I just switched over my Vista panel from ADT to Surety ADC. I’d like to add a few windows sensors to my setup, but I’m not sure how to figure out what sensors I should buy. Am I just looking for any Alarm.com sensors or am I trying to find some that are compatible with my Vista System panel?
Is there a guide somewhere for compatibility reference?
Your wireless alarm sensors would need to be compatible with your alarm panel and its wireless RF radio.
The Honeywell Vista RF transmitters support 345Mhz Honeywell sensors. The Honeywell 5800 series sensors are compatible. 5800 Series sensors are included on their wireless sensor list here. Six series sensors are a different incompatible RF.
A common door/window option is the Honeywell 5800MINI
That seems straight forward enough, I actually see the existing sensors I have in that list.
I’ve been reviewing the programming manual for the Honeywell Vista panel. I’m a bit lost on how these get programmed. My lack of experience here is showing 
Any guidance on how to program these sensors?
No worries, you can find a guide to programming the Vista panel here:
Thank you, ordered a few of the 5800MINI’s we’ll see how it goes I’ll report back if I have any trouble.
