Ron in the shop -DIY monitoring for Honeywell Lynx Touch alarm system with a Magicjack

If you don't wish to pay an alarm company to monitor your alarm so that basically they can call you to tell you your alarm has gone off, you can monitor it yourself. The Lynx Touch connected to a magic jack will call you with a voice warning that your alarm has sounded and which zone was triggered. It can also tell you things like low battery trouble on the main control and on each of the transmitters. If you use this for your business it can call you to tell you when your employees arm or disarm the alarm. A call in the middle of the night that user 4 just turned off the alarm, might save you from an unexplained loss! Note: I was asked about using other voip providers such as Ooma. Yes any telephone service that uses a standard phone connection will work. The L5200 requires you to actually connect the wires to a terminal strip on the main control board, but L7000 does not connect to telephone lines.

Will this work on Honeywell Vista systems?

Unfortunately the L7000 can not connect to a standard phone line so this will not work with a L7000 but it will work with the L5200. The voip service really doesn't matter since the alarm is going to be making a voice call very similar to any regular phone call . My anveo voip service works good enough that I can also arm and disarm the alarm remotely using the phone.

Dope not bad can you upload a video showing how to program it for landline

[@roboalarms2467]

it programs exactly the same for a landline as for a Voip, such as Magicjack. Simply program in the phone number you wish it to dial.
