Low-cost siren and touch screen

I thought the ADT hub was ALSO a ST hub? You can use the ADT sensors for security on the ADT side and all the other devices on the ST side but never the two shall mix. For example. you couldn’t use a security motion sensor in WebCore to turn on Lights. You would need a second Motion sensor to accomplish that. Correct?

No, it’s better than that. You can use the ADT/smart things dual logo motion sensor to trigger home automation routines or webcore. They show up in the things list like the single logo sensors. So if you have an ADT contact sensor on the window and it opens you can have the ADT panel contact the monitoring center and you can have smartthings turn on your lights.

What you can’t do is use a single logo SmartThings sensor to trigger a call to the ADT monitoring center.

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 …

If anyone has any further questions about how this model hub works, I suggest asking in the following thread, where there are people who actually have it.

ADT partnership: ST-ADT touchscreen hub and devices (discussion thread)

[image] $550 kit at BestBuy [image] Looks like there are several new ADT/SmartThings branded devices too that say “Requires an ADT security hub” on box… contact, motion, keychain remote, smoke, CO and leak For ADT response you have to use these new devices (encrypted?). Other devices/sensors can still be used but won’t trigger ADT call. Details on hub (7" touchscreen, siren, battery and cell backup, pro monitoring by ADT optional):
