Honeywell Security System

The Honeywell security system must be configured to work with the Crestron Home system. Setup is performed using a Vista keypad with Alpha display (such as the Vista 6160).

NOTE: The Honeywell 4232CBM module is required in order to use Crestron Home system with a Honeywell Vista security system.

Models

The following models are supported:

  • VISTA-128FBPT
  • VISTA-128BPT
  • VISTA-128BPTSIA
  • VISTA-15P (Firmware 9.1 or higher required)
  • VISTA-15PSIA (Firmware 9.1 or higher required)
  • VISTA-20P (Firmware 9.1 or higher required)
