Samsung SmartThings partners with ADT for a new professionally monitored, self-installed security and life safety solution. The suite of products will be powered by the SmartThings platform, backed by ADT professional monitoring, without the need for long-term contracts.

The Samsung SmartThings ADT home security system is a customisable, DIY security solution that connects with hundreds of compatible SmartThings devices to allow for one central control point. This gives anyone the ability to grow their connected home ecosystem as their needs evolve.

The solutions consists of a Home Security Starter Kit and Home Safety Expansion Pack. The Home Security Starter Kit includes the Security Hub, two Door and Window Detectors, and one Motion Detector, with capabilities to be expanded with additional detectors and alarms as needed. This will be part of the Home Safety Expansion Pack, which will include fire, carbon monoxide and water leak detection.

The ADT Security Hub touchscreen panel, used to arm and disarm your home, also comes with a built in SmartThings Hub. This allows users to add and control smart home devices, like lights, cameras, doorbells, door locks, thermostats, sensors, voice assistants and more within the SmartThings App. Users can manage devices and sensors, set up routines, and receive alerts based on their preferences, as well as check on the security of their home from the smartphone app. The app is Android and iOS compatible.

Samsung SmartThings customers will also be able to add a unique video solution to their Samsung SmartThings ADT home security system starting next year. The new solution will combine custom camera hardware, cloud video storage and exclusive on-demand safety options, all seamlessly managed in the SmartThings mobile app.

The Samsung SmartThings ADT home security system will be available for pre-sale on www.bestbuy.com and www.Samsung.com today, and available in Best Buy stores on October 29.
