Hi DIYers.
Joe here from Alarm Grid.
And today, we're going to talk about how to enable chime
on a Lyric security system.
Now, the Lyric system has two forms of chime.
It has a regular chime and it has voice chime.
Regular chime means that when a zone opens,
it's going to perform a tone or melody that you
program on the system.
The voice chime means that if you have entered
the proper zone descriptions for that zone
and you have the voice chime enabled,
the Lyric will actually read out the description of the zone
that you have programmed and then it will perform the chime.
With voice chiming, only the Lyric system itself
or a device running the My Home Controller app
will be able to perform that function.
The LKP500, it will do the regular chime.
That's the standalone wireless keypad for the system.
But it's not going to do voice chime.
We've let Honeywell know.
They haven't made any announcements
that that's going to change, so if you
do want to get the voice chime on the system,
get a tablet or a smartphone.
Some customers have even mounted their tablet in a wall
and just run the My Home Controller app all day.
That will give you a virtual keypad
on that particular smart device.
And it will also let you use the voice chime function
on that virtual keypad.
Let's take a look on the system and check out
the different chiming options under Zone Programming.
So I've already entered Tools and entered our installer code.
As you can see, we're at the Program menu on the Lyric.
We're going to click on Program.
And then we're going to click on Zones.
Now, we have this defaulted.
But we can still go into the zones
and check out the different chime options.
So if we click Back Door and then click Edit,
you'll notice that down here we have our Chime button.
Now, as we press this button, [CHIME]
it's going to go through the different melodies
that you can program for the particular zone.
You can select the one that you want.
And you can also completely turn of the chime.
[CHIMES]
So if you have it disabled, that means that that particular zone
will make no noise if it opens and you have chime enabled.
That's convenient if you have plenty
of zones that you do want to chime but you have a couple
that you don't want to.
If you just go into Zone Programming
and turn it off for those zones, they
won't chime when they open.
Next, if we look at our Zone Descriptions--
that's these two fields right here--
these are the description fields that we're going
to use to describe the zone.
Down here, the Device Type, that's
going to be the noun of the zone.
So if you have a front door, a back door,
you don't actually have to put door in the description.
The door down here in the Type is going to cover that.
And the Lyric's actually going to read
that off when that door or window or zone opens.
Now, if we click on our Zone Description 1,
this is our Description field entry.
Let's re-enter back door.
You're going to notice that as we enter letters,
it's going to fill in the word.
[INAUDIBLE]
As long as it fills in the word, when you enter the letter
and you use that word, that word will be voice-announced.
If you enter a custom word, it's totally fine to do.
It just will not be read out if you
have voice enunciation programmed and active
on the system itself.
As we did here, say back, when we
entered this word or this letter and we clicked Save,
we know that when this particular zone opens,
it's going to read that word off,
so it'll say "back" and then "door."
If we click Save, that will enter it in.
And then Save, we have it set just like it was before.
The other portion on the system that you're
going to have to go to to check for your chime being enabled
is on the main screen.
So we backed out of Programming and we're on the main screen.
Let's hit the Home button until we see this security screen.
And then we're going to click the Settings button, right down
here.
As you can see, down here we have our two chime options.
And then we have this volume bar that
actually determines how loud the chime is on the system.
The top option says Voice.
The bottom option says Chime.
Now, they both have to be selected for voice chime
to work.
You can't just have only the voice chime
work and the chime not work.
So if you're wondering why it's not
activating when you feel like you did enable it,
go back in here and just make sure
that it's not set so that the voice is enabled
and that the chime is not.
Nothing is going to happen.
They're both going to have to be entered for it
to actually function.
Click Save, and then you're all set.
That's how you enable chime on a Lyric security system.
