It works great on my Vista 21IP. My dad is running an old Vista 20. I sent him up the gear and it doesn't appear to be working. I saw on the
supported boards that the Vista 20 (no letters after the 20) wasn't there but the same page also said if you can use a Honeywell 6150/6160 then it should work. Are we hosed? He installed alarms for 30+ years so he was just going to swap his board but I wanted to reach out here and see if anyone had any thoughts before he did that.

Hay sorry for the late reply. It seems I am not getting notifications on posts here lately
Ya any "Vista" series should be no problem except the all in one series I forget the name.
The 21IP series is just the same as the 20P. The board is dramatically different than all prior Vista series but they talk much the same.
If you have the communication module setup then the AD2* will see Contact ID report data and you can also enable Contact ID reporting and emulate it with the AD2* device. This will give you even more fun data to play with like who disarmed/armed and more.
Let me know about your project and I will add it to the wiki here.
I am spending most of my time lately working on the AD2IoT device. This is critical now especially with how hard it is to find a Pi these days. With a simple $7 ESP32 board and the right open source software it can do a lot of cool stuff.make_clickable_callback(MAGIC_URL_FULL, '
