I am extremely pleased with this alarm system. I installed it by the entry door to the garage as that is the way we enter the house normally. I pulled a power cable and phone cable up through the wall from the basement. I installed the door/window switches on the front door, garage entry door, and the patio door. I put the motion sensor in the main living room, and ordered another one for the master bed room. My house has only 4 sets of windows in the whole house and one set in the garage. They are two double hung windows, side by side, with only about 1-1/2" between them. I ordered 5 of the Honeywell 5814 low profile window sensors and put one in the middle of every window pair. I added a Honeywell magnetic reed switch contact to every one of the window sensors to catch the right side window. It made for a nice tidy installation, that is totally covered by the vertical blinds on the windows, and it does not interfere with opening and closing the blinds. I purchased two Honeywell 5853 glass break sensors, and put one in the center of the living room, and one in the bedroom, both mounted on the ceiling. These glass break sensors will sense glass breakage from up to 25 feet away. By carefully placing them where I did, it will cover the glass from the living room windows, the patio door, and even the side lites by the front door. I also purchased the Honeywell FG-701 glass break tester to test the glass breakage sensors.Next I purchased the Z-wave module and the wireless internet module. I installed them, and found a reasonably priced monitoring company called AlarmRelay.com that will monitor the system via internet for $13.95/month, and give me total connect so I can see what is going on via my android phone. They will monitor for $8.95/month via land line, but I do not have a land line here. So far, I have added a Honeywell thermostat model YTH8320ZW1007/U to the system with the Z-wave interface, and it automatically turns my heat down on the week days at 10:30 at night. It turn it back up at 5:30 so when I climb out of bed at 6:00, the house will be nice and warm. It again turns it down when I leave for work, and at 4:00, when I leave work, it turns the heat back up so I have a warm house to arrive home to. I purchased two GE 45614 Z-wave 3-way switches and connect one to my outside garage lights, and one to my Kitchen lights. I set them up so the outside garage lights will come on at 5:30 PM if the system is Armed Away, and turn off at 12:30 if I don't come home to turn them off. The kitchen lights come on when I open the side door to dis-arm the alarm, so I am not walking into a dark house.I had a local alarm company give me a quote awhile back for a system, and they wanted $850 for the system and $20/month for monitoring. I think I got a better deal by doing it myself, and it is much more expandable. The local alarm company would certainly not tie in the lights and thermostat, and it was a bare bones system that they were quoting. I can not speak yet for battery life for the sensors, but if Honeywell's claims are correct, I should not have to worry about it for several years. The glass break sensors have two batteries in them, all other sensors have just one. It looks like Honeywell thought of just about everything when they designed this system. One more thing, I have the system programmed to call my cell phone in the event that it alarms. My phone line is through the internet, using Ooma, and although the system is monitored, I like to get a call if it is triggered, which so far it has not, but I did test that feature. I live out in the country, and my internet service is wireless, with an antenna on my roof, pointing to a transmitting tower about 4 miles down the road. That is the best I can get out here. I am an electrical engineer, and researched several systems before deciding on this Lynx Touch system and I think my research paid off. My final comment is yes, I would buy this system again, and recommend it to anyone looking for a high class wireless alarm system for a DIY type person.

Seems to be a reliable system but...
By JV
As a DIY person I've installed a couple of a GE Simon XT systems. These are very easy and straightforward to install. I decided to try the Honeywell Lynx 5100 to see if the sensors were more reliable that then ones of the GE product (high sensor failure rates ). This may end up being a good system but, for a do it yourself person, this is horrendous. The kit comes with a one page quick installation guide that is hopelessly lacking. It also comes with a programming guide that is more a default table of settings than a real installation guide. I had to search online for the real installation guide but this one seemed to be developed by the same person who developed the other guides, quite lacking.Installing the system is straight forward once you spend hours figuring out what is what. Ex; a "zone" is really a sensor. So when you are programming "zones" you are not really programming a zone but a sensor. Everything with the installation guide is similar. The system has no direct output for an external siren so you have to add on either a wireless siren or a wireless relay to connect a wired siren (good luck with the installation guide for that one).Seems everything with this system is an add-on. Wireless modules, IP modules, phone jack module, even this "Kit" comes without a wire to connect to the external power adapter (at least they included the power adapter).Once programmed the Lynx 5100 seems to work OK though, thanks to a very confusing manual, I don't think I'm taping to all the capabilities of this system.

diy direct internet
By ladyblue
only Honeywell gives you the direct not just the wireless option. u need to pre-wire for power and cat 5 with internet module. only a few monitoring companies will use it without requiring u to buy their module.good manuals, a lot of options for expansion just know u must use Honeywell cameras or their camera adapter for total connect (spent a good 3-4 days trying to set up camera with alarm company until they realized total connect couldn't use my non-Honeywell camera). even with direct internet Total Connect is slow to connect and react over 3g from cellphone.the use/programming is well thought out and laid out on the very responsive touch-pad, can be used with/without monitoring but many settings are not fully explained and only understood by a commercial installer. to understand every option will take some time.sensors extremely easy to install and work reliably at 75 feet at least. can turn off many functions like beeping or audible alarms and bypass/turn off sensors if you want to leave a window open etc. kind of pricey but i saved a lot by installing it myself without the extra module required by the monitoring companies and now i have cellular and pots backup. 5 stars if total connect was more responsive and if it could use any ip camera.
