
Questions for Bert:
Is it possible to set the PINcode on the fly. Eg. use a button press on HStouch to set the code on and off with an event or direct command?
Is it possible to display some sort of feedback from the pincode screen, showing the dots if they are entered?
