you can still use, but they will not be monitored by ADT. Only the ADT-ST sensors can be included for ADT monitoring. Also, you cannot use the non-ADT side of ST to interact with the ADT-ST sensors and vice versa for triggering, etc. Think of the ADT-ST as two mutually exclusive networks, where sensors in those separate exclusive networks cannot communicate with each other.
Actually, you CAN use the dual logo ADT/SmartThings sensors to trigger Home automation rules like SmartLighting. They will show up in the list of sensors along with your other sensors. So they are not mutually exclusive. It’s just that only dual logo sensors can be used to send alerts to the ADT monitoring center or trigger the ADT panel functions.
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 …
