Finding the Serial Number on a Honeywell Key Fob

In this video, Jorge from Alarm Grid shows you how to find the Serial Number for a Honeywell Key Fob. The Serial Number for one of these devices will be found on a white sticker on the back of the fob. You can also find the Serial Number by auto-enrolling the device with a compatible security panel.

The Serial Number for a Honeywell Key Fob is used for enrolling the device with a panel. It is recommended that you auto-enroll the sensor to ensure successful communication. If you manually enter the Serial Number for enrollment, you might make a mistake, and then the sensor wouldn't work with the system. Auto-enrollment eliminates this possibility. Once you auto-enroll the sensor, the Serial Number will be displayed on the panel. This is a very easy method to figure out the Serial Number if the sticker on the back is missing.

When setting up a key fob for use with a Honeywell System, you will need to set the functions for the different buttons or inputs. Most users will want their key fob to be able to disarm, arm away, arm stay, and possibly trigger an emergency panic. These are all functions that you can set up for a key fob on a Honeywell System. Many key fobs also support dual-button presses. This means that if you press and hold two (2) buttons on the fob at the same time, then a different function will be performed. There are many four-button key fobs that can be set up to perform eight (8) functions in this way.

Remember that you must choose a key fob that communicates at a wireless frequency that is compatible with your panel. Most Honeywell Key Fobs use the 345 MHz frequency that is commonly supported by Honeywell Alarm Panels. If your system supports a different wireless frequency, then you will need to use key fobs from a different manufacturer. The only Honeywell Key Fob that doesn't use the 345 MHz frequency is the Honeywell SiXFOB, but that only works with the Honeywell Lyric Controller.

Note: You must associate a key fob with a user code for logging purposes. This way, when the fob is used, the event log, the monitoring station, and Total Connect 2.0, if used, will get information that the user associated with that fob armed or disarmed. The fob doesn't actually use or transmit the 4-digit code for the user it is associated with.
