Honeywell VISTA-20P Ademco Control Panel, PCB in Aluminum Enclosure

Ordered as replacement for 16 y.o. ADT Safewatch Pro 2000 (rebrand of Ademco Vista 20SE). Straightforward replacement, with existing hardware leads easily matching up to same terminals. Honeywell programming and user interface are something only a mother could love. Given this is 21st century, would be nice if board had USB or wifi interface and programmability via browser, but most of these boards are sold to pros whose main value proposition is tied up in hiding the ball. Hey, Im happy to pay for quality work but original ADT install was slopped together so badly that it led to years of headaches. Enough! I am now definitively cleaning up the mess myself. Thank you Honeywell for giving DIY option so I can avoid pro turn & burn slop-meisters. But I digress. Board is very well supported, which, along with its good price, is its main selling point. As mentioned by others, head to YouTube for excellent tutorials. Looking forward to adding RF keypad and keychain FOB, and 3rd party IP board.

Worked Great

panel worked as adverstised

Priced right.

I bought this to replace a VISTA-15P that was locked to a security monitor service provider. This VISTA-20P is 100% compatible and the switch over went without a hitch. Now I switch service providers any time.

Needed to replace defective panel

Works as advertised. Additional zones and features.

Bought as a replacement for my brother in law. Great product. Very easy to use and install, especially if you are a diy type person

This product has a HUGE learning curve which is probably on purpose. The manual is completely useless. I just Googled for how-to installations and eventually found someone who wrote a guide that made pretty good sense. I used an AD2PI from AlarmDecoder and that seems to work great! Next Ill be installing OpenHAB.

Worked great
