12/27/2022 0 Comments Honeywell galaxy touchcenter plus![]() ![]() Was the Honeywell Vista range ever sold in the UK? I thought British Gas at one point rebadged it and therefore one would have expected to find some parts suppliers. So far the only options I found are imports from the US. I therefore found this thread when searching for any options to get a Honeywell Vista panel in the UK. I have been considering a DSC PowerSeries with its touch panel even though it is also ancient technology and not supported by UK 'security' companies - it can at least be obtained in the UK, but its touch screen whilst slightly better than the Honeywell TouchCentre is still inferior to the Honeywell 6290W screen. If they added a decent Touchscreen - which I have asked them to do then they might be a worthy candidate. ![]() Note: Texecom now seem to have an API via which one can do some integrations but their keypads reach new lows of ghastliness. Whilst the excuse for UK alarm systems refusing to integrate in general with other products can be justified slightly on security grounds, using such primitive and ugly keypads has no excuse especially when as is the case here Honeywell's US operations do offer far superior options. (Unfortunately these forums do not seem to have the vomit emoji otherwise that would fully reflect the hideousness of UK alarms.) ![]() One would even have to cover it with a towel to avoid being embarrassed to your guests who might otherwise wonder at your appalling lack of taste. So hideous are current products that one would almost prefer being robbed than to be afflicted with the butt ugly keypads UK systems come with and that you would have to walk past every day. The only current one in the UK I have found that comes even close is the Satel Integra with their touch screen although the graphics are rather primitive. I have to agree with ecs0set all current UK alarm systems are afflicted with appallingly primitive interfaces (keypads) this includes so called modern smart alarm systems even those from new Internet style startups such as Ring. ![]()
