Short answer: no. ADT does not natively support Apple HomeKit, and there is no official path to get it working through ADT’s own apps or hardware. If HomeKit integration is your priority, ADT is the wrong security system to build around.
That said, there is a Homebridge workaround for ADT Pulse customers, and it does work – with caveats. Here is what you actually need to know.
ADT’s Smart Home Partnerships (And Why Apple Is Not One of Them)
In 2020, Google made a $450 million investment in ADT, and the two companies built a joint product around Nest hardware and Google Home. That relationship is central to ADT’s smart home strategy. The current ADT+ platform runs entirely within Google’s ecosystem.
What that means for you: ADT+ works with Google Assistant and Nest devices. It does not work with Apple HomeKit or Amazon Alexa. The deeper ADT gets into the Google partnership, the less likely native HomeKit support becomes.
ADT also supports Matter, the cross-platform smart home standard backed by Apple, Google, Amazon, and Samsung. Matter support gives you some device interoperability, but it is not the same as HomeKit integration – you cannot arm your ADT system through the Apple Home app.
On the platform side: ADT Pulse, the older smart home system (based on iControl), was phased out around 2019-2020 and replaced by ADT Command and Control (Alarm.com-based). ADT+ launched in 2023 as the DIY-facing platform. ADT Pulse is being wound down, though it is still active for existing customers.
Any Path to HomeKit With ADT?
There is one, but it requires extra hardware and it only applies if you have ADT Pulse (the older platform).
The homebridge-adt-pulse plugin connects ADT Pulse to Homebridge, which then exposes your ADT devices to the Apple Home app. It is an open-source plugin, verified by the Homebridge team, and actively maintained as of early 2026. You can use it to arm/disarm your system and view sensor status from Apple Home or via Siri.
Limitations worth knowing before you go down this path:
- Only works with ADT Pulse – not ADT Command, ADT+, or Blue by ADT
- Z-Wave accessories connected to the Pulse gateway are not supported
- Requires a machine running Homebridge 24/7 (Raspberry Pi, a spare computer, or a HOOBS device)
- ADT Pulse is being phased out, which means this integration has an expiration date
Blue by ADT (ADT’s self-monitoring DIY product) has listed HomeKit as a planned integration for some time. As of 2026 it is not available.
How To Add ADT Pulse to Apple HomeKit via Homebridge
If you are on ADT Pulse and want to connect it to Apple HomeKit, here are the steps:
Install Homebridge on a always-on device.
Download Homebridge from homebridge.io. A Raspberry Pi or HOOBS device works well. The device needs to stay on for the integration to function.
Open the Homebridge dashboard and go to Plugins.
Log in to the Homebridge web interface, click the Plugins tab in the top navigation.
Search for homebridge-adt-pulse and install it.
Type “homebridge-adt-pulse” in the search box. Click Install on the result by mrjackyliang.
Configure the plugin with your ADT Pulse credentials.
After installation, you will be prompted to enter your ADT Pulse username, password, and fingerprint (a unique ID tied to your account). The plugin settings page walks you through each field.
Restart Homebridge.
Click the Restart button at the top right of the dashboard. The plugin will connect to ADT Pulse on startup.
Add Homebridge to Apple Home.
Open the Home app on your iPhone or iPad, tap the + icon, and scan the Homebridge QR code shown on your Homebridge dashboard. Your ADT Pulse sensors and alarm status will appear in Apple Home.
HomeKit-Native Security System Alternatives
If you want HomeKit to work without a bridge and without a workaround, the honest answer is that your options are narrow. As of 2026, Abode is the only major security system with certified native HomeKit integration. Ring (Amazon-owned) has no HomeKit support and Amazon has shown no interest in adding it. SimpliSafe has no HomeKit support either. Eufy supports HomeKit on some individual cameras, but its full security system does not.
If you are starting fresh and HomeKit is non-negotiable, Abode is the only system worth evaluating. If you already have ADT Pulse and want to keep your monitoring contract while adding Apple Home, the Homebridge path above is the most practical option.
