How do I get the LYNX Touch L5100 to work with Total Connect?


Last Updated: 11/18/2013

The L5100 requires a service plan and some form of internet or cellular communication to work with Honeywell's Total Connect service.


The L5100 only comes with a built-in phone dialer. Total Connect requires the system have either an internet communicator, a cellular communicator, or both. The L5100 WiFi communicator is a popular choice because it's compatible with Total Connect and allows a cellular communicator, like the GSMVLP5-4G, to be installed, for true, dual-path backup communication with central station. Using the ILP5 communicator, on the other hand, would still work with Honeywell's Total Connect Service, but it doesn't allow users to install a cellular communicator.

Once a compatible communicator is installed, the user must purchase a Total Connect Service plan.
