Honeywell Lyric System & Garage Door Control

In this video, Jarrett from Alarm Grid explains how you can use a Honeywell Lyric Alarm System to control a garage door. The setup involve using a Honeywell 5877 Relay and a Honeywell 5822T Garage Door Tilt Sensor. The Honeywell 5877 is designed exclusively for use with compatible wireless Honeywell Systems, including the Honeywell Lyric and Honeywell LYNX Touch Systems. You connect the 5877 to the garage door motor and enroll with 5877 with the Lyric. When you control the garage door from the Lyric, the system will send a signal to the 5877. From there, the 5877 tells the garage door to open using its hardwired connection.

But the Honeywell 5877 Relay does not have any way of knowing the whether the garage door is opened or closed. That is why you must enroll a Honeywell 5822T Wireless Garage Door Tilt Sensor at a designated garage door zone. The system will check this sensor to see whether the garage door is opened or closed. Alternatively, you can also use a Honeywell 5816OD Outdoor Contact Sensor or a 2GIG DW30 Outdoor Contact Sensor for this same purpose. What matters is that the sensor is set up at the designated zone based on which garage door slot you assign the Honeywell 5877 Relay.

You can also set up a Z-Wave siren and strobe light as part of this complete set up. The Z-Wave siren and strobe light will provide both audible and visual indication of the garage door being opened and closed. You enroll the Z-Wave siren and strobe to the designated garage door slot used with the Honeywell 5877 Relay. Once everything is set up properly, you can use the Lyric Panel to open and close the garage door and check the current status of the garage door. And if the system is set up with Total Connect 2.0, then you will also be able to control the garage door and check its current status from that platform. This includes control through both a web browser and the Total Connect 2.0 Mobile App.
