If I already have a Honeywell Vista 21ip installed can I add this device myself or does it require a professional install to get it working?

It's easy to add to a 21iP, but you need to know the addressees of other keypads. The instructions that come with the device tell which addresses are reserved for video keypads. If you need more info write again. I've done this plenty.

I installed theTUXWIFIS myself. It has the same wiring as a normal keypad and hooked up in a matter of minutes.

you can definitely added it yourself. Remove one of the keypads you want to replace and remove the wires and add new keypad. I think you will have to program the new keypad into the system. I don't remember since it has been a long time. You must have a programming keypad (that's why you must have more than 1 keypad before you replace it)

I think you an install it yourself. I also had similar setup with vista 21ip. I simply disconnected the old console and connected TUXWIFI.

You can use it as a local alarm and home automation device, but then you lose the ability to control and program it over the web. Also, you are not alerted when you get an alarm (an exception might be if you had a land line to your house but I'm not certain). Basically, to get the functionality you'll want out of this device, you need it to be able to access it through the web. The only way to access it through the web is to go through Honeywell's Total Connect website. The only way to get access to Honeywell's Total Connect website is through a vender who will charge you for monitoring.

Yes. You need the gateway to make this device work. You can add the garage door later. No yearly fees. It's great.

I had mine professionally installed, but after installation, there is a setup wizard that walks you through the setup very simply.

The onboard IP Communicator is a wired internet connection that allows the Vista-21ip to communicate and be managed via the Honeywell AlarmNet network. The Vista-GSM4G is an add-on board that allows the same communications capability, but over a cellular connection rather than over a wired internet connection. You can use either wired connection (on-board Ethernet port), cellular connection (via GSM4G), or both (e.g. wired, with cellular as backup) to allow communication and management via the Honeywell AlarmNet network.

Honeywell only, and even then it is for doorbells marked as Compatability E. If you go to yourhome.honeywell.com and type model number RPWL300A into the 'smart search' box this will give you the specs and manual for this item. I have no idea why the Compatability letter is not part of the description.

This is for commercial use only. Honeywell customer support won't help you if you install in your home.

I could be a replacement for an earlier model. Go to Honeywell and put in the model you have and you should be able to cross reference it.

Lorenzo, As per our previous reply, we would recommend the Honeywell Vista-20P. You will also need a keypad for that system, we recommend the Honeywell 6162 keypad.

You can fully use the Tuxedo keypad with either the Vista-20P or the Vista-21iP controllers. The only difference is that the 21iP has a built-in IP communicator which must be purchased separately on the 20P. They are otherwise identical.

I often install these and own EliteSmartHome.com. We do many security install a year with the vista 20. It does not support RF right out of the box. You would need to add a wireless receiver.

In the setup menu there is an option to add it to the network. I have the ADT Pulse and it connected quickly & easily w/ the thermostat...

I have it setup with a Honeywell Vista Panel and using the Vera Lite with the EVL-3 plugin. It works well, turns all my Honeywell wired and wireless sensors into Vera sensors that then can be used with scenes. One thing you cant seem to do is actually arm or disarm the honeywell panel when using Vera Modes (UI7) or geofencing. I'd like to be able to create a scene that locks my doors, set down the thermostats, sets the correct lighting and arm my alarm system. I can do everything except the alarm system arming, which I have to do manually via Vera for now. Just seems like this should be an easy do and a feature many would want.

You would need the software on the Vista 20P to be revision 5 or higher in order for the TUXWIFI to work.

You can, but I would recommend getting the RPLS740b instead, since you only need single pole. Honeywell DOES NOT HONOR their WARRANTY on the PLS series (incl PLS 750c) unless you work through an electrical contractor, despite the warranty making no mention of that fact. PLS is their Pro line that's meant to be purchased from and installed/troubleshot by your electrical contractor, RPLS is Retail/Consumer/DIY line, so they do honor their warranty for the DIYer on the RPLS line. I wonder if PLS is even supposed to be available through other than a contractor. Only reason to go w/the PLS 750c is if you need 3-way or 21 program slots.
