Why Honeywell Owners Switch to SafeHomeCentral.com

• Half the price, no contracts. Most large dealers bundle pricey monitoring with long terms and early-termination penalties. SafeHomeCentral.com keeps the same professional monitoring while cutting the monthly bill—no long-term contract required.

• Landline from $8.95; IP/cellular just a bit more. If you’re on a tight budget or have an existing dial tone, landline is the cheapest way to stay monitored. Prefer app control or more resilience? Choose IP or cellular plans without breaking the bank.

• Nationwide coverage with UL-certified central stations. We monitor across the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico. Canadian customers are monitored by Canadian UL-certified centrals; U.S. customers by U.S. centrals.

• 7-day live technical support. Phone, chat, and email support every day, including weekends—when many competitors are harder to reach.

• Same-day insurance certificates. Need proof for your insurer? We send certificates the same day your service is established, often helping customers save 15–20% on homeowner’s premiums (savings vary by insurer).

Monitoring Paths for Honeywell Systems (What Works with What)

Honeywell (now Resideo for many product lines) has built millions of panels. The great news: there’s almost always a cost-effective monitoring path—landline, IP, cellular, or dual-path—to keep your current system and start saving.

AlarmNet (Total Connect 2.0)—Compatible with Most Honeywell Systems

Best for: Owners who want native Honeywell/Resideo connectivity and the Total Connect 2.0 app for remote arm/disarm, status, and notifications.
Compatibility: Broad Honeywell/Resideo support (panel-specific communicators required). This includes Vista hardwired panels, Lynx wireless models, and ProSeries like ProA7/ProA7Plus.

• Why choose AlarmNet: Tightest integration with Honeywell panels, polished app experience (Total Connect 2.0), excellent path for both legacy Vista systems and modern ProSeries.

• Hardware examples (varies by panel generation): IP communicators, LTE communicators, or dual-path communicators designed for Vista and ProSeries families.

Alarm.com—Vista Series Only

Best for: Home or business owners with Honeywell Vista panels who prefer the Alarm.com ecosystem and app experience.
Compatibility: Vista-series systems using an Alarm.com-compatible communicator. (Not for Lynx or ProA7Plus.)

• Why choose Alarm.com for Vista: Robust app, reliable notifications, optional video integrations, and dual-path options depending on communicator choice.

Alula—Vista Series Only

Best for: Vista owners wanting a modern app with flexible device support and straightforward retrofit communicators.
Compatibility: Vista-series panels via Alula communicators.

• Why choose Alula: Cost-effective retrofit, good app control, and solid reliability—excellent for upgrading a classic Vista without replacing the panel.

Telguard—Vista Series Only

Best for: Vista owners looking for a cellular pathway with proven central-station integration and widely recognized reliability.
Compatibility: Vista-series systems via Telguard communicators.

• Why choose Telguard: Rock-solid cellular performance and broad central-station compatibility; a strong choice when IP is unavailable or unreliable.

Landline—Vista and LynxPlus Series Only

Best for: Vista owners looking for an inexpensive pathway with proven central-station integration and widely recognized reliability.  Just $8.95!

Quick compatibility recap:

• AlarmNet: Works across most Honeywell systems (Vista, Lynx, ProSeries).

• Alarm.com: Vista only.

• Alula: Vista only.

• Telguard: Vista only.

Honeywell System-by-System Guide

Vista-15P / Vista-20P / Vista-21iP (Hardwired Classics)

The Vista-15P and Vista-20P are iconic hardwired panels used in countless homes and businesses. The Vista-21iP adds an onboard IP communicator, making it easier to step into network-based monitoring.

• Monitoring options:

  • Landline ($8.95/mo) — the lowest monthly price. Requires a working dial tone at the panel.

  • IP — faster signal delivery, no phone line required.

  • Cellular — resilient path that avoids cable/ISP outages; ideal if you’ve ditched copper lines.

  • Dual-path IP + Cellular — best practice for high reliability.

• App control:

  • AlarmNet/Total Connect 2.0 (All Honeywell models with compatible firmware)

  • Alarm.com (Vista-compatible communicator only)

  • Alula (Vista-compatible communicator)

  • Telguard (cellular pathway; monitoring connectivity—not an interactive services app)

• When to upgrade pathways:

  • If you currently use landline and your cable provider’s VoIP is flaky, consider IP or cellular.

  • If you want mobile app control, add an AlarmNet, Alarm.com, or Alula communicator (model depends on your exact Vista board and firmware).

  • If you’re in a location with weak cellular signal, favor IP or add an external antenna/location tweak for cellular communicators.

Installer Code note: To reprogram central-station receiver numbers or add communicators, you’ll typically need the Installer Code for Vista panels. If you don’t have it, our 7-day tech team can help with options.

Lynx Plus L3000 (All-in-One Wireless)

The L3000 is a popular all-in-one wireless panel. It’s compact, affordable, and widely installed in apartments, condos, and smaller homes.

• Monitoring options:

  • Landline ($8.95/mo) if a dial tone is available.

  • IP/cellular upgrades via the appropriate communicator (check your panel firmware and communicator compatibility).

• App control: Often via AlarmNet/Total Connect 2.0 with the right communicator.

• Why upgrade: Gain phone-line independence, faster event delivery, and remote arm/disarm from your smartphone.

---

Lynx Touch (L5210, L7000)

(You may see the mid-series model sometimes written incorrectly; the common models are L5210 and L7000.)

• Monitoring options:

  • AlarmNet IP/cellular communicators for interactive services, or landline (L5210 only) if you insist on the lowest monthly cost and have dial tone.

