COVID-19 Alert To DIYers: COVID-19 has severely affected supplier inventory. Product availability, at the moment, is in flux. If you order today, depending on the product, there may be a significant delay in shipping it to you. We apologize for any delays, and assure you that products will be shipped as soon as we can get them. Before COVID, we had significant stock of nearly every popular product that we sell. But demand has outpaced our supplier's ability to meet it, and has exhausted the stock we had purchased to meet increased demand during the government-mandated lockdowns. If you need the product right away, it is unlikely we will be able to accommodate you. For that we apologize. We ask for your patience as we all navigate this unique situation together. Be nice to our employees, they are doing their best to answer your questions and get your product to you as quickly as they can.
Regarding Shipping: Like our suppliers, shipping companies have been deeply affected by the COVID-19 epidemic. Please understand, at the moment, shipping speeds are varying from their promised times. While we ship most items promptly, UPS and USPS, are often not getting products to our customers within the promised timeframe. We are unable to offer refunds for slower shipping at the moment, as this is not within our control. We pay for the shipping speed requested, and, at the moment, our shipping partners are unable to meet their own standards of speed and reliability (this is true of overnight as well) We apologize for this, but can't do anything about it. Please be aware, however, that shipping speeds still matter. While 3-day shipping may, sometimes mean 4-day shipping, it will still be faster than Ground. If you need your product quickly, please choose faster shipping, as it will be faster. But do not expect to get the product in the expected timeframe.
To installers: We have seen an uptick in orders from individuals we suspect to be professional installers. If you are here to get product quickly because you are unable to get the product at your usual supplier, rest assured, we are also out of the product and won't be able to fulfill your order in a timely manner. Like our end-users, we will be delivering products as soon as we get them in.

Get an LTE Communicator Instead.

We do not recommend the Interlogix 600-1048-XT-ZX-AT. This 3G communicator can no longer be activated with the Alarm.com 3G sunset. If you need an AT&T communicator for your Interlogix Simon Panel, you should purchase the Interlogix 600-1048-XT-LTE-AT. There's also a dual-path communicator available called the Alarm.com XT-511-US-AT that uses AT&T LTE and IP connectivity. Either of these communicators is a much better option than the Interlogix 600-1048-XT-ZX-AT.
Cellular service providers like AT&T are currently shutting down their older 3G networks in favor of the more advanced LTE networks. The LTE networks are faster and more reliable, which makes them better-suited for alarm monitoring. Since 3G networks will be shut down in the coming years, companies that operate interactive alarm monitoring platforms no longer allow 3G activations. As a result, you can no longer activate an Interlogix 600-1048-XT-ZX-AT for use with Alarm.com. If you have already activated this module, then you can continue to use it until AT&T shuts down their 3G network. This is expected to occur by the end of 2022. We recommend upgrading to an LTE communicator before then so that you do not experience any interruptions to your monitoring service.
Customers looking to get an AT&T LTE communicator for an Interlogix Simon XT, Simon XTi, Simon XTi-5, or a Simon XTi-5i should get an Interlogix 600-1048-XT-LTE-AT instead. This communicator is available from Alarm Grid for $166.99 at the time of this writing. If you don't mind spending a bit more, you can get the Alarm.com XT-511-US-AT, which costs $197.99 at the time of this writing. Both the Interlogix 600-1048-XT-LTE-AT and the Alarm.com XT-511-US-AT also provide Z-Wave functionality. This means that you can start building a Z-Wave network for use with Alarm.com. Remember, you will need an alarm monitoring plan that includes cellular communication to activate one of these modules and use it for monitoring service.
