Hello. We have had Time Warner Security for many years. We had it installed when I was sighted. Now that I am blind, I don't find it very useful for a blind person. Four instance, the only thing I can do is arm it and dis-arm it, because I know the code. If we need to bypass a zone, I have to get a sighted family member to do it for me. The keypad is useless, because it does not talk. I have had many discussions with Time Warner, and they know my frustration, but they do not have many options for blind people. Their app is quirky, and I need to get a family member who can see to help me navigate it, so I don't use it. I know for a fact, there are some security systems out there which speak and let you know what zones are open, i.e., a window, a door, etc. now that there is talk that Charter Cable is supposed to be buying Time Warner Cable for 55 billion dollars, we will wait and see if they will incorporate any enhancements for their blind customers. The cable box is useless to a blind person, as well as the security system. If they don't come up with a blind friendly solution, we will jump ship and go to a Nother company which offers ease-of-use of their products by visually impaired persons. Ironically, they send my bill in braille each month, yet, they don't offer any Braille remotes, nor a cable box which can tell me what channel I am viewing.
Hope this helps.