• App control: Total Connect 2.0 via AlarmNet communicator.

• Why owners switch: They love the touch interface but want a lower monthly bill and no contract—while keeping app control through AlarmNet.

---

ProA7Plus (ProSeries)

Honeywell’s newest mainstream wireless platform, the ProA7Plus, is a modern, touch-driven system with excellent sensor options and integration.

• Monitoring options:

  • AlarmNet IP/cellular/dual-path communicators (panel-specific).

  • Landline is not available for ProSeries (customers choose IP/cellular for speed and reliability).

• App control: Total Connect 2.0.

• Why ProA7Plus owners choose SafeHomeCentral.com: Keep the premium experience while paying far less for monitoring—and still enjoy 7-day support if you ever need help.

---

Landline vs. IP vs. Cellular (and Dual-Path): What’s Right for You?

• Landline ($8.95/mo):

  • Pros: Lowest monthly price; simple to set up on Vista and Lynx Plus systems; great if you already have legacy copper dial tone.

  • Cons: Vulnerable to cable/ISP VoIP hiccups; lines can be cut; slower signal delivery than IP.

  • Best for: Budget-first customers who want professional monitoring at the lowest possible cost.

• IP (Ethernet or Wi-Fi):

  • Pros: Fast signal delivery, leverages your home network, supports modern app features (with AlarmNet, Alarm.com, or Alula).

  • Cons: Dependent on home internet and power (a UPS battery backup helps).

  • Best for: Most homeowners who want app control and solid reliability.

• Cellular:

  • Pros: Independent of home internet; resilient during ISP outages; ideal for businesses and second homes.

  • Cons: Requires adequate signal; communicator placement matters (avoid metal enclosures/basements with poor reception).

  • Best for: Locations where reliability is critical or internet is unreliable.

• Dual-Path (IP + Cellular):

  • Pros: Highest reliability with automatic failover.

  • Cons: Slightly higher monthly cost than single-path.

  • Best for: Commercial spaces, insurance-sensitive sites, or anyone who wants the “set it and forget it” gold standard.

Remote Control & Notifications: Picking Your App Ecosystem

• Total Connect 2.0 (AlarmNet): Native for Honeywell systems, including Vista (with the right communicator), Lynx Touch, and ProSeries. Clean interface, reliable push notifications, and strong integration.

• Alarm.com (Vista only): Feature-rich app with a long track record, optional video and automation integrations, and excellent notifications.

• Alula (Vista only): Modern app, straightforward user experience, cost-effective communicator hardware for classic Vista panels.

• Telguard: Primarily transports alarm signals to the central station (cellular). You’ll monitor professionally but typically won’t have an interactive services app via Telguard alone.

If you’re unsure which app ecosystem you want, tell us your panel model and what you care about (lowest cost, most reliable, or richest features). We’ll recommend the best communicator and plan to hit your goals.

---

Coverage & Compliance: U.S., Canada, Puerto Rico

• Nationwide U.S. coverage with UL-certified central stations.

• Canada-wide coverage with Canadian UL-certified central stations for Canadian addresses—important for insurers and compliance.

• Puerto Rico is fully supported.

• Insurance certificates are issued the same day your service is set up—often unlocking meaningful premium discounts for burglary and fire protection.

Price: SafeHomeCentral.com monitoring starts at $8.95 for landline—far below the typical rates from national brands, and our IP/cellular plans are only modestly higher.

Upgrade Paths for Popular Honeywell Panels

1) Staying on Landline (Lowest Cost)

If your Vista-15P/20P or Lynx L3000 still has a working copper line and you want the absolute lowest monthly price, landline monitoring at $8.95 is unbeatable. We’ll help reprogram central-station numbers and account codes (Installer Code required).

2) Moving to IP (Great Reliability + App Control)

Add an IP communicator for your Vista, Lynx Touch, or ProA7Plus to gain fast, reliable signaling and app control (Total Connect 2.0 for AlarmNet, or Alarm.com/Alula for Vista where desired). This is the sweet spot for most homeowners—reasonable price with all the modern conveniences.

3) Going Cellular (Highest Independence)

Where internet is shaky—or you want true independence—choose cellular. It’s resilient, simple to maintain, and ideal for cabins, storefronts, and locations with frequent ISP outages. We’ll guide you on communicator placement to avoid signal issues (don’t trap a cellular radio in a metal can or in a low-signal basement).

4) Dual-Path (Best Practice)

For mission-critical protection, dual-path (IP + cellular) gives you redundancy. If IP fails, cellular takes over automatically (and vice versa). Many insurance carriers appreciate dual-path for fire and UL-grade installations.

How Switching Works (Step-by-Step)

1. Tell us your panel model (Vista-15P/20P/21iP, Lynx L3000, Lynx Touch L5210/L7000, or ProA7Plus) and your goals (lowest price, app control, cellular resilience).

2. Pick a path—landline $8.95, IP, cellular, or dual-path—and choose the app ecosystem (Total Connect 2.0, Alarm.com for Vista, or Alula for Vista).

3. Provision your account at SafeHomeCentral.com. We’ll coordinate central-station setup across the U.S., Canada, or Puerto Rico.

4. Program the panel (we provide clear instructions; Vista panels usually require the Installer Code to update receiver numbers and account info).

5. Test signals to confirm burglary, fire, and other events reach the central station.

6. Receive your insurance certificate—typically the same day service is established.

That’s it. You keep your Honeywell system, cut your monitoring bill, and skip the contract.
