Current best practice for integrating Vista 20P?


Recommended Posts

I am looking into integrating my Vista 20PSIA V10.23 security panel with Control4. I see there are two options the 4232CBM and the HSIM. Does anyone have experience with integrating either one of those? Which would be the best option with the most reliability and least issues, as I am looking into getting rid of my security keypads in general and just using Control4.

Best option is likely to replace the panel with a Qolsys with honeywell compatible wireless and a hardwire translator as needed. 😅

You will still need a keypad if you ever want to add more stuff. For example I just added from RF contacts to my Vista 15P system. I’m using the 4233CBM. Has been flawless the integration with C4.

a setup keypad could just be put by the panel for that purpose. When doing a 'no keypads on the wall' setup we usually hide one in the front door closet for back-up purposes.

Just to double check, my understanding is you can't use both TotalControl and the 4232, right? Which means, if your central station requires TC, then you're SOL and need to change providers.

Correct

If you want to use both TC and C4 with your Honeywell panel, HSIM is an option instead of the 4232. That is our setup.

Yes that’s the problem. We integrated then removed it because we need TC functionality. They should co-exist and they should be forthcoming about that.
