I have the Simon XT, is this DIY or will I need a technician to install?

can you name each sensor with a Specific room name, i.e. Master Bedroom.Will console with speaker announce or say the exact name of the door with sensor that just opened? like "MASTER BEDROOM OPEN or KITCHEN DOOR OPEN"?"

If you're somewhat tech savvy, then it should be pretty easy to install. The instructions that come with it or pretty self explanatory. This was the second one I've installed on the same system.

All depends how handy are you, I did it myself and it only took about 5 minutes. Just make sure you have the installer code for your system...

If you can add a sensor you can add this to your system. If you dont have the password to do so your monitoring company should have it. This has a plug in wall transformer with back up batteries to power it. It will not run long on the batteries so it needs to go someplace you can plug it in. I mounted above an outlet, poked hole in drywall and ran the cord in the drywall and back out behind the plate over the outlet.

If you have all the access codes for your Simon XT panel, then you can do it yourself. I remember having no significant issues, but I have installed many sensors into my Simon XT.

It can be easy to install--no different than adding a sensor. The only trick is that it has a power supply with a large transformer (black box plug) on it, which will need to be plugged in somewhere. If you are OK with a cord hanging down, no big deal. A little trickier if you want to conceal the transformer (I ran it into my attic through the wall and plugged it in up there)

This is completely DIY, I did it within about 30 minutes and the service provider walked me through and verified proper setup in only about 10 minutes. Easy and works excellent.

Both Simon XT and Simon XTi have two (2) hard-wired zones. Please let us know if you need additional information. 24inControl

I really can't answer that but I can tell you there is absolutely no tech support for self installation. I like Bull Dog better.

It's easier to install than others I've ever used. And you can find the instruction inside the package. Good luck~~

You need to improvise your own installation. How can the manufacturer anticipate all of the installation variations? If you can't figure it out, hire someone to do the installation for you.

Julie.......I asked the same question to the vendor, but unfortunately up til now, I haven't heard any response from them. My suggestion to you is to think outside the box, you have to be imaginative on how to install it.

I am not sure what your question is. I followed the directions and installed it myself.

I had a professional do my installation, however, I did watch him do the install. All parts specific to the device were with it in the box. Very good unit.

The package includes everything you'll need to install it other than a few simple tools like perhaps needle nose pliers, screw drivers, etc. I think your biggest problem will be locating a good location to mount the transmitter which should be in a secure location that is NOT enclosed by metal.

You need to hire or find someone who can read the wiring diagram that came with the unit. Sorry, don't mean to sound short, but it was pretty easy for me. Can't give you a step by step through this text box.

I have a 2012 SG and I needed 10 ga. Wiring for hot and ground. I bought wire and connectors and made them up myself with a fusible link cheaper than buying a wiring kit. Also check out hd forum and look for ultranutz, he has all the answers and can furnish a step by step process for hooking everything up. Everything I got from him was spot on. Worked perfectly.

The tools are included, the instructions are available on YouTube not included with item. It is time consuming to install but if you are experienced with working on small sensitive electronics it should not be too difficult; it gets a bit frustrating at times working with the tiny screws so give yourself some time and be patient also take a break halfway through and you should be fine...good luck! &#128522;

Search on github.com for bdahlem/device-type.zxt-120. An ST community forum member has created a custom device type and code that you can use to get it running under ST.

Yes it is very easy to install, but you will need the year, make and model wiring harness as well.
