Honeywell Home PROTAKEOVER Posts

Z-Wave has come a long way since its introduction in the early 2000s. From the original standard to Z-Wave Plus and Z-Wave Plus V2, each generation brings meaningful improvements to range, battery life, and performance. Now, Z-Wave 800-Series represents the most significant leap forward yet.

The Evolution of Z-Wave

To understand what makes the 800-Series special, it helps to look at how Z-Wave has evolved over the years.

The original Z-Wave protocol established the foundation for mesh networking in home automation, allowing devices to communicate with each other and extend the network's reach. Z-Wave Plus (500-Series) arrived around 2013 and brought improvements including 50% better range, 250% longer battery life, and faster processing speeds compared to the original standard.

Z-Wave Plus V2 (700-Series), released in 2018, pushed the boundaries further with additional range improvements, enhanced security through S2 encryption, and SmartStart functionality that simplified device pairing. The 700-Series became the go-to choice for premium smart home devices and earned a reputation for reliability and efficiency.

What Makes Z-Wave 800-Series Different

The Z-Wave 800-Series, built on Silicon Labs' latest chipset technology, takes everything that worked well in previous generations and improves upon it significantly. Here's what sets it apart:

Extended Range

The 800-Series delivers up to 1.5 miles of range in open air with Z-Wave Long Range (ZWLR) mode. While real-world performance in homes will vary based on walls, interference, and building materials, this represents a massive improvement over previous generations. For large homes, outbuildings, or properties with detached garages, this extended range can eliminate the need for additional repeaters.

Faster Communication

With improved RF performance and optimized protocols, 800-Series devices communicate more efficiently. Commands execute faster, and the mesh network responds more quickly to changes. This translates to snappier control when you're turning on lights, locking doors, or adjusting thermostats.

Better Battery Life

Battery-powered devices like door sensors, motion detectors, and smart locks benefit from the 800-Series' improved power efficiency. Manufacturers report battery life improvements that can extend the time between battery changes by months or even years in some applications.

Enhanced Security

Building on the S2 security framework introduced with Z-Wave Plus V2, the 800-Series includes hardware-level security features that make it even more resistant to tampering and unauthorized access. All Z-Wave 800 devices support S2 authentication out of the box, ensuring encrypted communication throughout your smart home network.

Backward Compatibility

One of Z-Wave's greatest strengths has always been backward compatibility, and the 800-Series continues this tradition. Your existing Z-Wave and Z-Wave Plus devices will work with 800-Series controllers and hubs. This means you can upgrade your system gradually without replacing every device at once.

Z-Wave Long Range Support

Perhaps the most exciting addition is native support for Z-Wave Long Range (ZWLR). This new mode allows point-to-point communication over much greater distances than traditional mesh networking. While standard Z-Wave mesh mode remains available for dense installations, ZWLR opens new possibilities for properties where devices are spread across larger areas.

Security Panels That Support Advanced Z-Wave Features

If you're looking to build a smart home system around a modern security panel, several options from Alarm Grid support Z-Wave for home automation control. These panels integrate security monitoring with Z-Wave device management, allowing you to control locks, lights, thermostats, and other smart devices from a single interface.

IQ Panel 4

The IQ Panel 4 represents IQ's (formerly Qolsys) latest generation of touchscreen security panels. It features built-in Z-Wave support for home automation along with PowerG sensor compatibility for long-range wireless security. The panel's 7" HD touchscreen makes it easy to manage both security and smart home functions from one central location. The IQ Panel 4 must be on version 4.4.0+ to support Z-Wave Long Range.

