Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Offering a partial answer as I just purchased and haven’t gotten it all setup yet. 1. Not sure. Will let you know once I get it working as I don’t intend to have ADT monitoring. 2. The SmartThings hub is not a separate “box”. That software is running inside the security panel. 3. Instructions say it can be mounted to a flat wall. You okay with having a power cord dangling from the wall? Not sure if you will try to fish the power cable in the wall from an ac outlet?
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Still no answer to #1 but I thought those looking into this system may benefit from the following Consumer Reports article: https://www.consumerreports.org/home-security/diy-home-security-system-cost/
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can monitor it yourself.This includes text messages.Depending where you live ADT will not monitor this equipments.ADT told me this equipment can’t be used with their monitoring equipment.ADT wants me to buy their equipment.
