ADT Hub vs. v2 Hub

[Mavrrick58 (Mavrrick)]

The built in hub is a complete smartthings hub. It just has limited abilities to send info back to the ADT side. Also all ADT dual branded sensors are available in the Smartthings side to setup automations

FAQ: Will my zigbee/zwave sensors work with the new ADT/SmartThings security hub? Can I use the new dual logo sensors with the original SmartThings hub?

This question turns out to be more complicated then you would think. The new ADT/SmartThings security panel has two separate control silos, one for triggering calls to the ADT monitoring center and one for home automation rules. Only the new devices which have both the ADT logo and the SmartThings logo on the box can be used with the new ADT/SmartThings security panel to trigger alerts to the ADT monitoring center. And those are the only devices that can trigger those alerts. Those devices are not using zwave. They are not using zigbee. They use their own proprietary protocol. However, if you just want to set up home automation rules like turn the entryway light on if the contact sensor on the front door opens after sunset, then the new sensors will show up on your list of sensors when …

Thanks for the complete answer.

Thank you. I also found your Smartapp as a good solution to fill this gap.

If I have SmartThings hub controlling the existing sensors (lighting, buttons) and want to add ADT Hub to do just the security (contact, motion and presence sensors) - can the two hubs/systems co-exist?

The benefit I see in it is that I isolate the security components to ADT hub and have SmartThings hub do home automation tasks. I would not try to add home automation stuff to ADT Hub or vice versa.

Yes; but remember that the ADT Security features only work with ADT sensors, so if you’re aiming in that directly, you might as well skip ADT entirely and get one of the new and more competitive alarm systems like Ring or Nest.

Trying to use my existing IRIS contact sensors with ADT SmartThings Hub. Can you please help ?

Many things you can do through automation. Obviously you can attach them to a door or window and provide notification feedback as to when the door or window are opened. You can use the “Add automation” to turn on or off lights when the sensor is opened or closed. You can use the IDE, login link here using your Samsung or ADT credentials → https://account.smartthings.com/

Here is a good thread to learn about automation and an embedded thread to learn about webcore:

Automation - If -> While -> Than

Hi guys, For some of the automation that I have, I use the SmartRules app which allows me to have the following: If this happens: Multipurpose Sensor Opens While any of things are true: Kitchen Lights are on TV is on Than do these: Turn off kitchen lights Turn off TV Now the problem is that this is not always reliable because it does not always triggers the actions… My question is, can I use something similar (simple as that one) in order have this While any of things are true option between conditions?

Did you do a reset on them to join them over to the new ADT hub?

[Vinod_Krishnan_R]

Can you please help me with the reset steps ? I tried diff things from different sites but don’t know which is the right way of doing it.

That will walk you through it. Obviously it will be a little different pairing it to SmartThings.

The link you provided is for 2nd gen.

How do I know if mine are 1st gen or 2nd gen ?

Thanks

What’s the model number? It should either be on the back of the sensor or inside the battery compartment.

How long ago did you purchase it? I would assume it is a second generation.