The IQ Panel 4 is available in multiple configurations:

• IQ Panel 4 AT&T LTE with PowerG/345 MHz
• IQ Panel 4 Verizon LTE with PowerG/345 MHz
• IQ Panel 4 AT&T LTE with PowerG/433 MHz
• IQ Panel 4 Verizon LTE with PowerG/433 MHz
  IQ Panel 4 AT&T LTE with PowerG/319.5 MHz
  IQ Panel 4 Verizon LTE with PowerG/319.5 MHz

2GIG Edge

The 2GIG Edge is a sleek, modern security panel that combines a compact design with powerful features. It includes Z-Wave support for home automation devices and offers advanced capabilities like facial recognition for touchless disarming. In order to support Z-Wave Long Range, the panel must be on firmware version 3.1.3.011+.

Available versions include:

• 2GIG Edge AT&T LTE
• 2GIG Edge Verizon LTE

Honeywell Home ProSeries PROA7PLUS

The First Alert PROA7 and PROA7PLUS are professional-grade security panels with optional Z-Wave support. Out of the box, they support ProSeries encrypted wireless sensors. With the addition of a PROTAKEOVER module, they can also support many legacy wireless sensors, and when you install the PROWIFIZW module, the system adds WIFI connectivity and support for Z-Wave home automation devices. When paired with Total Connect 2.0, you can arm, disarm, and control compatible devices remotely through the app.

At this time, the PROWIFIZW does not take full advantage of everything Z-Wave 800-Series offers, including Z-Wave Long Range. Thanks to Z-Wave’s backward compatibility, 800-Series devices will still work, but they’ll behave more like 700-Series devices when used with this controller. You still get solid Z-Wave performance today, and if Resideo updates the platform in the future, these newer devices should be well-positioned to benefit.

Options include:

• First Alert PROA7PLUS
• First Alert PROA7
• PROLTE-A2 - AT&T LTE Communicator
• PROLTE-V2 - Verizon LTE Communicator
• PROTAKEOVER Module
• PROWIFIZW WIFI & Z-Wave Module

2GIG GC Touch

The 2GIG GC Touch is another excellent option that combines security and smart home control. With its 7" high-resolution display and Z-Wave gateway functionality, the GC Touch provides a comprehensive solution that includes home security, home automation, energy management, and emergency monitoring.

Available in:

• 2GIG GC Touch AT&T LTE
• 2GIG GC Touch Verizon LTE

Compatible Z-Wave Devices

When building out your Z-Wave network, you'll find a wide variety of compatible devices available. Popular categories include:

Smart Locks – Z-Wave deadbolts and lever locks from manufacturers like Yale, Schlage, and Kwikset allow you to lock and unlock doors remotely, create temporary access codes, and receive notifications when doors are locked or unlocked.

Smart Lighting – In-wall switches, dimmers, and plug-in modules let you control lighting throughout your home. Many users create scenes that turn on lights when the system disarms or turn off all lights when arming at night.

Thermostats – Z-Wave thermostats like the Honeywell T6 Pro integrate with your security system to provide energy savings. You can automatically adjust temperatures based on whether the system is armed or disarmed.

Garage Door Controllers – Z-Wave garage door controllers let you open, close, and monitor your garage door status from anywhere. Get alerts if the garage door is left open or automatically close it when arming your system.

Water Valves – Smart water valves can automatically shut off your main water supply if a leak is detected, helping prevent costly water damage. This is a perfect example of how automation, working in conjunction with an alarm system, can save you money and prevent messy cleanup.

Making the Switch to Z-Wave 800

If you're starting fresh with a new smart home installation, choosing Z-Wave 800-Series devices whenever possible makes sense. You'll get the best performance, longest battery life, and most advanced security features available.

For those with existing Z-Wave networks, there's no need to rush out and replace everything. Backward compatibility means your current devices will continue to work as you gradually add 800-Series products. Over time, as you replace older devices, your network will naturally evolve to take advantage of the latest technology.

When shopping for Z-Wave devices, look for the Z-Wave 800 or "800-Series" designation on product packaging and specifications. As more manufacturers release 800-Series products, the selection continues to grow across all device categories.

