Overview
Honeywell wireless or wired sensor — initiating device supervised by a compatible VISTA, Lynx, ProSeries, or Lyric system.
On Honeywell systems, wireless devices are supervised zones on the panel — tamper, low battery, and missing signals appear as trouble conditions that may block arming depending on panel programming.
