Honeywell Joins Crestron’s Integrated Partner Program

  • May 06, 2010

Honeywell recently announced it has joined the Crestron Electronics Inc. Integrated Partner Program.

Honeywell’s participation means security installers can integrate enhanced models of the company’s popular VISTA alarm panels into any home or business controlled by a Crestron automation system. The enhanced VISTA product range includes the VISTA 128BPE/250BPE Rev 4.0 and higher burglary panels, and the VISTA 128FBP/250FBP fire burglary panels.

Crestron is a manufacturer of advanced control and automation systems that supports security, audio/video, HVAC, lighting and other controlled devices. The company’s Integrated Partner Program includes several leading manufacturers from diverse markets. Its open platform approach allows partner manufacturers’ products to perform to their specifications as plug-and-play devices in a Crestron system.

“Home automation is becoming more comprehensive every day, which means interoperability is critical to the integrator’s job,” said Linda Cortese, commercial products senior manager, Honeywell. “Because these VISTA panels are now compatible with Crestron systems, Honeywell dealers have even more opportunities to increase sales, attract new customers and differentiate their businesses.”
