Hi all
I’m New-ish to ST. A few months ago we installed an ADT system (through ADT). I was looking into how to add a second siren and came across this list and tool.
My first dumb question, is there a difference between the ST ADT system and the ADT Command smart system we installed (www.adt.com/command)? If so am I able to use this ADT tool 2?
Thank you all!
Hi @ThePike, I think there are never dumb questions, I have the ADT/ST system and I added an additional siren to the system (Aeotec 6) with no problem using ADT Tools 2, ate least panels are similar but definitely, not the same, I think the question is if this panel could be integrated with Smartthings, because I think ADT Tools 2 app is a ST code (for ST hubs). I understand that ADT/ST Hub is in fact two systems interacting ADT * Smartthings hub… Maybe @Mavrrick58 could confirm …
CarlosJ is spot on. ADT Tools is a Smartthings App. It will not work with any ADT alarm System and requires the ADT Smartthings Alarm Panel.
Aloha,
I had an ADT HUB that died twice in one year so I want to go back to the normal Smartthings HUB. I created a new location and added a V3 HUB. However, there are no SHM buttons/section on the new location. How do I get the ARM/DISARM buttons back if not using ADT HUB any longer (ADT HUB removed)?
Thanks
I think the question is what are you trying to accomplish. This may not be the right thread to atart this conversation. SHM as i understand it is dead and can not be installed anymore. StHM is the new app and as such falls under a whole new list of integration complications.
Thanks for the quick reply didn’t realize the change in apps. Will look into StHM and see if i still have any questions.
Curious. Will there be a way to get ADT Tools to work in both directions with the new platform?
What are others doing with ADT panels and the new app?
The new app works with the panel the same way the old one does. I have been using the new app for some time.
When you say both directions what does that mean. You can already trigger some stuff both way, you just need to be creative and use virtual devices in between them. Keep in mind you will never be able to trigger the internal siren though from any external source as it is not presented as a smartthings device and there is not command to trigger it.
Thanks! That is good news. I will perform the upgrade then.
Hey guys, I know this might not be the right place to post but in the app both classic and new, have y’all noticed the disarm button disappeared? I only have two options now Arm(stay) and Arm(Away). How do I get the Dísarm button back?
I believe the disarm button will appear once you put the alarm panel in one of the Armed modes. That is the ADT Dashboard which is not part of the ADT Tools smartapp.
Aloha Mavrrick,
My ADT panel died and I got a replacement under warranty. After adding all the sensors back in I added the tiles from ADT-tools 2 however they don’t actually do anything. Tied to run a live IDE event tracker but nothing shows up when I click any of the 3 buttons (did try anther button to lock the door and it showed that event). I still have the ADT-tools 2 and the 3 daughter apps with only the parent app published. These are from 2 years ago (I couldn’t ever figure out how to link my Smartthings IDE Account to yours).
Thanks in advance
Based on what you said I would check to see if you have all of the Values setup in the main app. Since your hub changed anything that was setup for mode change need to be validated. At the very least you will need to update the configuration option where you select your ADT Hub Device. That can apply to your child apps as well.
Thanks for the quick reply. looking at it now
Deleted the buttons and then re-added then and it worked!!!
That display indicates that alarm is “DISARMED” already and “Ready to Arm”, when you arm it (Stay or Away mode), then the “DISARM” button will appear …
Hi, @HawaiiKai, same to me, when ADT Tools 2 added buttons, I did not find any use for them, nothing happens when turn them on/off, all the time they are in “off”, they did not change when any mode change in ST/Alarm hub . Can you share with me how are you using them and how did you configure them?. Thanks !!!
Hi @Mavrrick58
I was using ADT Tools 2 for a while and it was working like a charm. Thank you once again for the app.
I encountered a problem, mentioend in this threa, that is for sure not because of the app but I would like to ask your opinion if you saw the same problem.
I found one ADT door sensor always open. I tried to solve the problem by removing the sensor and adding it again that was unsuccessful. Using an old version of smartthings app was possible to add the sensor. But I realized that all ADT dual branded sensors only work locally with the ADT hub and their status do not get updated in the cloud and no smart app including ADT Tolls 2 can use them.
Since Samsung keep integrating new brands to the new app, it seems they intentionally stopped syncing ADT sensors.
What do you think? Did anybody have the same problem inside USA or this problem happened only for users out of USA?
I have replied to the thread
Hi Maverick, I hope everything is ok, still trying to take max advantage of your great tool, let me ask to you something about it. I remembered when I set it up it created virtual buttons for each alarm state (disarm, away and stay), in that time I did not get what are they for, I test them a couple of times without any action at all, maybe I did something wrong, finally I decide delete them (from ADT Tools smartapp, I switch off the option). My questions are:
Regards my friend…
UPDATE: Now I have re created Virtual Buttons, then assigned them to Alarm Mode Change Integration options, and voila !..now they are all working changing the state of the ADT Alarm…I wonder why they do not work the first time I did it, but now I get it, I can use them in Sharp Tools (Tile App for ST) !!..
