Pairing the Qolsys IQ Remote With a Qolsys IQ Panel 2

In this video, Jorge shows users how to pair the Qolsys IQ Remote with a Qolsys IQ Panel 2 System. The IQ Remote serves as the secondary keypad for the IQ Panel 2. It pairs with the system across a WIFI network. This allows it to be used with the standard IQ Panel 2 and all IQ Panel 2 Plus versions.

Adding a secondary keypad to an IQ Panel 2 is a great option for larger locations and complexes. This way, you can control your system from multiple locations. If you have different spots where you enter and leave your home, you can have a keypad at each location for your convenience. By doing this you can have a keypad ready whether you leave from your front door, garage door or basement entrance. Up to three IQ Remote devices can be paired with a single IQ Panel 2 System, for a total of four on-site access points. Please note that the IQ Panel 2 must be running firmware version 2.1.0 or higher to support the IQ Remote.

The IQ Remote lets you perform most basic system functions, including arming, disarming and bypassing sensors. You can also perform automation functions, such as controlling Z-Wave devices and activating smart scenes. However, most programming will still need to be done from the the main IQ Panel 2 System. This includes adding new sensors, configuring Z-Wave devices, adding and deleting user codes and changing system settings. Really, the IQ Remote is only for performing daily system functions and actions. It is not for adjusting or configuring system settings.

Please note that another way to quickly control an IQ Panel 2 System is through the Alarm.com Mobile App on Android and iOS devices. This application will let you operate your IQ Panel 2 System from virtually anywhere in the world. Through the app, you can arm and disarm, check system status and perform smart home automation functions.
