DSC Wireless Sensors and the Lyric Panel?

In this video, Jarrett from Alarm Grid explains that DSC Wireless Sensors are not compatible with the Honeywell Lyric Security System. This includes both DSC Wireless 433 MHz Sensors and DSC PowerG Sensors. But the Lyric can support wireless 345 MHz sensors and Honeywell SiX Series Wireless Sensors.

A security system needs a wireless receiver to support any wireless sensors. This wireless receiver determines what type(s) of sensors the system can support. In the case of the Honeywell Lyric Alarm Panel, the system can actually support two (2) different frequencies of wireless sensors. The system can support wireless 345 MHz sensors from Honeywell and 2GIG. It can also support wireless 2.4 GHz Honeywell SiX Series Sensors. But the system cannot support any wireless sensors from DSC.

There are two (2) major lineups of 345 MHz sensors that are supported by the Honeywell Lyric Alarm System. The system is backwards compatible with most of the Honeywell 5800 Series Sensors that operate at the 345 MHz sensor. This is a very diverse lineup that includes every type of security, environmental, and life-safety sensor you could want for a system. Just note that you can only use the uni-directional Honeywell 5800 Series devices with the Lyric System. The panel cannot support bi-directional 5800 Sensors.

If the Lyric System is running Firmware Version MR3 or higher, then it can support the 2GIG 345 MHz Sensors as well. These sensors were designed for use with the 2GIG Security Systems, but you should have no problem using them with the Lyric as well. If you want to use encrypted sensors with the Lyric, then the Honeywell SiX Series devices are your best option. The 2.4 GHz SiX Sensors operate using 128-bit AES encryption, and they are designed exclusively for use with the Lyric System.
