Hi DIY-ers, Joe here from AlarmGrid,
and today we're going to talk about which
5800 sensors are compatible with the Lyric Security System.
The good news is that most of the sensors from the 5800 line
are compatible with the system.
And the only ones that are not are ones that
require a house ID to work.
Some of the sensors that don't work with the system
are the 5828 wireless keypad, as that needs a house ID to work.
The 5800 Wave Wireless Siren, that also requires a house
ID to work.
That's not compatible.
And the 5800RL Wireless Relay, that's not compatible either.
Now Honeywell has said that in the future,
they do plan to release a firmware update that's
going to bring that feature to the system.
When that happens, the devices will become compatible
with the Lyric.
But until that time, there's nothing
you can really do with those.
So we have a few of the 5800 devices that are compatible,
and some that are not.
Right over here, let's check some of them out.
One of the more popular devices that you may see from the 5800
line is the 5800 Mini.
This is a small form size wireless door and window
sensor that works the magnetic reed switch right
side of the unit.
When it is mounted on the door or window,
the magnet that it's going to work with
mounts right next to it.
And when it's next to the device,
the system will see it as closed.
When the door window opens, the magnet
moves away, that's how the system knows
that that zone opens.
It's a great device to use.
Just like most of the other 5800 devices, it has a 200 foot
nominal range, supervised communication, and works great.
Another commonly used sensor is the 5816 wireless
door and window sensor.
This is just like the 5800 Mini in that it
works with a magnet and a magnetic reed switch,
so it can know when the door or window is open or closed when
used with that function.
It also has a hard wired terminal inside of the contact,
so you can land a hard wired sensor right to this contact,
and program it in to work with the system.
It can use both a magnetic reed switch and the hard wired
terminals at the same time.
It just requires two different zones in programming,
if you're going to use them simultaneously.
Another commonly used contact is the 5822 wireless tilt sensor.
This is normally mounted on a garage or rolling door.
The way it works is that when you stick it
on the door, when it's faced upright,
it knows that the door is closed.
And when the rolling door opens up and tilts the sensor,
that's how it knows that the door is open.
As long as it's programming in the system correctly,
this is when it thinks the system's going to know the door
is open.
This is what it knows that the door is closed.
Now this is actually used with the 5877 Wireless Relay
Receiver.
That can be used with the Lyric system.
Let's take a look at it right here.
This can be used with the Lyric system
when you use it it control a garage door.
This program is under the automation section on the Lyric
system, and you can join it right to a garage door zone.
And when paired with this, this programs
into the normal zone programming.
When both these are on the system,
you'll be able to monitor the status of the garage door.
So you'll see if it's open or closed.
You can have it work like a regular burglary zone,
and you'll also be able to control
the opening of the garage door through the Lyric,
or through Total Connect 2.0 if you have the automation
upgrade on your app.
So again, if you want to control the garage door,
these are two of the devices that you'll need.
You can also add a wireless z-wave siren
to notify people in the garage when the door opens and closes.
If you head over to our website and type in GDCK,
that'll bring you the kit which has the three devices bundled
together if you want to control garage doors using your Lyric
system.
It's a pretty cool feature to use.
Another very popular 5800 sensor that's
compatible with the system is that 5800 combo.
This is actually a heat, smoke, and CO factor
all built into one unit.
And you can even program it to work
to monitor low temperatures in the place where it's mounted.
As you can see, it has two test buttons right on the front
to test the fire and the CO detection right in the unit.
Voice enunciated, and has a very, very long life
as it should last a good eight to 10 years after you
install it.
Another very, very commonly used device from the 5800 line
is the 5800 C2W.
This is used if you want a land hard wired zones onto it
and then have them program into the Lyric system.
This is great to use if you're taking over an existing
hardwired system, as you can take the existing system
off the box, you can put this in the box,
or wherever it's mounted, and then
land on the existing hard wired zones right onto this device.
This supports nine hard wired zones.
If you have more hard wired zones
that you want to join into the Lyric panel itself,
you can add as many of these as you'd like.
The Lyric system itself supports up the 128 wireless zones,
each one of the hardwired zones that's on the 5800 C2W
will be seen as a wireless zone when you do program
it into the Lyric system.
One of the devices that the Lyric system is not
compatible with is the 5828 wireless keypad.
This is a fixed English keypad.
It has a basic display.
And as you can see it looks just like a 6150, or a 6160 keypad,
with the full number keypad right here.
And you have your four function buttons on the side.
The only wireless keypad that's currently compatible
with the Lyric system is the LKP 500,
or you can actually download an app called My Home Control,
or install it on a smartphone or tablet.
And that device will turn into a virtual keypad
that you can also use as a wireless keypad in the home.
This though, you can't use until the Lyric system
does get that firmware update to make it house ID compatible.
So if you have one of these lying around with the Lyric,
you won't be able to use it at this time.
So that's the overview of the devices that
are compatible with the Lyric system
from the 5800 sensor line.
