Honeywell HONEYWELL TUXEDOW HONEYWELL TUXEDOW (Open Box)

The reason you would want the TuxedoW touchscreen alarm keypad with zwave is so you can set up zwave automations using the alarm door/window/motion sensors and/or the alarm status from your Honeywell / Ademco Vista alarm panel. But the zwave controller may not be capable enough to do what you want. For example, you can switch a zwave-controlled light switch on from motion detection from an alarm motion sensor and have it switch off on a timer or other event. But the logic capabilities are too limited to integrate the sensor and switch well enough to make it behave like a competent occupancy sensor/switch; like reset the off timer if motion continues to be detected. At least I couldn’t figure out how to do it. A real home automation hub, like Hubitat, has built-in occupancy sensor logic. If you want to give a home automation controller access to alarm and sensor status, Konnected makes an alarm panel interface that will create that bridge through your home network. It is a nice touch screen alarm keypad to replace/supplement your existing keypad attached to your Honeywell Vista alarm system. But get the non-zwave alarm panel 6290W, a Hubitat and a Konnected alarm panel interface instead. If you only want one-way communication from the alarm panel, then you DO need this TuxedoW plus at least 2 Zooz zwave relay/sensor combos with the outputs of one connected to the inputs of the other and one Zooz connected to TuxedoW zwave network and the other connected to the Hubitat or other home automation controller zwave network to get the two zwave controllers to “talk” to each other. See Hubitat forums. You might also be able to give your home automation controller access to your alarm status/sensors through the paid Total Connect service. But if that is possible, your automations would be dependent on your internet connection.
