Q: Is it possible to put the ADT hub panel on the wall without the AC wire dangling out? System looks nice but I am hesistant about the placement for that hub.

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.

Q: Several Questions (numbered below): 1. Does this *Require* ADT monitoring or can I configure Smartthings to send text alerts? 2. This includes the Smartthings hub, correct? 3. Can the panel be wall mounted?

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.

Q: I already have ADT Pulse monitoring. Is the SmartThings ADT panel compatible with the sensors I have in the home now? If they are listed on the 'works with SmartThings' website can I just connect them to the new panel? Or do I have to buy all new sensors?

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

Q: For what seems like a similar cost to their regular plan is ADT planning to subsidize this equipment with a contract commitment? If not, this is very expensive equipment compared to simply safe and other systems.

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: If a burglar breaks into our home and unplugs the device from the wall outlet and breaks the unit, will the alarm still sound from the initial entry point that was triggered?

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.
