FAQs
Does Motion Sensors | Indoor Motion Detectors work without an ADT panel or hub?
Most ADT sensors, sirens, and keypads require an ADT Command panel or Self-Setup hub. Cameras and doorbells work in the ADT+ or ADT Control app but do not replace alarm controller functions.
Why does device status show Offline?
Usually battery, Z-Wave range, or hub internet — confirm hub or panel online before replacing hardware.
How do I reset and re-add the device?
Follow the factory reset steps in official ADT help.adt.com support for your exact generation — then Add Device in the ADT+ or ADT Control app near the hub.
Will professional monitoring dispatch on this fault?
Burglary dispatch requires ADT professional monitoring, correct arming mode, and cleared device status faults — verify in app settings.
