Haven't used ADT specifically but in our experience, yes when a secy system is installed normally there's some upfront discussion of where physical contacts are required (ie doors or windows) vs motion detectors and/or other safety features (eg cold temps, smoke, carbon dioxide). Then the techs tend to confer w/ homeowners or their reps in terms of the clearest nomenclature for each zone. For some rooms (kitchen, master bedroom, dining room, library) the verbiage is very clear; in others they tend to want to know how the inhabitants refer to the rooms for best clarity in case of an alarm or emergency -- i.e. "Do you tend to refer to this as the pantry? the laundry? the back landing? etc …i also have a question reart 1 of the interview and the ADT information. google is not giving me the answers that i need and i know some members did mention they have ADT themselves so i thought i would ask the group.
when the system is being installed, does the technician name all the zones ? i’m guessing they are selected from a list but i am specifically wondering if the technician could name a door something that it is not necessarily - like calling the garage door the “back door”?
also wondering if a sliding glass door is considered a window or a door on your app when you open it. would it say “patio door” or whatever it says for opening a window.
