The Honeywell Lyric Verizon-CDMA 3-1 Kit is an old security system kit sold by Alarm Grid. The kit included a Honeywell Lyric Alarm System, three (3) VERSA-2GIG Contacts, a Honeywell SiXPIR Motion Sensor, a Verizon CDMA Communicator, and a Honeywell LT-Cable. Other than the Verizon CDMA Communicator, everything included in this kit is still top of the line and can be used very effectively. And if you already have the communicator activated, then it can continue to be used until Verizon eventually shuts down their CDMA Network. But since we really like the Lyric System and the included sensors, we can still give this 5 Stars.

The Lyric is a great system, and it offers pretty much everything you would expect out of a modern system. It has 128 wireless zones, built-in Z-Wave, integrated WIFI, and a beautiful touchscreen. The sensors included with this kit are simple, yet effective. They are all easy to enroll, and you can program them according to your unique needs. As an added bonus, the SiXPIR Motion Sensor utilizes 128-bit AES encryption for added wireless security. And the Honeywell LT-Cable is a nice addition, as it makes installing the system even easier. We also want to mention that even though the Verizon CDMA Communicator can no longer be activated, the Lyric System can still be used for IP-only with no added equipment.

The main downsides from this kit concern the fact that it has a very outdated communicator. The Verizon CDMA Communicator can no longer be activated for monitoring service. Making matters worse is that if you have one that is already activated, then it will stop working once Verizon shuts down their CDMA Network. You will want to upgrade to LTE as soon as you can. Fortunately, LTE modules are readily available. Overall, we are big fans of the Lyric System. If it weren't for the CDMA Communicator, we would strongly recommend this kit. But luckily, we have some Lyric Kits with LTE modules available for purchase instead. Still, this doesn't stop us from giving the Honeywell Lyric Verizon-CDMA 3-1 Kit a 5 Star rating.

Good: Excellent System, Nice Sensors, LT-Cable, Can Still Do IP Monitoring

Bad: CDMA Communicator Cannot Be Activated, Need to Upgrade to LTE

Bottom Line: 5 Stars

HI Kelvin, upgrading wireless sensors is a bit more tricky than upgrading wired ones. There are a number of different devices that will allow you to convert wired to wireless sensors and change panels, but wireless sensors are a bit more proprietary. In some cases, there may be a Resolution Products translator that can translate your DSC sensors to communicate to a Honeywell panel. https://www.alarmgrid.com/products/resolution-products-re524x is one such device. Assuming this device is capable of translating for your DSC wireless devices (there are some DSC 900mHz wireless devices that I don't think are compatible) you could then use the Lyric alarm system with Total Connect 2.0 and your existing wireless devices.
Hello, I have a DSC system with about 15 wireless sensors. I am wanting to switch to a alarm system that lets me use the Honeywell Total Connect 2.0 application via android phone. Can you recommend the lowest model or system that I could switch over to so I could be able to use the app?
It's a Honeywell alarm system that can be used as a non-monitored system and if you want monitoring, you'd have to go through a company that offers AlarmNet monitoring (which most alarm companies in the country do). We offer no-contract plans online at https://www.alarmgrid.com/monitoring.
Is this a non proprietary controller ?
