As you say, most people here use the on-board serial port of the NX-8e, or use the NX-584 with a plain NX-8 or NX-4. I am an engineer and do not remember things like “what newton did to prove the law of gravity” making very difficult to do something simple, post to a forum. Oh, and btw, these verification questions are really bad. Thanks in advance for anyone’s assistance. If anyone has any idea as to whether I can use this module for my existing system and have it communicate with vera, please let me know. Obviously that is a lot more work than simply connecting a module to my existing system so I want to go the route that makes most sense. If I need to keep the nx-584e and upgrade my panel to an nx8-v2 I can do that.

While I feel comfortable hooking up a module and following the instructions on how to program it, since I haven’t read any information that indicates that this module is supported by the vera plugin, I don’t want to buy it to find out it isn’t going to work. I am happy to learn what is needed to do this but at this point I don’t have a lot of understanding of how my alarm system works.

I have never muddled in this stuff and while I program for a living, I am still in an area I am not completely familiar with. I was curious if anyone has tried using the NX-586e with any of the NX alarm systems. It appears most folks are using the NX-8 with this module although the documentation indicates with works with the entire family of nx alarm panels.

There are many others on this forum with my issue and no resolution. He suggested that I try the NX-586e instead.

At first interlogix claimed the board needed replacement but after replacement the tech I spoke with indicated there may be issues with this working on the nx-6v2 depending on the firmware. Remove the module and I can program correctly without issue. Interlogix claims it supports my panel but I have bought two cards and when I try to program it after connecting the card, my system will not accept the programming code. I purchased an NX584e based on the documentation on this site.
