Ademco 6270 Lighting Control

Can't name the outputs

Thanks Mark.

I noticed when booting up, the 6270 says something like "Receiving output descriptions" after it goes through "receiving zone descriptions", so I thought maybe a Vista 50P or 128 or 250 might support it.

Must be a "reserved for future expansion" kind of thing.

ISTR you can name them if you use a more advanced control panel. If you have a Vista-20P you cannot.

If the panel supports naming the outputs then I would think the 6270 would as well although I've not tested it on anything larger than a V-20P

Mark is Correct,

Does the 128BP support X10 output control though? That's what I'm trying to do - use the 6270 to turn lights on and off via X10. I'm doung it now with my Vista 20P, But the family is not impressed with the choice of output1 or output2. They'd rather see "Porch Lights" and "Driveway Lights"

Will the 50P do it? Looking at Compass, it seems to have the dame description and voice descriptor fields as the 128BP, but also has an X10 option in addition to relays.

Dave

The 50P won't support the 6270 but the 128BP will and does X-10, hard to find a Honeywell panel now that won't do X-10

Marc has answered accurately,

There is a 50PEN version that does support the 6270 but it belongs to ADT
