Smart Thermostat (ADC-T25)

The Alarm.com ADC-T25 is a sleek, Z-Wave Plus smart thermostat with a capacitive-touch/OLED display, designed for fast installs and smart energy savings. It can run on 24 VAC or batteries (no C-wire required), auto-detects wiring and auto-configures, and plugs into the Alarm.com platform for remote control, scenes, energy-saving schedules, and Pro HVAC Monitoring.

Why Choose This with Smart Shield Systems


  • No-C-wire? No problem. We wire the T25 for battery operation when a common wire isn’t available, then complete auto-configuration and testing.

  • HVAC done right: We configure the Z-terminal for what your system needs—2nd-stage heat/cool (W2/Y2), O/B, zoning, humidifier, dehumidifier, or ventilation (HRV/ERV/external baffle)—and verify operation.

  • Smart automations: We build Alarm.com scenes & schedules and enable Pro HVAC Monitoring so you get health reports and proactive service options.

  • Secure Z-Wave setup: We join with SmartStart + S2 (with Long Range) for reliable performance on large properties.
