Baja Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 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!
andyf0 Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 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.
Michel Kohanim Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Hi Andy, You are correct but ISY can be a secondary controller to ADT (or ADT secondary controller to ISY). With kind regards, Michel
Baja Posted December 13, 2015 Author Posted December 13, 2015 Michel, Where can I find information about setting up the ISY to be a secondary controller to ADT? Thanks for your help!

Baja Posted December 15, 2015 Author Posted December 15, 2015 Michel, Thanks for your help. It's working great!
steve1814 Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Michel, Thanks for your help. It's working great! Baja, 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...
kcdk99 Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 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! Brad
Michel Kohanim Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 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: http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/17571-isy994-z-wave-and-adt-pulse-integration/ With kind regards, Michel
steve1814 Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 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... Anybody???
kissfan Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 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... 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.

manowell Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 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?

manowell Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 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,
Michel Kohanim Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 Hi manowell, If listed in the device tree, then right mouse click | Z-Wave | Remove failed node. With kind regards, Michel
