I have an old ADT Pulse security system and we want to stop paying for their services. since we technically own the equipment now, I am trying to find a way to integrate the system to work with HE. I know people have used Konnected but I do not know where to start. If someone could give me a play by play for integration that would be awesome!
Go look at the alarm box and see what model it is. Usually a Vista or a DSC. Model number helps too.
It is an ADT Pulse TSSC 4668 i think. I am not exactly sure since my wife had it installed when I was on a deployment...
Konnected and Envisalink won't work with those.
hmm. I guess I'm out of luck then?
Is your home all wireless sensors or did it come prewired?
I wasted a bunch of money on a Vivint system before I realized those all in one systems are a waste of money. Luckily I still had my prewired system Vista21ip and just ripped their little takeover module out.
just the wireless sensors that work with the adt control box.. I was obviously hoping to have them work with other smart home devices via hubitat. It seems like a big waste that we have the equipment but unable to use it.
Yea, and depending on how many sensors you have it'll probably take you 6 months to a year to recoup your costs but a real alarm panel like a Vista21ip and an Envisalink 4 to tie it into Hubitat along with a 6160RF keypad to pickup wireless is a much better option. The Envisalink will also let you bring over the wireless sensors so you don't have to buy zwave and alarm sensors for the same windows/doors.
The panel is pretty easy to wire up yourself. Just a transformer that you can plug in the attic that has two wires to the panel. The panel has two wires that you connect to a battery. Then there's 4 wires that you run to to the keypad. Can use a cat 5/6 drop if you have one handy and just repurpose the wires. The rest of it you don't need if you don't have wired contacts. The rest of the sensors will pair with the keypad. The panel supports both cell and internet for reporting to a call center that you can get for 20 bucks a month.
The Envisalink connects to the same 4 connectors that the keypad connects to.
I have a different situation... I have ADT pulse and can connect it via the web API to Homekit Via Homebridge and fully integrate the Contact sensors motion sensors Smoke detector and Alarm into Homekit.... Can I do that with Hubitat?
