Happy to assist.
Overall, the SkyPanel is proprietary. The panel itself is not Alarm.com compatible and any wireless RF sensors likely need to be replaced due to their typically proprietary nature.
I say typically because it depends on the model number of the sensor. They are usually proprietary but we have seen cases in the past where non-proprietary 345MHz sensors have been used.
Take a look at this guide here for more information on that panel and re-using it.
What I’m hoping to save is the following, but please let me know if you envision any issues:
-Three door locks (two are Kwikset and one is Yale)
-DSC motion sensor
-Two Ecobee3 Lite thermostats as noted above
-Some of the DSC panel with battery backup (not sure if this is even needed or recommended)
-Both GoControl garage door controllers
Z-Wave devices such as Locks, the Linear Go!Control Garage openers and any lights, switches, etc. can be re-used.
The Ecobee3 Lite thermostats can be used with Alarm.com.
The DSC PowerSeries PC1616 is still in use to provide power to the TAKE-345 wired to wireless takeover module outlined below:
This device is converting all of the wired sensors connected to it into wireless signal. The brick battery provides battery backup. Based on this, I suspect that most, if not all, of your existing security sensors are wired.
Wired sensors can be re-used but a similar takeover module would be needed. The specific device type would be wholely dependent on the alarm panel you switch to.
The Qolsys IQ Panel 4 (IQP4001) sold through Surety has a 319.5MHz radio and a PowerG radio installed for security sensor compatibility. It also works with Z-Wave Plus, has a built in 4G LTE module (Verizon) and Wi-FI.
Any existing wired sensors in use could be re-used with the Qolsys panel but you would need a new takover module. With the IQP4001 you have two options:
- Qolsys brand 319.5Mhz (S-Line encrypted) Hardwired 16F
- DSC brand IQ Hardwired PowerG
Any wireless sensors currently in use would not connect to the IQ Panel 4 IQP4001 and would need to be replaced.
