In this video, Jorge from Alarm Grid shows you how to check the current firmware version for a Honeywell Tuxedo Touch Keypad. Resideo, which was formerly known as Honeywell, will sometimes release firmware updates for the Tuxedo Touch. These firmware updates are designed to provide new device features and/or improve device performance and stability.

Updates for the Tuxedo Touch are provided via an SD card. You must download the updates to the SD card and then perform the updating process. This involves inserting the SD card and then resetting the Tuxedo Touch Keypad to get the updates to go through. After perform the update, it may be necessary to reapply the ECP address for the Tuxedo Touch.

But perform you go to update the Honeywell Tuxedo Touch, you might want to check its firmware version first. This is so that you can determine if a firmware update is actually needed. The current firmware version can be found inside the Keypad Information Menu. It is listed as the Software Version. You may want to note the Software Version on a piece of paper or take a picture of it so that you do not need to access the menu again later.

Remember that the Tuxedo Touch serves as both a Z-Wave hub and as a keypad controller for a Honeywell VISTA System. A firmware update may only affect one function of the Tuxedo Touch, or it may impact both its touchscreen keypad capabilities and its Z-Wave automation capabilities. This will depend upon the firmware update that is being applied. As the Tuxedo Touch is a relatively older device, new firmware updates are seldom provided these days. Once you update, you may never have to update it again. In fact, the Tuxedo Touch has effectively been discontinued and replaced by the newer and sleeker Honeywell Home Tuxedo Keypad.
