A recent firmware update to the Lyric Controller and Lyric Gateway allows support for 2GIG 345Mhz sensors, such as the 2GIG DBELL1.

This update is important because, in the past, there was no option for adding a doorbell to your Honeywell system.

The 2GIG DBELL1 is a dual purpose, water resistant doorbell with a 350-foot range, chime options and a weatherproof seal designed to provide reliable operation in poor conditions.

Following the instructions outlined in this video will allow you to pair the DBELL1 to your Lyric system. The DBELL1 can be wired into your existing electrical system, or connected wirelessly, which is a quicker and more popular option for today’s high tech central control devices.

The video describes how to pair the DBELL1 to your system wirelessly. There are many different options you’ll need to select when pairing the DBELL1 to your system.

These options allow you to control how the DBELL1 and your Lyric controller react when the doorbell is pressed.

In the video, you’ll learn the best options for pairing the DBELL1 to your system, so that it operates like a standard doorbell that will chime and/or voice announce when pressed, instead of acting as a sensor which will set off your alarm. For example, the device type for the sensor must be set to “other” to ensure that when the doorbell is pressed, it operates like a doorbell. Otherwise, it would operate similarly to a silent alarm, where the alarm company would be notified of a disturbance when the DBELL1 is pressed.

Once you’ve set the device type, the video also outlines the different options and choices you’ll have when programming how the doorbell reacts. There are several different chime options, as well as the option to voice announce the doorbell when it’s pressed. In this video, you’ll also configure other settings like whether or not the sensor is supervised, and whether or not the sensor reports to the central control center for your alarm.

The DBELL1 can be auto-enrolled just like any other sensor on the system. Auto enrollment can save you time by sending important identifying information from the sensor to the Lyric controller, as opposed to having to key in this information by hand. Once the DBELL1 is enrolled in your system, it’s almost ready for use.

Once your sensor is enrolled in your system, the video outlines how you can alter the settings for the doorbell to change chimes, volume, and voice announcements at any time. Keep in mind that if you choose to disable voice announcements for the DBELL1, you’ll also be disabling voice announcements for other sensors as well.

Once everything is set to your liking, you can mount the doorbell to the exterior of your home and begin using it. You may also choose to add additional doorbells to the other entrances of your home. Additional doorbells can be set up by following the same processes outlined in the video for the front door.
