Is There an AUI Keypad For The Lyric Security System?

In this video Jarrett explains whether or not there is an AUI keypad for the Honeywell Lyric System. At this time, there is no official AUI keypad for the system. But the Lyric Panel itself is technically an AUI controller. A user can also use the My Home Controller App on a tablet as an AUI keypad.

AUI stands for "Advanced User Interface". Simply put, an AUI keypad refers to a keypad that users a touchscreen. Unfortunately, Honeywell has not yet released an official AUI keypad that is compatible with the system. As of this writing, the only official external keypad for the Honeywell Lyric is the Honeywell LKP500. This keypad uses push-button commands, and it features a text-based display screen. It is perfectly suitable as a secondary system keypad. However, it is not an AUI device.

But Lyric users who want an AUI controller should not panic! There are other viable options available for Lyric System owners who want touchscreen operation and control. First and foremost, the Lyric System itself is technically considered an AUI keypad. It features touchscreen control, and all operation can be performed directly from the all-in-one wireless panel. That is why the Lyric System itself serves as the perfect primary controller for the system.

If a user wants a secondary AUI keypad, they actually have a rather unique option. They can use an Android Tablet or an iPad and download the My Home Controller App. They can use the app to sync their Lyric Panel and have an identical display screen appear on the tablet. Many users will then mount the tablet to the wall and use it as a secondary controller. This way, the tablet itself will become a secondary AUI keypad for the Lyric System.

Although there is no true AUI keypad for the Lyric, there actually have been Honeywell AUI Keypads released for the older Honeywell VISTA Series of hardwired panels. These AUI keypads include the Honeywell Tuxedo Touch, the Honeywell 6280 and the Honeywell 6270.
