Self-install? Home automation-friendly?
By Spencer S.
I bought this kit for a new installation in my house. I went the self-install route and purchased a plethora of entry, motion, and glass break sensors from amazon and other places online.Quick summary: I like this alarm panel. It has been around forever and has plenty of sensors and extensions available. For example, I have it plugged into my z-wave home automation system via a third-party product called the ad2usb. WThe options presented to the installer/user shows the appreciation for the risks and use cases addressed by panel. My dog hated the keypad sounds at first but has since gotten used to the the sounds. The panel works but this is my first experience in physical security systems so I don't have anything to offer in the way of technical comparison. I'm giving this 4 out of 5 because the hardware is way, way over priced.1 - what comes in the box?Basically you're getting the Honeywell/Ademco 20P panel's:a. metal enclosure, circuit board, transformerb. sirenc. keypad - 6160rfd. motion sensor (passive infrared)Benefit of this kit - everything you need to get started. The 6160RF is particularly nice since you can now extend it via wireless sensors without having to purchase a transmitter/receiver separately.Drawback - not enough to do anything useful yet (but it is a start!)2- what will I need?You're going to need a bunch more sensors. Personally I went with 1*Honeywell/Ademco 5816 wireless sensors for each door and openable window. Then I added audio-based glass break sensors - the Honeywell/Ademco 5816. I have too many animals over 80 pounds so I can't do PIR motion sensors, hence the 5816s to detect glass breaks.Oh and time and patience. You're going to need a lot of time and patience when it comes to programming the alarm. I'm now up to 24 wireless sensors added to my panel and I'm getting quite good at adding new ones but it was a struggle at first. If you're going the DIY route check out all the DIY alarm forums. Some have FAQs put together for these panels.3 - home automation?This panel and hardware line has been around for decades. That means there are tons of extensions. I have mine connected to my z-wave system (Vera Lite) via ad2usb. It is kinda slick. Enter the correct PIN on my front door's deadbolt (Schlage) and the alarm is disarmed; no need to enter the same PIN at the deadbolt and inside at a panel. I can also arm and disarm it remotely using this system. You can get cellular boards (2G/3G/4G), ethernet boards, serial boards, etc and, with the right hardware and effort, you can control this from any typical operating system like OS X, Windows, Linux, BSD, etc.
