Using the Honeywell L7000 With SmartThings

In this video, Jorge from Alarm Grid explains how an L7000 System can be used with Samsung SmartThings. You can add the L7000 as a secondary controller to your SmartThings Hub. Z-Wave devices paired with SmartThings are automatically pushed over to the L7000 System after the pairing process is done.

The L7000 can only support Z-Wave devices if a Honeywell L5100-ZWAVE module is added first. You will need to do this before you can complete the integration between the system and Samsung SmartThings. Once you complete the integration, any Z-Wave device that is paired with the SmartThings Hub will be automatically pushed over to the L7000 System. You will also be able to control the Z-Wave devices through Total Connect 2.0 if the panel is connected with that platform. We recommend pairing all your Z-Wave devices with SmartThings before completing the integration.

There are a few different benefits that come from adding the L7000 as a secondary controller to your Samsung SmartThings Hub. For one, you will have the ability to operate your Z-Wave devices from the SmartThings App, from your L7000, and from TC2 if your panel is connected with that service. You can use TC2 to create smart scenes for Z-Wave devices pushed over the the L7000 as well. And since the devices are still paired with the SmartThings Hub, any Z-Wave devices will retain their Z-Wave Plus functionality when controlled using the L7000. This is true even though the L5100-ZWAVE module does not use Z-Wave Plus.

The process for adding the L7000 as a secondary controller for any primary controller is completed through the Advanced Z-Wave Tools Menu of the panel. The process will likely take several minutes to complete, as moving Z-Wave devices is a somewhat complicated endeavor. Note that Z-Wave devices paired with the L7000 will not be automatically pushed over to SamrtThings. You should delete any Z-Wave devices paired with the L7000 and add them to SmartThings before completing the integration.
