5881ENH - Ademco Wireless Receiver

My installation required wireless fields. Im so happy we decided on this item.. Im cover outside around the pool area and front yard. Great range ! Nice price. Rapid shipping.

Worked well for its intended purpose.

I received this receiver in August and was staging it for an install that was waiting on construction to be completed. When I went to install it, it wouldn’t power up. Dead out of the box. I removed the circuit board from the case and observed the circuit board had corrosion and stickers that appeared to be worn and used. Now that I can’t return the product after Sep 27th, I basically purchased “BAD” faulty used equipment and wasted my money. I should have purchased the product from the appropriate Honeywell distrivution channels. In this case, trying to save a few extra bucks costs me a lot more than purchasing from Honeywell distribution channels.

No problem with installation. Had a bit of trouble with initial programming, but a couple of minutes with tech support and I was up and running. It is working great so far. I do not pay for any monitoring, and get text messages for needed occurrences.

Everything was perfect

I got this to replace an 8 channel Ademco Tx/Rx of the same type. This was a simple install, basically a plug and play with no issues whatsoever. Of course, the channels had to be adjusted, but once that was done, this works like a charm. I have no facts, but this SEEMS to have a bit longer range as I can use my key fob further from the house than I could with the older unit. Again, I did not measure it, it just seems to have greater spread of the signal.

Basically Plug and play

Simple, integrates well into the Vista system.

Works as advertised and arrived on time. Easy to install and works well with keyfob.

This neat little wireless receiver was a no-nonsense DIY addition to my DIY Honeywell Vista 20 home alarm system, so that I could add wireless smoke alarms to my system--crucial for Homeowners Insurance discount!
