Honeywell Lynx R2 Programming Guide Is Up
Hello all,
I have finally posted the Honeywell Lynx R2 Programming Guide in the “pages’ section! I got a little busy and it took longer than I expected, but I think it was work the wait. AlarmSystemStore.com who generously supplied us with the simplified programming guide for this system sent it to us in DOC format so it required some re formatting before I could get it posted here on HomeSecurityGuys.org blog.
Between the time that they sent me the guide and last week they actually sent me an additional addendum for programming this system to call you directly for alarms. I did go ahead and combine this addendum to the bottom of the posted program guide. I was sceptical of this new claim since everyone else that sells this system and even Honeywell says that the Lynx R2 cannot call you directly for alarms, but I tried it out on a system last week and it works!
To my surprise not only does it call you for alarms or even trouble conditions, but you even hear the female voice of the Lynx that announces over the phone for what zone or trouble condition she is calling about! I am not sure how AlarmSystemStore.com stumbled onto this, but it is sure a big plus for the Honeywell Lynx R2 . Note, this trick does not appear to work on previous versions of the Lynx.
Very few alarm systems on the market have the capability to call you directly with a voice message of alarm. In fact, to my knowledge the GE Simon XT is the only other one that can do this out of the box, but it generally $100 more than the Honeywell Lynx R2. And to add on a voice dialer to most alarm systems also runs an extra $100. The revelation of the Lynx having this capability really makes it a much more attractive system, especially for those on a tight budget.
