Puts an existing Interlogix Simon XT or XTi panel on Alarm.com, so the customer keeps the panel and the sensors already installed and gains app control, remote arming and notifications. On a takeover that is a module and an afternoon instead of a full system replacement.
Built for the alarm installer
This is the dual-path variant, so the module reports over both AT&T LTE cellular and broadband Ethernet. Signals go down both paths and the server acts on whichever arrives first, which cuts signal time and removes the single point of failure a cellular-only install carries.
A Z-Wave Plus controller is built in, so locks, lighting and thermostats can be added to a legacy Simon panel without another hub on the wall.
Standby draw is 30 mA, or 10 mA in PowerSave mode, but transmit peaks at 1.7 A. That peak is the number to check against the panel supply and battery, because a tired battery that holds up under standby load can still fail on a transmit burst.
Key features
- Keeps the existing Simon panel and sensors, avoiding a full replacement
- Dual path over cellular and Ethernet
- Z-Wave Plus controller built in for locks, lighting and thermostats
- PowerSave mode drops standby to 10 mA, which matters on battery standby time
- Compact at 4.06 by 1.87 in to fit inside the existing panel housing
System requirements
Requires an Interlogix Simon XT at version 1.3 or later, or a Simon XTi, and 6V from the panel. Confirm the panel supply and battery can deliver the 1.7 A transmit peak. Ethernet is required for the second path.
