  1. Great video John! Just to clarify, for SmartThings, those gray buttons in the main device are used for adding the child devices you need, not for reporting the status of the devices.

  2. My concern would be for the cost of this device why not just replace your hardwired contacts or devices with a wireless device that does the same job with less trouble

  3. This cool and all but $20 per sensor. That is not a great deal considering your average home probably has 12-18 sensors not included fire.
    Great video though, thanks and keep them coming.

  4. Hello! I have DSC PC1616, unfortunately the system is armed and can’t be disarmed. I don’t have a master code. I still want to use wired pieces from the system, but replace it with something smart, that I can self-monitor from app. What solutions can you recommend? Really appreciate your help. Thanks

  5. Can you connect two reed switchs (for example two window sensors) to this zwave universal sensor to make them wireless? I'm not sure if you can connect one of them or two. In case of two, how would be the connection?

  6. I wish my house was already wired for an alarm to try this. I like that we can get mostly wireless alarms like the Ring, SimplySafe, etc, but I hate having to buy those watch batteries and replace those every 6 months to a year. And none of the battery sensors that I've seen screw in; they all use adhesive tape. That stuff never works right especially for the magnet slide. If the door swings to hard I've gotten them caught in the door because they shifted.
    Rant over: Great video! Can't wait to see what else you use those for. What can I use those for??? I'll have to do some brainstorming. Thx Cheers

  7. Another great video John! I was going to remove my old system and move the HE hub to this location (more centralized location). Plans are changing a bit 🙂

  8. Thanks for the great video John. I have a defunct wired alarm system and a Hubitat so… my to-do list just got a little longer.

  9. MIND READER!! I was literally debating (in my mind) last night on what would be the simplest and most cost effective way to integrate my fire alarm system and NVR sensor inputs into Smartthings. This may have the 'brains' to do the trick. Thank you!… Now where's that followup video you promised? It's already been an hour!! 🙂

  10. Hay John, GREAT VIDEO! Was interested in linking my old Honeywell wired alarm system to my Hubitat home security monitor. Before seeing your video I installed the Konnected alarm 2 panel $99 (sale price) along with their interface panel $29. You have two options, 1. Disconnect your old wired alarm completely and attach the old zone wires to the Alarm 2 module and control from your phone OR 2. add the interface module with the Alarm 2 module ( leaving your old alarm in tack wirh your old keypads) and have the best of both worlds . You can still use your old keypad AND/OR use Hubitat or Smartthings to control your alarm from your phone . Its worked seemlessly. The modules are very small but not as tiny as the one you show installing. Love your channel ( saw you on the last Hubitat live too) Stay well!

  11. Very nice John. I have an old DCS 1500 panel. We have had many windows replaced so some zones are no longer working but I have two door, one window, and a motion still functional that I do want to get up and running. Sounds like I may be able to get away with just two of these. Awesome.

  12. My screen is black… I changed the battery … I did notice that the plus sign was still lit even tho the battery was removed for about an hour and half

  13. How did you unplug that connector so easily? I feel like I'm going to break the box I pull so hard, what is the trick to this please?

  14. So any two gigabyte battery for the this specific alarm system? I jave the alert 360 and need to buy the right replacement mines look just like his

  15. Ok, so I no longer have my monitoring service through Richmond, but the old keypad is still on the wall and it keeps constantly beeping. I finally figured out how to remove the battery pack (unfortunately BEFORE I found this video😒) but its still beeping even without the battery pack. Can you please tell me how to totally diconnect the entire system so that is no longer getting power??

  16. I have the system for four years… I cancelled the monitoring after 4 years because when the alarm would go off they simply would send me an email saying to proceed with cautious! That was it!
    I felt that the ADT alarm monitoring was just set on a computer program to warn in case it would go off… finally I let it go after a lot of them "playing" around and would not cancel my services!

    Anyhow, during the night I put the alarm on but noticed that it says tgat the batteries are low.

    Which website can I buy the batteries online? Thank you!

  17. put the system on test before you start with the monitoring station , is always a good idea . good engineers always use the engineers code first . otherwise if it ant on maintenance you will need an anti code reset .

  18. I disagree, This will replace the battery. But it will still say low battery on the keypad and the constant beeping will drive everybody crazy.
    To clear the low battery from the keypad, First power down the whole system by removing the D.C power wire from the keypad. Now replace the battery, reconnect the power wire on the keypad. You're ready to go.
    The keypad will not clear the low battery if you don't power cycle the panel.
