Smart Thermostat
Description
The Alarm.com ADC-T2000 is a smart Z-Wave thermostat designed for use with the Alarm.com platform. The thermostat should be used with an Alarm.com-compatible security system, like the 2GIG GC3 or Qolsys IQ Panel 2. It will replace the user's existing thermostat and provide great function.
Once the ADC-T2000 has been integrated with Alarm.com, the device can be controlled in a number of different ways. The module has buttons on its front for adjusting the temperature and for configuring settings. But what really makes the ADC-T2000 exciting is that the user can control the thermostat from their panel or remotely using the Alarm.com Mobile App.
As a thermostat, the ADC-T2000 boasts several great features. It allows for customized scheduling and temperature presets. This helps users stay comfortable, while also maximizing convenience and saving energy. The presets are great for daily situations like leaving the home or going to sleep, so that the house is always set to the ideal temperature. Users can even receive alerts from Alarm.com if someone adjusts the ADC-T2000 Smart Thermostat while they are away.
And as a Z-Wave device, the ADC-T2000 can be integrated into smart scenes with other Z-Wave devices. These scenes can all be set up through Alarm.com. A user might have a scene to activate their ADC-T2000 Thermostat automatically and have their Z-Wave lights turn on when they return home and disarm their system. The possibilities for creating unique Z-Wave scenes involving the T2000 is truly endless.
The ADC-T2000 can also be used with the ADC-S2000 Temperature Sensor for accurately reading the temperature across a larger building.

The Alarm.com ADC-T2000 Z-Wave Thermostat was once the flagship smart thermostat for use with the Alarm.com Platform. It has since been replaced by the Alarm.com ADC-T3000 Thermostat, which is a bit sleeker, more advanced, and utilizes the more reliable Z-Wave Plus technology. That's not to say that the ADC-T2000 Thermostat isn't a great product. These devices have worked reliably for years, and they continue to be purchased and added to security systems as of mid-2020. In fact, we still regularly recommend the ADC-T2000 Thermostat to customers looking for a no-frills Z-Wave thermostat option. Whether you are using the device with Alarm.com or a different interactive service platform like Samsung SmartThings or Total Connect 2.0, the Alarm.com ADC-T2000 should not let you down. We give it a 5 Star rating.
While there are more advanced thermostat options available, there are still a lot of things we appreciate about the Alarm.com ADC-T2000. The thermostat offers customized scheduling and temperature presets. This is important, as it helps the user save money, while also keeping their home or business comfortable. Like all Z-Wave devices, you can integrate the Alarm.com ADC-T2000 in with your smart scenes for automatic operation and control. You can have smart scenes trigger based upon a schedule, with certain system events, or both. The ADC-T2000 also integrates nicely with the ADC-S2000 Temperature Sensor if you need to detect temperature across a larger building.
As we said earlier, the ADC-T2000 is an older model, and you should get the ADC-T3000 if you want the latest Z-Wave thermostat from Alarm.com. The ADC-T2000 is a standard Z-Wave thermostat, meaning that you may get better results with a Z-Wave Plus model if you have a certified Z-Wave Plus controller or hub. Some users do find the ADC-T2000 to be "too simple" of a device. But if you are just looking for a basic no-frills thermostat, then the ADC-T2000 is still a great option. It gets 5 Stars from us.
Good: Customized Scheduling, Temperature Presets, Easily Integrates w/ Z-Wave Network, Pair w/ ADC-S2000 Temperature Sensor
Bad: Not Z-Wave Plus, Very Basic
Bottom Line: 5 Stars
