I am at the point now where I can talk about migration to Smartthings from Iris on a one for one basis as I have reached and now exceeded where I was with Iris. My Iris system state as of 1/31/2019 when Lowe’s announced the death of Iris. Iris 2nd generation smart hub. Iris 2nd generation safe an…

[image] lflorack: the device being excluded only needs to be communicating with the hub - but it doesn’t need to be a device that’s previously been actually linked to the hub Yup, correct. Distance could still be an issue if the device needs to communicate a far distance to the hub, but I’ve…

Update for all to see. Still a couple of minor wrinkles to work out. #1. I am not sure how to, with ADT Tools 2 installed and configured, exclude my Iris contact and motion sensors, or even include or exclude any particular sensors from say armed stay mode. I don’t want the alarm going off if my wi…

Okay so status updates. NO I am not going to let folks go without udpates. I am a firm believer in getting information that can potentially help others out as I get it. So here goes. On the Iris sensors issue, I was getting errant alarm trips from indoor sensors tripping the alarm when it should ha…

This is th…

Are the sensors in the room dual branded ADT sensors. If they how are setup. If they are iris sensors it get easy. You can configure ADT Tools Alert actions without a siren. Juat make sure you set them up as a non dual branded sensor alert.

They are 2nd gen Iris sensors… And I have it working fine now. First time out of the box I had them somehow triggering SHM even though I was using Home Security and SHM disappeared…

Another update. The first Hampton zigbee ceiling fan controller is installed and configured. Not super straightforward but once figured out, easily reproduced. Works great now that I stopped shooting my foot. Lots more to do, but I’ve got a great working system now…

Glad to see a former iris user. Do you know if the gen2 iris motion sensors are capable of temperature readings in ST??
