Hi all - I'm a long time user/reader but first time poster. I have had insteon and Indigo home automation for years and now I'm trying to use the system as a home grown alarm system. I'm sick of the contracts for traditional alarm systems and the monthly payments to add rudimentary mobile features and stick-on monitors when my house is already hard wired have driven me to this.
What I want to do is to sense the opening of hard wired alarm zone sensors and send them to Indigo either via Insteon or Z-Wave, or others that are compatible. I have found exactly what I want however it is a proprietary Z-Wave solution for 2Gig alarm systems and is known as a takeover module:

I can do something similar with Insteon I/O Link but they only have 1 input sensor per device. Maybe I've missed something but are there other off the shelf solutions for this?
Thanks,
Stan
