Honeywell GSMVLP5-4G - AlarmNet LYNX Touch Cellular Alarm Monitoring Communicator

Total Connect Home Automation Control!
Submitted on 09/16/2012 Nick Dodd

I got this to go along with my Lynx Touch and now I can control my house from my phone. It's awesome. I turn the lights on when I'm leaving work so when my wife doesn't have to come home to a dark house and I unlock my side door for my cleaning lady every other Monday at 10AM. Literally take a few taps on my iPhone. I'd recommend the GSMVLP5-4G to anyone that has a Lynx Touch system.

Honeywell L3000PK - LYNX Plus Wireless Security System

Don't need all the bells and whistles.
Submitted on 09/14/2012 Harvey Bixter

I looked at the lyxn touch and talked to Sterling about the difference btwn the l300 and the l5100 but i really dont care ab the home automation or the touchscreen so i went with the l300 since it was alot less $$. I knew i wanted Honeywell since they seemed to be the best brand after looking around the interwebs and this kit lived up to the name. Some people would prob really like the touch but i dont need it.

Honeywell L5100PK-4G - L5100 LYNX Touch Cellular Wireless Security System

Great kit!
Submitted on 09/14/2012 Mark Palmer

After tons of research and many helpful calls to Alarm Grid with endless questions (sorry!) I finally chose this kit to build my security system. I added some extra wireless transmitters for all my doors and windows but this had everything else I needed. Love the cellular communicator because I can use Total Connect on my iPhone to check on my alarm system while I'm at work. This kit is also less expensive than buying the L5100PK and the cell communicator separately so that was a nice added bonus. Would recommend to anyone looking for wireless system that can do it all!

Honeywell L5100-WIFI - AlarmNet LYNX Touch WiFi Alarm Monitoring Communicator

Does what it says it'll do
Submitted on 09/12/2012 Marcus

Got the communicator to enable WIFI on my L5100 panel. I'm not very handy, but I got it installed pretty quick. I had to call Alarm Grid one time to ask a question about how to get install it, and they were happy to help. Got it up after within 10 minutes of getting it in the mail. It does what it says it'll do and it's worked ever since I got it into the panel.

Not bad... not bad at all

The manuals were really simple. I quickly installed the system and got it working. It's highly customizable, and really simple to use and the key fob that comes with the pack works really well which made me happy.

The pack comes with three different manuals, but they are summarized, and it's really simple to figure out. the manuals really helped me figure out how to customize my system. I had a couple problems during setup, but the manuals pretty much old me exactly how to fix them. For those DIYers who haven't really touched one of these things, but who are excited to try there is a small learning curve. I, for exapmle, had to learn and understand loops, faults and some other words I'd never really dealt with until I started working with these alarm systems. Luckily, any mistakes you make are easily undone and modification and customization is easy becauseeof how intuitive the system is.

I needed a bit of technical support when I was trying to set it up. So I called Alarm Grid, they got me up and running. they understood the product really well and were able to help me with my hangups. So, while I've read on other reviews that Honeywell won't support the product unless your a licensed dealer or something like that, the alternative was simple, and I didn't really have any snags to speak of.

Honeywell VISTA-20P - Wired Alarm Control Panel

DIY Install
Submitted on 09/12/2012 CLARK

Did a DIY install of the Vista 20p. Coupled it with the Tuxedo touch. I don't think I've evr had more fun. I'm not a giant alarm system nerd, so I don' tknow what's out there as an alternative, but this was a blast to install, and I like the functionality of tthe Tuxedo Touch. It looks great, and it functions awesome.

The setup was amazingly quick. I got the L5100 panel with the LT-Cable, and it took about 15 minutes to get the panel installed. Its way way better than the last panel I had, and it's easy to use.

Honeywell LT-CABLE - Universal Security System Power Supply Cable

LT-CABLE made my L5100 installation much easier!
Submitted on 09/11/2012 George Jones

I went with a wireless system because I don't like dealing with wires but the old l3000 still had to have a transformer. I cant tell you how much i struggled with stripping those damn lil wires. Now that Honeywell finally has a cable that makes connectng a transformer easy, I upgraded to the new Lynx Touch. The LT-cable is great for any DIYer.

Honeywell Tuxedo Touch - Talking Color Graphic Wired Touchscreen Alarm Keypad

Self-Instlal
Submitted on 09/08/2012 CLARK

Use this keypad with my Vista 20p. It's amazing. I don't know if I've had more people ask about my alarm system than I did when I got the tuxedo. It looks great, it makes the Vista's functional, and I absolutely love the enhancing apps that i can install.

Honeywell Tuxedo Touch - Talking Color Graphic Wired Touchscreen Alarm Keypad

Had to order cable sepearately, but we loved it when we got it up and running
Submitted on 09/06/2012 EW

Easy to use. We absolutely love the Tuxedo Touch. Ours didn't come with a power supply, so we actually had to buy it seperately. I'm not sure if this is how all Tuxedo's come, but that was our only complaint.
