    Tangent thanks for the info. I got them programmed in. Now all that's left is naming the zones. Then it'll be done.

    I have a large rectangular window with entry's on the left and right with wireless Honeywell 5816 sensors on them. Does anyone know you go about programming this? I have 14 sensors and only 7 wireless zones. As you can see there isn't enough zones to accommodate every sensor as an individual...

    Good idea Tangent. I didn't end up needing the old Lynx though. Programming the 20P from the 6160RF isn't bad. Everything is wired up. Now comes the programming of zones and tidying up. One thing I completely messed up was the actual panel that goes on the wall. For some reason I thought cutting...

    Just got my 20P Kit today. About to begin the installation tonight. Is their anything I should do before disconnecting the old LynxR 2 Panel?

    Oh, right in the box, bad idea. I'll put it on the wall next to the Vista 20P. After initial programming, I won't actually be interacting with the keypad much. Instead I'll be using a tablet and mobile phone as a virtual keypads. Thomas

    Did that, I've got a handle on the programming. I'm ready to roll. LOL. Question: Do you see any issue with mounting the 6160RF in the same box with the 20P, 7ah battery, which itself will be hidden away in a room closet.

    I took your advice smiticans and picked up a 6160RF with the system. I plan to integrated it into my Samsung SmartThings Home Integration System ([RELEASE] Honeywell / Ademco Vista 20P Integration).

    I got the Vista 20P, and EnvisaLink EVL-4 ordered today. I plan use a Samsung SmartThings integration to integrate it into my Home Automation System. Bye, bye LynxR 2.

    @smiticans, is the 21ip the better option since it has integrated AlarmNet internet alarm monitoring communicator and a 4G cellular board available. The 21iP is running approx $100 or so more than the 20P.

    Ok. So it's established that I can get cellular monitoring from $20-40 per month. Where does Alarm.com and Total Connect 2.0 come in? Do those services come from the company I order the panel from or the monitoring service I choose? Or I stick with my previous plan of getting the 20P and...

    @fenderman I see. I do not have a landline. A cellular line would have to do the trick. Is it because AlarmRelay doesn't support cellular? Please excuse my ignorance in the matter, I'm new to this whole security system thing.

    I checked out the AlarmRelay company. Thank you for the link. I have so many questions...Just 1 however is, does an Alarm.com or Total Connect 2.0 account come with the $8.95 service? I'm choosing those two system because they are the apps that support the panels I'd be looking to interface...

    I've read the opposing viewpoints. Both sides have their points. The position I currently have is that I don't have an alarm now. No notifications. Getting something installed where I do receive notifications electronically and sonically is an improvement. I did look at several companies, but...

    Got it. Ok, Here's the system as I'm planning it out. $279 for the 20P Kit (comes with a bunch of goodies I need) $129 EnvisaLink $408 Total With no monitoring fees it's a winner. I've looked at several security systems over the last few days. Heck, I've even had to cancel a couple that I'd...

    @smiticans, I've reassessed my situation based on your posts and I'm now reevauating the 20P EnvisaLink 4 solution. My biggest question is will the EnvisaLink 4 work with the 20P and all my Honeywell 5816 wireless zones? I've posted this question at the EnvisaLink forum as well, I have yet to...
