Not yet, but the following from consumer reports is very interesting.
I also found it interesting that consumer reports said the typical home setting up a security system will require sensors for two doors and 15 windows.
If the non-ADT SmartThings sensors “work” with the new panel/hub (but not ADT monitoring and security alerts), it would stand to reason that they will function with smart home monitor that has been a part of ST hubs since 2015.
I have no way of independently verifying that, however.
Also interesting is the fact that they do not include the ADT SmartThings security system in the self-monitored category. I think it is a nice feature to have the option to monitor it myself (with $0 recurring fee) or pay a monthly fee to have it professionally monitored if I so choose.
That is also what my thoughts are. I would think it could at least send a notification to your phone and possibly something on the panel but it will not notify ADT based on that sensor. The notification on the panel is the one thing that I am skeptical about though. Also whether the ADT senors will play nice mix and matched with other non ADT sensors in SHM.
I would not bet on that either. It’d be nice to see that happen, obviously, but it seems far more likely that with non-ADT sensors and no central monitoring, you’ll only get SHM alerts with the ST app on your phone or tablet.
The way I understand it from several discussions i’ve seen with input from ST staff is this:
- Smart Home monitor is disabled for ADT hubs (maybe that was part of app 2.9?). They use their own “app” for security inside the SmartThings app.
- you can use all the other zigbee and z-wave sensors you want with the ADT hub, but only the 900 mhz (and specific zigbee water) ADT sensors can be used for security.
- ALL sensors (including ADT 900 mhz) can be used for other automations.
That’s interesting. So the new ADT panel/hub will use a different app for security alerts even when one doesn’t use their central monitoring? And that’s for the ADT sensors? So it’s not as easy to use standard z-wave/zigbee sensors for (self) security monitoring. I suppose one could create alerts wth WebCoRE or other smartapps though.
As I understand it, yes, and only for ADT sensors.
So, what about water leak detection?
I would assume if you want ADT monitoring or self monitoring through their special smart app, you have to buy the special ADT water sensor. But i also don’t see any reason why you couldn’t just setup a Webcore piston for this using any zigbee or z-wave water sensor.
I already own multiple ST leak sensors and really don’t want to buy new ones. Also, Webcore does not run locally.
The only way I see many of the questions, assumptions, and guesstimations being answered with 100% clarity is by actual owners/users of this product testing all these use cases/scenarios. I am very curious to see the results of the use case @JDRoberts wants to have tested by someone who already purchased:
All the documentation up until now has created so much confusion around this product which is going to prevent a lot of people from purchasing until a lot of these questions can be answered.
I’m taking one for the team! Just ordered one and I’m about to go pick it up. I’ll take a look at the questions in this thread and try to get some answers.
I guess I can then sell the answers to the group to help pay for my research. haha 
Stay tuned for some updates this evening.
Actual owner here
I literally just got the system so my experience is very limited. Here’s a few things I’ve noticed straight away:
- ST functionality is separated from the tablet UI. The tablet UI only controls ADT/security system functionality.
- SHM has been replaced by a home security app in the ST mobile dashboard.
- ADT sensors work similar to any other ST device in terms of automations. In other words, all smartapps should continue to work with ADT based sensors/devices.
- The pairing process is different for ADT devices. You first must scan a QR code on the device before using the ‘add a thing’ screen on ST.
- The panel has a 60sec exit delay and a 30sec entry delay. I haven’t found a way to customize this yet.
Again… I literally just installed this system ~15min ago (I’m not done even installing the sensors) so I’m still figuring out the system as a whole. Feel free to ask me any questions and I’ll try to answer them the best I can.
So i had the same question and according to support the adt system does not have any video core processing so it may or may not be able to handle cloud to cloud processing for video but no local lan video and without the video core i dont know if you could view the video with the adt hub
Here’s a basic video overview of the panel GUI. Sorry for the sideways video and I’m not sure why its only 240p… perhaps its still processing by Youtube. Regardless, it gives you a general overview of what the GUI is like: https://youtu.be/A3gs5BcUP0g
Interesting, thanks for sharing.
So there is a pin pad on the tablet. I wonder if WebCore will have access to that information, that is that it was just disarmed by the master user, or not.
Or for that matter, if web core will know if the system is armed or not armed.
Really… I would consider that a mid-sized system.
