Using Simon XTi with Total Connect
In this video, Dylan explains that the Interlogix Simon XTi cannot be used with the Total Connect interactive service. Total Connect was designed for use with Honeywell Systems only. The Interlogix Simon XTi is not produced by Honeywell, and it cannot be used with the Total Connect service platform.
Nearly every modern alarm system is capable of using an IP or cellular connection to access an interactive service platform like Total Connect 2.0. These services provide great accessibility and control for an alarm system. But certain services are only compatible with specific alarm systems. In the case of Total Connect 2.0, the service is only compatible with Honeywell Security Systems. Since the Simon XTi is manufactured by Interlogix, it will not work with TC2.
But the Interlogix Simon XTi does have another interactive service that it can access. This service is called Alarm.com, and it will perform virtually all of the same functions as Total Connect 2.0. The two main ways to access Alarm.com are through a web browser and remotely using the Alarm.com Mobile App. Once a user has accessed Alarm.com, a user can arm and disarm their system, check the current status of sensors, control Z-Wave smart home devices and more.
In order to access Alarm.com, a Simon XTi will need a compatible cellular communication module. The cellular communicator will allow the Simon XTi System to send and receive messages from Alarm.com. Without a cellular communicator, the system will have no way of accessing Alarm.com. Cellular communication also provides other benefits for alarm systems. Most notable is the excellent reliability of cellular communication. Cellular connectivity is extremely reliable, and it continue to keep the system monitored when the power is out. The same cannot be said for WIFI connectivity, which often goes down and is dependent upon electricity.
