ADT sensors...into ST?

@ero4444

If you seriously propose that ST alarms should be used for a multi-person house with a baby, then you do him a disservice.

Seems like to me, the OP has an alarm system (ADT) that is functional outside of ST and wants to bring in those sensors into ST…Meaning, keep his current alarm system AND incorporate the sensors into ST…

The OP’s question is the exact question I had when faced with the same scenario. Of course someone immediately said it could not be accomplished. However, there is a 3rd party device called Envisalink 4 that I was able to purchase for about $80 that allowed me to interface my alarm system into ST using a community created App and DTH(s) called Alarm Server. Doing this, I also gained 28 sensors that I was able to use in other Home Automation scenarios.

Similar projects have been done for ADT Systems as well. Here is one for example:

ADT Integration

Smartthings Community I’ve seen tons of people talking about integrating ADT into Smartthings. I’ve seen several threads where users were setting up computers to route the data into smartthings. I personally thought this approach was expensive and required a lot of hardware for such a small task. I went down the path of building an Arduino card integration. I’ve been promising notes / pictures for weeks but still haven’t gotten the chance. However, I did want to post some high level steps on how I performed the task with the plan of posting more details later on. Supplies: AD2pi module [http://www.alarmdecoder.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/33]. This Raspberry pi card is programmed to interface with an ADT system (specs can be found on the website) through an inbound / …

You can’t typically add ADT sensors to a SmartThings set up directly, but there are sometimes ways to set up a “man in the middle” to capture the sensor information and then pass it over to SmartThings. It just comes down to the details.

As JD explained, it really depends on what equipment the OP has.

Saying no without actually having the proper information needed in order to give a qualified answer is, IMHO, a disservice.

Finally, I had absolutely no technical know-how to do all the things that I have accomplished with my current HA system. However, this community Rocks! There are many users willing to walk users through seemingly difficult setups. Now, what once seemed super overwhelming when I first started off, is now walks in the park. YMMV
