Hello , I am new to the zwave world and have started playing with the zwave products.
Please excuse me if this question has been answered but I have not been able to find what I am looking for.
I have a house with an old wired adt system that I am replacing with zwave.
all of my doors are wired with sensors and I have motion sensors . All of which still function.
instead of replacing working switches , I would like to know if there is a way to connect the wired sensors to a zwave product ?
3 things I am looking to do
1) connect door switches to zwave sensor of some type
2) Connect motion sensor to a zwave sensor of some type
3) I am looking for the zwave system to beep when a door is opened like the old ADT system would do.
any help would be appreciated
thank you
John Rygg

I have a old ADT system, but switched over to smiththompson.com for monitoring and they installed a wireless module for monitoring. I would think there would be a way to communicate with either the control panel or the main panel thru serial communication, but it would probably be a lot easier to just upgrade the whole alarm to something that is zwave already. I would rather use my hardwired sensors then starting over with a bunch of battery powered sensors...

Re: connecting to an old wired ADT system
There are Z-wave "door switches" that allow fo a secondary wired switch to be monitored as well. I do have one from Vision ( ZD 2102).
What kind of data do you get from your monitors via the serial interface?

AD2USB connect ademco and Honeywell systems. Mimics a control panel.

Envisalink 3 http://www.eyezon.com/?page_id=176
will work with my DSC 5010 alarm installed by ADT.
EnvisaLink 3 is a powerful TCP-IP based bus-level interface to DSC PowerSeries* panels and Honeywell Vista* panels. It allows you to view the status of and even control your alarm panel through a standard web-browser or smart-phone. VOIP Friendly.
Plays Well With Others
Through the built in TPI (third party interface) the EnvisaLink 3 is already compatible with many major home automation systems and numerous 3rd party Android and iPhone apps.