We are thrilled to announce that new Alarm Grid System Kits featuring the Honeywell Home PROA7PLUS System are now available! We have twelve (12) kits in total, split into four (4) main categories, with options available for users in most situations. They're ready for your home or business!

UPDATE:

As of Firmware Version 3.591.92.0, the Honeywell Home PRO Series panels all support local programming through the keypad. You can read full details about this exciting firmware update here.

If you aren't familiar with the PROA7PLUS, then we strongly recommend reviewing this introduction post and buying guide, as it will really help you get acquainted with the latest Resideo Security System. For this post, we mainly want to focus on the new kits, so that is what we will do.

Potential buyers should keep in mind that the PROA7PLUS does NOT support local end user programming at this time, though we have received word from Resideo that the feature is coming. And while we do not have a firm answer on Apple HomeKit compatibility, we suspect that HomeKit support will be coming later down the pipeline. Remember that the Honeywell Lyric and its system kits DO support local end user programming and Apple HomeKit, so that can be a really good alternative if you don't want to wait for Resideo to get their system ready.

With that out of the way, here are the kits! Like we said earlier, there are four (4) distinct categories, with three (3) system kit options in each category. Basically, in each category, you are choosing an IP-only option OR a dual-path IP & LTE cellular option with either AT&T OR Verizon. Find the category that makes the most sense for you, and then choose - IP-only, Dual-Path AT&T & IP, or Dual-Path Verizon & IP.

Remember that if you go dual-path, you will need a monitoring plan with cellular connectivity, such as an Alarm Grid Gold or Platinum Level Plan (Self or Full). We always recommend the use of cellular backup, as it is the only way to keep your system connected for monitoring service in the event of an internet outage. But whether you ultimately go with IP-only or dual-path is up to you. As a reference, the cellular communicator options for the PROA7PLUS are the PROLTE-A (AT&T LTE) and the PROLTE-V (Verizon LTE). And make sure that your monitoring plan includes access to Total Connect 2.0 if you want to control the PROA7PLUS System remotely from your phone or a web browser!

The first category we have is our 3-1 PROA7PLUS Kits. These include the PROA7PLUS System, three (3) PROSIXMINI3 Door and Window Sensors, one (1) PROSIXPIR Motion Sensor, and a Honeywell LT-Cable. These are great for smaller homes and apartments where only a few sensors are needed.

• Honeywell Home PROA7PLUS031 - PROA7PLUS Encrypted 3-1 Base Kit: System, 3 D/W Contacts, 1 Motion, LT-Cable

Like always, if you have any questions about compatibility, or if you are interested in signing-up for new monitoring service, then please email us at support@alarmgrid.com. We are here to help you from 9am to 8pm ET M-F. We look forward to hearing from you and helping you get started with your new PROA7PLUS Alarm Panel!

Alarm Grid is proud to announce that the next generation Honeywell Home PROA7PLUS Security System is available for purchase on our site. Today, we're going to explore this new system and find out whether or not its worth buying. Let's take a deep dive into the Honeywell Home PROA7PLUS!

We will cut right to the chase. The Honeywell Home PROA7PLUS from Resideo has been available on our site for a couple of months now. However, we have been hesitant to promote it due to one glaring factor. The system lacks support for local end user programming. This means that the system can only be programmed and configured by your monitoring provider. You will need to contact Alarm Grid, or whomever you are using for monitoring service, whenever you want to make changes to the system programming settings. You won't be able to enter programming locally and conveniently make adjustments to the majority of system settings and configurations. This goes against our primary principle as a DIY monitoring provider, and it is such a big concern that we have been reluctant to announce it.

