Just compared the Honeywell Vista vs the Qolsys IQ panel on a big install

I swapped out a dying Vista panel for a Qolsys IQ Panel 2 on a 40-zone house in Phoenix last week and the difference in setup speed was night and day. The Qolsys programed in about 2 hours vs the 5 I'd normally budget for a Vista with all those wired zones. Has anyone else made the switch and run into any weird compatibility issues with older wired sensors?

That's the thing about technology nowadays, once you get past the learning curve the new stuff just works faster and smoother than the old reliable stuff in almost every area of life.

Wireless printers still have a learning curve that's more like a brick wall lol
