Okay, i'll attempy yo be brief. I currently have a DSC Power 832 with EscortTC module, DSC thermostat control, 5500Z LCD keypad, and 5132 wireless module. The contacts and motion sensors are a combination of wired and wireless. it works perfectly! But, I am never satisfied. I am looking for a system that is wired and wireless, can be armed/disarmed/thermostatically controlled globally via phone AND via internet, as well as controlled from any phone/computer within the home. It needs to call my cell phone as well as the monitoring station (as it does now). A touchscreen keypad with built in thermostatic control would be nice, but not a deal breaker. The brand is not important, but it must be a reputable company. Suggestions?

DSC 1832, use the current ESCORT™ and thermostats as well as the wireless 5132
add their touchscreens as needed.
what happens when the 832 calls your cellular??- i only know of the paging feature on this panel.

1) I already have everything you mentioned, except that I am using the 832 in lieu of the 1832. Their touchscreen does not control the thermostat. Also, i cannot access the alarm/thermostatic control via the 'net.
2) When it calls my cell, it leaves a two digit code text message telling me what zone was violated or what code was used to disarm the system. I am utilizing the pager feature for this.

They are add-ons to basic DSC power series panels.
