[Electronics-Talk] ADT Pulse

[Robin Frost]

Hi,
I have it and it suits my needs quite well.
For those who ask it augments an ADT alarm system with smart home controls 
like light switches either the type you can plug lamps into or in the wall 
switches for instance that can control exterior lights.  It can also 
interface with security cameras and smart locks and perhaps even internet 
connected thermostats.
Obviously the functions of the cameras aren't accessible to us due to the 
nature of things being visual but with assistance one can review footage 
from the past 30 days from cameras. But from a blindness perspective both 
the web portal and app are quite usable with screen readers.  I can 
independently for instance set timers to go on and off at various schedules 
without any sighted assistance.  I can arm and disarm my system from 
anywhere on earth if there's an internet connection available to me and if 
internet is working at my home of course.
I find the web portal to be a bit more efficient than the app just due to 
the layout of things there are many "tiles" in the app with which one can 
interact that even sighted people find it a bit cluttered. But it by no 
means is unusable at all.
I hope that helps.
Take good care,
Robin

Hello:

I was just wondering if anyone had ADT Pulse. I am considering an upgrade,
but would like to hear others, experiences.
