Will a Honeywell Z-Wave Thermostat Work w/ a Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus?

Yes, a Honeywell Z-Wave Thermostat will work with a Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus. The Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus has a built-in Z-Wave controller that allows it to support Z-Wave thermostats. By pairing a Z-Wave thermostat with an IQ Panel 2 Plus, you can control it from the panel and from Alarm.com.

In order to use Z-Wave devices, you need a compatible Z-Wave controller. A Z-Wave controller is a central hub that all the Z-Wave devices in the Z-Wave network communicate with. The Z-Wave controller must be able to send and receive Z-Wave signals to work properly. Many alarm panels have built-in Z-Wave controllers, effectively allowing these devices to be used as smart home controllers. The IQ Panel 2 Plus comes with a Z-Wave Plus controller built inside, making it perfect for home automation.

When it comes to Z-Wave devices, manufacturer isn't super important for determining compatibility. Regionalized Z-Wave signals will all operate at the same frequency, and any Z-Wave device from that region will work with any Z-Wave controller from the same region. As long as you are talking about Honeywell Z-Wave Thermostats designed for use in North America, there is no reason why these devices won't work with a Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus System. The IQ Panel 2 Plus is specifically designed to support Z-Wave signals from North America. While Honeywell didn't specifically manufacture their Z-Wave thermostats with the IQ Panel 2 Plus in mind, they will certainly work just fine.

If you are looking for a good Honeywell Z-Wave Thermostat to use with a Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus, then we personally recommend the Honeywell T6 Pro Z-Wave Plus Thermostat. This thermostat is perfect for DIY users, as it can be used without a common power "C-Wire". This allows a user to complete the installation without having to configure high-voltage wires. The device is very easy to enroll with the IQ Panel 2 Plus System, and end users will appreciate its intuitive and clean design. This is the ideal smart thermostat to get if you are looking to add heating and cooling functionality to your new or existing smart home.

Regardless of which Honeywell Z-Wave Thermostat you use with your IQ Panel 2 Plus System, pairing the device with your Z-Wave network will offer several advantages. For one, you will be able to control the temperature from both the thermostat itself and from your IQ Panel 2 Plus System. And if you have an alarm monitoring plan with access to Alarm.com, you can also control your Honeywell Z-Wave Thermostat from the Alarm.com platform. Alarm.com can be conveniently accessed from its website or remotely using the Alarm.com Mobile App on Android and iOS devices. You can even use the T6 Pro with Alarm.com smart scenes for automatic operation based on a set schedule or with certain predetermined system events.
