So im a complete noob and I just got my smart things hub the other day and Im slowly getting things connected to it.
I already got my nest connected to it but Im trying to connect all the sensors from the homes ADT system connected to it (theyre all wireless and i dont pay for their expensive service). All of the devices are wireless and are all made by Honeywell.
I started testing with one of my sensors the Honeywell 5816 wireless windows sensor. I took out the battery and put it back in so I think that disconnected it from the ADT system. Ive read that this is how to break it from the ADT system.
My questions is, how do I connect it to my smart things hub?
Greg, did you ever figure out a way to integrate the Honeywell 5816 sensors? I recently bought a house that was already setup with a bunch of Honeywell sensors (window/door and motion), as part of a security system. I cancelled the security service, so now I just have these sensors all over my house. I’m really hoping there is a way to get Smartthings to see the status of them. I’ve been looking for maybe an RF to Z-Wave converter/bridge, but I’ve been very unsuccessful.
That is a good idea though to find some kind of converter transmitter for the hub. I have the next two asks off so I’ll post here if I do our don’t find anything.
Let me know if you find anything to because I think this can get a lot people into using the sensors in that houses, especially those built within the last few years.
