Description

The Honeywell Lyric WIFI-Only 3-1 Kit comes with a Lyric Panel, three (3) VERSA-2GIG Door/Window Sensors, one (1) SiXPIR, and the LT-Cable. This 3-1 alarm system kit is perfect for users with smaller homes or apartments who are looking to get started with new alarm monitoring service.

The Lyric Alarm System remains one of the top-selling alarm panels available, despite the fact that it was released in 2016. The system is frequently praised for its sleek and modern appearance, and its easy-to-navigate user interface (UI). You can conveniently operate and control the system by using its seven-inch (7") touchscreen controller. We're sure that you will love the Lyric System and how well it fits in with the rest of your home or office.

When you see an Alarm Grid System Kit listed as 3-1, it means that the system comes with three (3) door and window sensors and one (1) motion detector. With this kit in particular, you get three (3) VERSA-2GIG Door and Window Contacts and one (1) Honeywell SiXPIR Motion Sensor. The VERSA-2GIG Sensors are non-encrypted 345 MHz wireless sensors that are known for their sleek design and easy installation. As for the SiXPIR, it is an encrypted sensor that offers a coverage area of up to 40 feet by 56 feet when mounted at the optimal height of 7.5 feet. It also provides optional pet immunity for animals weighing up to 80 lbs. You must observe the proper mounting guidelines for pet immunity to work.

One great thing about the Lyric is that it has ample space for expansion. There are 128 wireless zones on the system for adding new sensors. You can use encrypted sensors from the Honeywell SiX Series, as well as non-encrypted 345 MHz sensors, such as those from the Honeywell 5800 Series (uni-directional only) and the 2GIG 345 MHz Series. After you get the sensors enrolled, you will most likely want to get the system monitored. With this kit, you are ready to go for IP-only monitoring. This is good if you want your monitoring costs to be as low as possible. Just keep in mind that without cellular backup, the Lyric will not stay monitored during internet outages. If you decide you want to add cellular service later, then we recommend getting an LTE cellular communicator. The options for the Lyric include the Honeywell LYRICLTE-A and the Honeywell LYRICLTE-V. You can also get one of our Lyric System Kits that come with a cellular communicator. Don't forget that you will need to get a cellular monitoring plan if you decide to upgrade to cellular.

Getting the Lyric monitored will connect it with AlarmNet. This network forwards incoming alerts and notifications to a central station and/or to the end-user directly via text and/or email when Total Connect 2.0 is added. You may choose to get a monitoring plan that includes access to Total Connect 2.0. This will allow you to control your system remotely from a web browser or a mobile app on your smartphone. By accessing TC2, you can arm and disarm, check current system status, control automation devices, and more. But one very important consideration with TC2 is that setting up your Lyric System with the platform will eliminate the ability to program smart scenes locally. This is an unfortunate side effect that occurs even if the TC2 service does not include any automation. You can sort of work around this issue by creating local smart scenes before setting the system up with a Total Connect 2.0 account. To do this, you must enroll all of the necessary Z-Wave devices and then actually build the scenes using the panel's touchscreen. Remember that if your TC2 service includes automation, then you can instead create scenes remotely through the TC2 platform. It is only local smart scene creation that becomes lost.

The Lyric is often highly praised for its automation offerings. With the system's built-in Z-Wave card, you can pair devices like smart lights, door locks, thermostats, and more. Paired Z-Wave devices can be operated locally at the Lyric Panel or remotely through TC2 if the user has a monitoring plan that includes automation services. You can also build smart scenes so that your Z-Wave devices activate automatically based on a set schedule or with predetermined system events. Just make sure to consider that local scene creation is lost once the system is paired with TC2. Another huge benefit of the Lyric is that it has an awesome Apple HomeKit integration that allows you to build HomeKit Automations that include the Lyric System and other HomeKit devices. You can have your HomeKit devices activate automatically with events on the Lyric, and you can even control your Lyric remotely using spoken Siri Voice Commands through HomeKit. But one consideration for the Lyric is that it does not have HomeKit compatibility enabled by default, and you must get the system monitored before it can support the HomeKit feature.

You also get a Honeywell LT-Cable with this kit that you can use to connect the Lyric Panel with its included transformer. Wall-mounting hardware for the system is also included. The only other thing you might want to buy as an add-on is a table stand for positioning the panel upright if it is left on a desk, table, or countertop, instead of being wall-mounted. The system has a great desk stand option called the Honeywell LCP500-DK Lyric Controller Desk Stand. Using this table stand will allow you to complete the full system installation using only a screwdriver.

