HOW DO I KNOW WHICH ADT PULSE LIGHTING OPTION IS RIGHT FOR ME?

When trying to decide which ADT Pulse lighting device is right for you there is one main question you need to answer first.

Do you want to replace a light switch or just plug a lamp into it? If you want to replace a light switch look at that section below. If you want to just plug a lamp into it skip to the Lamp Module section.

ADT PULSE LIGHT SWITCHES

If you have an in-wall light switch that you want to control with ADT Pulse you have the following questions to answer to help you know what ADT Pulse Light switch to get.

Do you want dimming ability or just on/off function? There are just two types of in-wall switches – dimming and on/off.

Do you want the standard decora design or the more old fashioned toggle switch look? The most common switches are the decora style that you push in to turn the light on and off. The toggle switches are starting to become available but are not as popular.

How many lights are you wanting to control on a dimmer? If you have lots of can lights you want to control you will want to have a dimming light switch that can handle the load. There is a 600 W load option and a 1000W load option.

How many light switches are there that control that same light or set of lights? If you have two light switches that control the same porch light (for example) you would need to purchase an in-wall on/off switch and also an auxiliary switch. If you have three light switches that control a single light or group of lights, you will need two auxiliary switches.

How to Add More:

  1. Press all four buttons on your ADT remote and hold them until the light on the remote flashes. The light will flash within three seconds.
  2. Release all of the buttons on the remote.
  3. Press the “Stay” button on the remote to change all of the buttons (except for “Panic”) to become instantaneous.
  4. Press the “Disarm” button to reset the remote’s frequency. This step might be required whenever you take out the batteries or replace them.
  5. Press the “Panic” button to select either “On” or “Off” settings for that button. The LED will flash twice if set to “Off” and only once if set to “On.”
  6. Press the “Away” button to change back to the default delay settings for the “Panic” button, along with the other three buttons on the remote. The red LED light will be illuminated to indicate that it is sending the signal to the system and receiving its programming.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO CONSIDER

These are some additional things you should know and consider when looking for what ADT Pulse lighting devices are best for you.

  • You cannot dim fluorescent lights. You can usually only dim Incandescent and LED. (and only some LED)
  • All of the ADT Pulse Lighting options use Z-wave to communicate back to the ADT Pulse gateway. Z-wave typically only works 30-60 feet away unless you have another lighting module in between to boost to mesh network.
  • Every ADT Pulse Light Switch or ADT Pulse Lamp Module is also a Z-Wave repeater.
