The Honeywell Tuxedo Touch Keypad with Wifi is the hardwired keypad you would want if you wanted to add automation features to your Honeywell alarm panel.  (Or you could add the Vista Automation Module and the New Color Touchscreen Keypad instead or just add the Alarm.com LTE Module and use a standard Alpha Keypad.

It’s a talking color touchscreen keypad with integrated WIFI capability. It can be used with Total Connect but it is not compatible with ADT Pulse or ADT Command or Alarm.com. It can be used to control your security system, for home automation, for remote access, and it can even display camera video from the Honeywell Total Connect Wifi Cameras.

Additionally, it’s compatible with almost any Vista control panel that is a 15p, 20p, or 21ip.

The Tuxedo Touch can be used alone as a home automation controller without any security system. However, most people use it along with their Vista security system.

Additionally, you can control it remotely using Total Connect 2.0, or you can connect directly to the keypad via port forwarding on your router.

Its home automation capabilities with the built in Z-Wave controller are 232 Z-Wave modules.  The Tuxedo Touch is also compatible with almost any z-wave light, thermostat, door lock, and alarm.

In addition, a digital picture frame feature can be managed by end-users with the simple insertion of an SD card—letting them create cinema-quality slideshows right at the Tuxedo Touch display. You can also have a choice of white or silver/black blend with any décor.

This keypad is available in English, French Canadian and also Spanish. It also has voice annunciation of alarm status (English only).