Now, the news isn't all bad. Other than its lack of local programming, the PROA7PLUS is a very nice alarm panel. it's sleek, crisp, and it looks great mounted on a wall. The system turns heads with its gorgeous 7-inch full-color display screen that offers easy and convenient touchscreen control. And it wouldn't be complete without the panel's powerful features, which we will certainly be discussing later in this post. Plus, we have received a promise from Resideo that local programming support for the PROA7PLUS will be made available in a future update, which is expected to be made available sometime in the first half of 2021. For now, you are certainly welcome to purchase the Honeywell Home PROA7PLUS from us, and we are happy to monitor the system and help you with setting it up and configuring it to your liking. But for the time being, it is not one of our top security system picks. If you want to learn more about some systems that we currently recommend purchasing instead of the PROA7PLUS, then please check out our 2020 Holiday Buying Guide for Alarm Panels, which includes the Honeywell Lyric, also from Resideo.

With that out of the way, we can begin focusing on the positive aspects of the Honeywell Home PROA7PLUS. And there really is a lot to discuss in that regard. The system supports up to 127 zones out of the box, and it can support up to 250 with the proper add-on, which we'll cover later. There are also 32 key fob slots. The main sensors you'll be using with the PROA7PLUS are the Honeywell Home PROSIX Series Sensors. These state-of-the art sensors are built exclusively for use with the PROA7PLUS. They utilize top-of-the-line 128-bit AES encryption, and they boast a wireless range of more then 300 nominal feet. You can also use the Honeywell SiX Series Sensors, which were originally built for use with the Lyric, with the PROA7PLUS. But be warned, once you pair an original SiX Series Sensor with a PROA7PLUS, it will receive an update and then you will never be able to use it with a Lyric System again.

For this buying guide, we'll primarily be focusing on the PROSIX Sensors built exclusively for the PROA7PLUS. Let's check out the PROSIX Series Sensors.

Provides a coverage area of 39 by 54 feet with a 90° viewing angle. Offers pet immunity for small animals under 80 lbs.

But the PROSIX Sensors and classic SiX Series Sensors are not your only sensor options for the Honeywell Home PROA7PLUS. If you add a Honeywell Home PROTAKEOVER Module to the system, then your PROA7PLUS will be able to interface with wireless sensors from one (1) of five (5) selectable legacy sensor frequencies. The PROTAKEOVER Module has a dial that allows you to choose which one (1) legacy frequency you want to use. Your options include Honeywell 5800 Sensors, 2GIG 345 MHz Sensors, legacy DSC 433 MHz Sensors, legacy Qolsys & Interlogix/GE 319.5 MHz Sensors, and Bosch 433 MHz Sensors. In addition, this module is what allows the PROA7PLUS to support 250 zones. Of these maximum 250 zones, 127 are for use with PROSIX and classic SiX Series Sensors, and the other 123 are for the legacy sensors you can add after installing the PROTAKEOVER Module. One limitation of the PROTAKEOVER Module is that it should NOT be used to interface life-safety sensors like smoke detectors and CO detectors with the PROA7PLUS System.

There is one other important note about using the Honeywell Home PROTAKEOVER Module with the PROA7PLUS. Once you install the PROTAKEOVER inside the system, you will NOT be able to use the current Honeywell Home PROA7DM Desk Mount with the system. The PROA7DM is an accessory that allows you to conveniently rest the system upright on a table or desk, instead of hard-mounting it to a wall. In other words, you must choose between the PROTAKEOVER Module and the PROA7DM Desk Mount. Fortunately, you will still be able to mount the PROA7PLUS System on the wall like normal when using the PROTAKEOVER Module. The reason for this is that the PROTAKEOVER module comes with a replacement wall mounting plate which contains the antenna used for the legacy wireless devices. The PROA7DM also comes with a replacement mounting plate, but it does. not have the required antenna built-in. Resideo says that a new version of the PROA7DM Desk Mount will eventually be released that will allow you to use it with the PROTAKEOVER Module. Unfortunately, we do not have an estimated release date for the updated PROA7DM at this time.

