SPC Bridge Generic Lite

SPC Bridge (generic) Lite allows integration of Vanderbilt SPC intrusion system with a third-party system, e.g. a home or building automation system. Using the SPC Bridge you are able to use events from all your SPC connected motion detectors, door/window contacts, smoke detectors and alarm status for automations in the third-party system. SPC Bridge Generic Lite provides the same features and API as the SPC Bridge Generic at a lower price, ideal for DIY users and integration of smaller SPC systems. For professional installations and larger SPC systems, the more powerful SPC Bridge Generic (link) is recommended.

Secure and reliable

All communication between the SPC panel and the Bridge is encrypted and occurs on your local network. No cloud service is involved. Vanderbilt's official protocol FlexC is used. The SPC panel settings determine what can be controlled and monitored.

API test tool

The API test tool is a very useful tool for testing and troubleshooting the Bridge's REST/Websockets API. The tool is also very helpful for integrators who want to learn the API. The tool has three sections:

  • Request. Here, you “build” and send an API request.
  • Reply. Displays the response from the API on a request.
  • Events. Displays real-time events from the API.

REST/Websockets API

The REST API provides access to the SPC panel resources via HTTPs requests. The API uses JSON as its communication format, and the standard HTTP methods GET, for requesting status, and PUT.for sending commands to the SPC panel

The WebSocket interface broadcasts events from the SPC panel to “subscribing” clients in real time. The Bridge is completely transparent and forwards all event types sent from the panel. However, it is configurable in the SPC panel which event types should be reported.

API specification is provided on request

Home Assistant Integration

SPC Bridge Generic Lite is highly suitable for integrating SPC with the home automation system Home Assistant. (Driver coming soon). If you prefer to build your own bridge/gateway for integration with Home Assistant e.g. on a Raspberry Pi, you should instead choose the software module SPC Web Gateway. (link)
