Following along so far, good stuff :) What do you recommend for someone like myself who needs more zones... is there a way to expand the Vista-20P (or is there another/better model)?
@@NM_Tech - Okay, awesome! Which would you think is easier for a 1st-timer? And where do you recommend buying gear (like panel, motion sensors, fire, keypads, etc.) I prefer higher quality equipment over budget-friendly equipment. Thanks!
Honeywell equipment is solid quality and more easier to work with than some others. DSC would probably be higher quality equipment but as far as I know, not as easy to learn especially if you’re just beginning. I would recommend the Honeywell Vista 20P or similar models(15P, 10P, 21IP) as I worked with in this series of videos. Usually eBay you can get this equipment new or second hand for decent prices.
To add on, I’m sure you could even get some DSC sensors and still wire it up to a Honeywell panel. Conventional hardwired devices like those would work with any conventional hardwired panel.
@@NM_Tech - Love it, thanks so much! Super helpful! I'm using your videos + ChatGPT + like 50+ other tabs to do supporting research. I think leaning full Honeyell is likely the best route based and what you said. I think a 21P panel is a solid choice. I might hire a local installer to teach/install with me. That would be the best for learning. Do you have any recommendations for connecting the 21P to HomeAssistant?

The Honeywell 4219 zone expander for the vista. Or use a zone doubling kit(two different value resistors).

Hello. DO you happen to know who to get the Vista-20 to send a status report once a day or once a week?
Do you have access to the Vistas manual? Yes there is a way. It’s one of the star codes in programming, just don’t remember exactly which one
Why did you delete the video “My Honeywell Vista 20P security system”?
Because I want to remaster it