Hi, Please email us at support@alarmgrid.com so we can better assist you.
Hello I have a Honeywell Lynx 300 with 5 wireless sensors, working very well since 7 years ago I want to upgrade just the panel with ones capable to support connection through WiFi and to be controlled away from my cellular, without a 3rd party service. I would like to remain on Honeywell brand but let me know my options
I am interested in wifi-only 3-1 kit. I'm living in Netherlands and don't need monitoring for that. I do like the Homekit integration. When I buy the set from alarmgrid can I get the firmware update for Homekit installed? Or the option to do the upgrade myself?
You'll be able to use this system without pairing it to monitoring service or homekit. Please feel free to review our FAQ on this: https://www.alarmgrid.com/faq/can-i-use-a-lyric-security-system-w-slash-o-monitoring
I am interested in the system however I what no plan and for it to integrate will all of the Homekit sensors I already have. I am basically looking for an un-monitored key pad and siren.
The panel will alert you if the door is open or closed but does not open and close the door for you.
My means it can be control door open/close~ thank you
If you mean does it monitor doors if it's open or closed. The answer is yes, as long as you have the sensors programmed correctly.
Has it opens door funtion?
The same with Zigbee as of now.
ok hopefully it could be done via software update only. What about ZigBee?
Unfortunately no, there aren't any additional Z-wave hubs to integrate with the Honeywell Lyric. There might be firmware updates in the future to make that possible.
Thank you. Changing the DC power source is not really a big deal. I went and bought a whole Lyric kit now and awaiting delivery to play with it. One thing I noticed now for z wave is that the frequency band used for the lyric works in USA standards which seem to cause interference with the mobile networks here. This means that I could not use the zwave devices straight onto the Lyric. Is there a way to make the Lyric support a different zwave band either by software or hardware additions? Also, is there a way to make the Lyric support ZigBee by any software/hardware addition?
Yes you can setup the Lyric Controller outside the USA and setup the Total Connect 2.0 app service via WIFI. The only thing you will need to consider is getting the proper power adapter. The Lyric comes with the following transformer: https://www.alarmgrid.com/products/honeywell-300-04705 and it must be used to offer the 9VDC power to the panel. You will need to find a converter where you can plug in the american standard 2-prong transformer. Unfortunately we do not carry them at this time.
hi, will the lyric system work ok on other countries outside of USA and Canada? I am interested in using them in New Zealand only for self monitoring with wifi and mobile app.
Yep, it can communicate over WIFI out of the box. There is also a Rogers cellular communicator that can be installed in the system for cellular communication.
Will this system work in Canada?
Yes you can and we can help! If you're looking to self monitor, but still want to be able to control the system remotely and get notified if the alarm is tripped, I suggest checking out our self plans: https://www.alarmgrid.com/monitoring
Can I use this system for self monitoring?
Thanks for the info! Appreciate everyones help on this. Going to pull the trigger on this system.
Nope, you can get alarm monitoring service right through AlarmGrid for a Honeywell system.
Makes sense... thank you for that. Do Honeywell systems require monitoring through them or can I use the service AlarmGrid offers?
Honeywell offers a difference in price between an IP only system, and one that communicates using cellular. Alarm.com does not. That's what he meant, if you choose equipment that uses Alarm.com, you must go with Gold or Self Gold at a minimum.
I was actually looking at your plans, as your internet only plan seems reasonable. I guess I don't understand what you mean on the alarm.com side. Does this change your opinion of which system I should get or are you partnered with Alarm.com in some way?
We have heard the Lyric may eventually offer Alexa integration but we aren't sure when. We are fairly certain that Alarm.com won't be discounting IP only plans, the way that Honeywell/AlarmNet does, so if you don't intend to use cellular monitoring because you want one of the less expensive IP only plans, that would be a reason to stay away from any panel that supports Alarm.com and use a Honeywell system instead.
So I am between the 2GIG GC3 and this unit. I read in another post, you recommend the 2GIG for Echo integration, and personally I think I would prefer that unit.... HOWEVER: I also want to do internet monitoring (versus cell) which I don't think is supported by 2GIG yet? Any info you could provide would be appreciated. Thanks,
Here are the compatibles for the Lyric: https://www.alarmgrid.com/products/honeywell-lyric-controller/compatible. There are specific sections for Z-Wave devices. We do not have information for Amazon Echo integration with the Lyric at this time. If you are looking for that integration I recommend going with the 2GIG GC3 instead: https://www.alarmgrid.com/products/2gig-gc3-345. Alarm.com (the platform used by the GC3) already supports Alexa devices...
Is there a hardare compatibility list for which Z-wave products are compatible with this controller? Also, do you know if it has integration into Amazon Echo yet? Thanks!
The Lyric is not HomeKit ready. Honeywell has plans to offer this integration but we do not have any exact dates.
Is this Lyric controller certified as Apple Homekit ready?
No, we don't do anything that would prevent you from using a system you buy from us with another company, even if you do activate it with us originally. If/when you ever cancel, we would just cancel the account with Honeywell and you'd be able to use the system with any other company that supports the Lyric system.
Do the Honeywell Lyric controllers you sell have any firmware or other restrictions that will preclude me from switching to a different monitoring service some day? I am thinking of moving to mars some day and would want to use a local monitoring service and don't want to purchase another controller.
We're unable to make substitutions in kits, but you can certainly add another SIXCT.
i am interested in this set however can i swap the keyfob for another SIXCT ? i have no use for the keyfob.
