Your home security system needs a brain, so get started with an ADT Security Hub. It features a 7-inch touchscreen control panel, a built-in siren, battery and cellular data backup, and dual- encryption wireless technology.
Connected devices and services sold separately. Requires an ADT Security Hub, plus one or more compatible ADT devices. ADT professional monitoring services may not be available in all areas and may require permitting or additional service fees.
A: It doesn't appear that they have a way to do that unfortunately. The hub needs low voltage DC which requires a transformer so it can't just get wired to 120v in your wall, you'd have to bury a transformer in the wall and splice the cable, it would be DIY but it would be doable.
A: 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?
Q: how much is the monthly montoring cost and do u have to join a contract.
A: Safety service (fire) starts at $14.99 per month Security service starts at $24.99 per month All services are month to month. There are no contracts.
A: From the SmartThings ADT support site FAQ: At this time, existing ADT devices are not compatible with the ADT Security Hub. SmartThings ADT monitored devices as well as supported ZigBee and Z-Wave devices are compatible with the ADT Security Hub. smartthings.com/support-adt
A: Agree that the price point may be a bit higher but the components and flexibility also seem to be a step up from the SimplySafe line. The ADT package seems most similar to the Economy SimplySafe package which is about $260. I think the touchscreen and having the ability to use any Smartthings component with the app seems like it may be worth another $140...which is what I paid on sale ($399.99)...though I realize you are limited to the ADT/Smartthings components if you want to control via the touchscreen and ADT monitor the system.
Q: What do you do if the power cord provided is not long enough?
A: Get an extension chord.
A: No, no siren would go off. However, the system does communicate to ADT monitoring when the alarm is initially tripped, and again when the correct code is entered to disarm (sends a CANCEL signal to ADT). So, if the second signal to disarm is never received, ADT monitoring will call you and then dispatch police if you don't tell them it's all clear. In this way, I believe, even if the intruder quickly smashed in the control unit, it'd be too late as ADT would already be counting down for the disarm code.
A: Quick update to previous answer.. yes there is a panic button on the console. Push the big + button and you get a screen to choose panic, fire, or emergency.
