Hi, DIYers.
Joey here from Alarm Grid.
And today we're going to talk about
if the Skybell DBCam Trim is compatible with the Lyric
system.
And it is.
We have a Skybell Trim right here.
It's smaller than the regular Skybell, and it is 1080p.
And the Skybell DB Trim and the Skybell Trim Plus
are actually the same model.
Either of those are going to work with the Lyric,
with Honeywell, or with Total Connect 2.0,
or with the Skybell app itself.
If you have an alarm.com system and you
do want to use the Trim or the regular Skybell,
you're actually going to have to purchase the alarm.com
version of that.
If you do get that model, don't try
to enroll it to the regular Skybell app,
as it may try to download a firmware update that's
going to brick the Skybell.
So just keep in mind, if you have alarm.com,
you have to get the alarm.com version of the Skybell,
and you can only use it with the alarm.com app.
For all intents and purposes, though,
today we have a regular DBCam hooked up
that we're going to use to hook up the Lyric system.
We actually have it connected to an AD12612 Honeywell power
supply.
If you go to install your Skybell
and you find that the existing wiring or the existing doorbell
is not going to power it, you may
have to install a power supply.
The only thing to know about installing a power
supply with the Skybell is that one of the legs
needs a 10 ohm resistor.
It's very important to install this,
or you may damage the unit.
So we have our Skybell DBCam right here,
and we have the Lyric system right here.
One thing to know before going and doing your integration,
there's actually something you have to do online
to have this be able to work.
If you go to our website and you type in Skybell Total Connect
integration, you're going to see a document that
says Skybell DB Trim integration guide,
or something of the sort.
Click on that, and that document is
going to have a few pieces of information on it.
One is going to be a website, which it's
going to tell you to go to.
It's a Honeywell website.
And it's also going to give you a code.
So there's going to be two data entry lines.
So you're going to put the code in on one of the boxes.
And on the other box, it asks for the Skybell serial number.
You'll have to enter the serial number of the Skybell.
To find that, we have our back plate on,
so you can't really see it, but if you look, that number right
there, that's the serial number of the Skybell itself.
So if you take that number, you go to that website, put that
in, hit OK, that's going to tell Skybell that it can now
work with the Lyric system, and that will allow it to link up.
If you're having trouble integrating it,
that's very likely the step that you'll
need to take to get it onto the system.
Now, the functionality between Skybell and Lyric
is really basic at this time.
All it can do is chime the name that you give the Skybell,
just like another door, another zone in this system.
And we're going to walk through this right now.
So if we look at our Lyric, the first thing to know
is that you want the Lyric itself
and the Skybell on the same Wi-Fi network.
From here, we're going to click on Tools,
and we're going to go into the Master Code menu.
On this menu, click the arrow to go to the side,
then click Skybell Setup.
It says, to enroll a doorbell, press
a button on that doorbell.
Can hit OK.
And then we're going to hit the button on the Skybell.

And there we go.
So the Lyric picked it up.
From here, you can click this.
And we can add a descriptor or you can change the chime.
To make this easy, we're just going to name this Door today.
Door.
Click Save, and then click Save.
So now we're locked in.
So we head back to the main menu.
When somebody presses the doorbell,
this should chime door.
[BEEPING]
Door.
And there you go.
That's pretty much the extent of the integration
between the Skybell and the Lyric system itself.
If you have Total Connect 2.0, you can also
integrate it through that app.
And that looks very similar to the options
that you'll find in the Skybell app.
