I currently have an ADT Pulse security system with two Z-Wave devices.  Is it possible to integrate these Z-Wave devices with my ISY994?  I'm not familiar with Z-Wave (I just installed the Z-Wave module in my ISY994 and started playing around with it a few hours ago) and I'm trying to understand how it works.  It seems I can have these Z-Wave devices be a part of my ISY configuration, or a part of my ADT Pulse configuration.  What I would like to do is see these Z-Wave devices from both my ISY and ADT Pulse systems at the same time.  Is that possible?

 

Thanks for any help you can offer me!

A Z-Wave device can only belong to only one "Home" network. So, the answer is no, it will respond to either your ISY device or your alarm system but not both.

Hi Andy,

 

You are correct but ISY can be a secondary controller to ADT (or ADT secondary controller to ISY).

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Michel,

Where can I find information about setting up the ISY to be a secondary controller to ADT?  Thanks for your help!

Can you tell me what you did on your ADT Pulse GUI to get the ISY to be recognized as a (secondary) controller-I seem to be missing something here...

Hello,

 

I currently have ADT Pulse and am looking to add the ISY994iZw/IR PRO controller so I can use my existing Z-wave devices (over 30) and have the option to add Insteon devices, with the eventual intent of getting rid of ADT Pulse and only using the ISY with MobiLinc. I'm fed up with ADT's lack of updates, broken promises for IFTTT, app-based voice control, etc. Anyway, enough with my rant.

 

My question is, CAN I designate the ISY as the primary controller making ADT secondary? I see in the instructions that I need to tell my primary controller (ADT Pulse) to relinquish primary control, but I don't see any way to do that using Pulse's minimally-configurable interface/ecosystem. Has anyone tried this yet? Obviously, with ISY's more advanced features and abilities to also add Insteon products, I want to make ISY primary.

 

Thanks for any help!

Hi Brad,

 

This is definitely doable because, otherwise, they would not be Z-Wave certified. The main question is whether or not you can get them to let you know how to accomplish that. Please checkout this link:

Anybody???

IIRC, Pulse really doesn't see the ISY. I took all my devices out from ADT control as their software SUCKS.

 

But, when I was running under Pulse as the primary, the ISY saw the devices and could control them... the two hubs just didn't know about one or another.

 

I could be wrong... but close.

I had an ADT Pulse system -- long gone -- but still have two of their ZWave thermostats, RCS Technologies TZ45a units.  Does anyone know how to get them to "forget" the Pulse controller so I can add them to my UDI ISY994iZ?

You should go through the exclude process and then include.

I don't have the ADT pulse gear anymore.  How could I exclude them?

 

Thanks,

Hi manowell,

 

If listed in the device tree, then right mouse click | Z-Wave | Remove failed node.
