In this video, Michael from Alarm Grid shows you how to add a new Z-Wave device to a Honeywell Home PROA7PLUS Alarm System. This process may also be referred to as pairing or enrolling a Z-Wave device. The Honeywell Home PROA7PLUS has a PROWIFIZW module installed inside so that it can readily support Z-Wave devices. The same is also true for the Resideo PROA7PLUSC. But the other ProSeries Panels, which are the PROA7 and PROA7C, do not have the PROWIFIZW installed by default, and you must add it to one of those system is you want to use it for Z-Wave automation and smart home control. All four (4) ProSeries Panels follow the same general process for adding and deleting Z-Wave devices.
After you pair a Z-Wave device with a PROA7PLUS, you will be able to control that device from the main panel, as well as from any PROWLTOUCH or PROWLTOUCHC Keypads that have been added. Additionally, if the system is monitored with a plan that includes automation, then you will also be able to operate paired Z-Wave devices remotely from Total Connect 2.0. This can be done using a compatible web browser or a mobile app on your phone. Total connect 2.0 also allows you to create smart scene automations so that your paired Z-Wave devices can activate automatically based on a set schedule and/or with predetermined system events.
All sorts of Z-Wave devices can be paired with a PROA7PLUS or othe ProSeries Panel with a PROWIFIZW installed. Examples of Z-Wave devices you might use with the PROA7PLUS include smart lights, door locks, smart thermostats, emergency water valves, and even smart garage door controllers. It is recommended that you first clear a new Z-Wave device from a Z-Wave network before adding it in. That way, you can be sure that no residual Z-Wave network data remains inside the sensor, which is very important for ensuring successful device enrollment.

![VISTA 128BPT: Programming a Wireless Zone
In this video Griffin from Alarm Grid shows the user how to program a wireless receiver and then a wireless zone into a VISTA-128BPT panel. The steps to program a VISTA-250BPT are exactly the same. Resideo and Alarm Grid recommend using address 07 for your first RF receiver. The VISTA-128BPT can support up to two (2) receivers per system.
To address a 5881-style receiver to address 07, set dip switches 2, 3, and 4 to ON. Connect the receiver to the panels keypad bus. Enter programming (Installer Code + 8 + 000, default code is 4140) and press [#] or [*] + 93 to enter menu-driven programming. You will be prompted with several options before you reach Device Programming. Press 0 for No on each of these options. At Device Programming? Press 1 for Yes. When prompted for the device address, enter 07 and press [*].
At device type, enter 03 for RF Receiver and press [*]. At RF House Code, if you arent using any bi-directional devices such as the 5828, 5828V, or 5804BD, or 5804BDV, then you can leave this setting at 00 and press [*]. If you are using bi-directional devices, just be sure the House ID entered here matches the House ID you program into your other devices. Press [*] and you will be back at Enter Device. Press [00] [*] and at the Quit Menu Mode? prompt, press [1] + [*].
Press [#] or[*] + 93 again and this time at the Zone Programming prompt, enter 1 for Yes. Enter the zone number you wish to program then press [*]. A little-known fact is that you can program any zone as a wireless zone, even zone numbers 1 - 9. The only zone you cant program as a wireless zone is zone number 64. This is reserved for low battery supervision for wireless keypads. To move through the prompts, press [*] to move forward. If you need to return to the previous prompt, press [#]. Program the zone based on your needs, following the information shown in the video. There are a lot of options in zone programming, and some of them are only shown if you program certain prerequisites first. For that reason, we wont go into all the details here. When in doubt, refer to the FAQ linked below or the Program Guide for the VISTA-128BPT.
After you view the final summary screen, at the end of the programming for your zone, press [*] and you will be back at the Enter Zone Number prompt. If you are finished with zone programming, enter [000] + [*] and you will shown the Quit Menu Mode? prompt. Press [1] and youll be back in regular non-menu programming. Press [*] + 99 to exit programming. Be sure to test any new zones youve programmed.