One other option for adding sensors to the Honeywell PROA7PLUS Alarm System is to use a wired to wireless converter. This type of device will allow you to pair hardwired sensors with the system that otherwise wouldn't be able to interface. The way that this works is by having the wired sensors wire-in directly with the converter unit. The converter then sends a wireless signal to the alarm panel on behalf of the wired sensors. As far as the PROA7PLUS is concerned, it will just see the wired sensors as wireless devices and allow them to pair with wireless system zones. Resideo offers a special wired to wireless converter exclusively for the PROA7PLUS called the Honeywell Home PROSIXC2W. The PROSIXC2W transmits at the same encrypted wireless frequency as the PROSIX Series Sensors, making it extremely safe and secure. And it can communicate with the PROA7PLUS System from more than 300 nominal feet away. Overall, the PROSIXC2W is a fantastic option if you have existing wired sensors on an older system and you are looking to upgrade to a new PROA7PLUS Panel.

Now that we have discussed all the sensor options for the Honeywell Home PROA7PLUS, we now want to discuss automation options for the system. The Honeywell Home PROA7PLUS has a built-in Z-Wave Plus controller, just like what is inside the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus and the 2GIG GC3e. This is an upgrade of the standard classic Z-Wave controller that is found inside the Honeywell Lyric. By using certified Z-Wave Plus devices with the PROA7PLUS, you will be able to achieve an extended wireless range and battery life. We strongly recommend checking out our 2020 Holiday Buying Guide for Automation to learn more about the Z-Wave Plus devices we recommend pairing with the PROA7PLUS. Additionally, it is expected that the PROA7PLUS will eventually be able to support Apple HomeKit, just like the Honeywell Lyric. Unfortunately, we do not have an ETA for when this will be made available. For now, we recommend using Z-Wave Plus devices for automation with the Honeywell Home PROA7PLUS Security Panel.

Please note that up to 78 total Z-Wave devices can be paired with the PROA7PLUS, which includes 60 lighting modules, 6 garage door controllers, 6 door locks, and 6 thermostats. Any Z-Wave device used with the system will also be pushed over to Total Connect 2.0 for remote control, assuming that the PROA7PLUS System is monitored.

Our next topic involves communicator options for the Honeywell Home PROA7PLUS. The system comes with a built-in WIFI card for IP connectivity. This means that you can get it monitored and set up with AlarmNet and Total Connect 2.0 right out of the box, with no additional add-ons. This is great for users who want low-cost IP-only alarm monitoring service from an Alarm Grid Bronze Plan or an Alarm Grid Silver Plan. But you should keep in mind that by doing this, your monitoring service and your safety will be dependent upon your internet connection. If you experience an internet outage, then your PROA7PLUS Alarm System will have no way of communicating signals to you or to a monitoring station.

That is why we strongly recommend upgrading to cellular communication. By installing a compatible cellular communicator inside the system. This will require upgrading to a more expensive cellular alarm monitoring plan, such as an Alarm Grid Gold Plan or an Alarm Grid Platinum Plan. But the advantage to doing this is that your system will stay connected with AlarmNet and Total Connect 2.0 even during an internet outage. You may want to review this post that thoroughly outlines our monitoring plans for more information. Remember, our Gold and Platinum Plans include BOTH cellular AND internet, meaning that you can set up your PROA7PLUS with what is commonly referred to as dual-path connectivity.

We currently have two (2) cellular communicator add-on options for the PROA7PLUS, and they are outlined below.

Honeywell Home PROLTE-V	Verizon LTE AlarmNet Communicator for Honeywell Home PROA7PLUS.

The last thing we want to discuss are some miscellaneous accessories that you can use with the Honeywell Home PROA7PLUS. These are just various replacement parts and add-ons that can improve your user experience. Some of the most notable products listed here are secondary keypads that you can use to control your security system from a second on-site location. This section also includes wireless external sirens that you can use to spread out your system's alarm sound across a larger area to ensure that everyone is alerted in the event of an emergency. These products don't really fit in with any other category, so refer to the notes to learn more about these devices. Without further ado, let's take a look.
