The Honeywell Home Tuxedo is Not an Alarm Communicator
In this video, Michael from Alarm Grid explains how the Resideo Tuxedo Keypad is not an AlarmNet Communicator. Although the Tuxedo connects with a local WIFI network, it cannot connect to the internet on the behalf of the alarm panel. The Honeywell VISTA Panel will still need its own communicator to connect with the AlarmNet servers for monitoring service. This can be an IP-only communicator like the Honeywell 7847i, a cellular-only communicator like the Honeywell LTE-XA or LTE-XV, or a dual-path communicator like the Honeywell LTE-IA or LTE-IV.
There are a few reasons why the Honeywell Home Tuxedo Keypad will connect with a local WIFI network. For one, connecting to local WIFI allows the Tuxedo to receive firmware updates from the AlarmNet servers. Resideo may periodically release new features and device updates for the Tuxedo. The updates are automatically pushed over-the-air (OTA) to the Tuxedo. In order to receive these updates, the Tuxedo must be connected with a local WIFI network. An internet connection also allows the Tuxedo to display a local weather forecast for the convenience of the end user.
A Honeywell VISTA Security System cannot use a connected Tuxedo Keypad to access the AlarmNet servers. Most VISTA Panels use an external communicator for this purpose. The communicator must be activated for monitoring service. This will require a compatible monitoring plan. The user should decide whether they want to use their system with IP communication, cellular communication, or dual-path communication before buying the appropriate communicator. It's also worth mentioning that the VISTA-21iP and VISTA-21iPLTE Systems have built-in IP communicators that allow for connectivity with the AlarmNet servers, without an external communicator being added. All other VISTA Systems will require an external communicator for monitoring service. The user should make sure that their system is compatible with Total Connect 2.0 if they want to control their system remotely.
