ADT Blu is a DIY home security system that comes with a catch

• ADT has launched a new DIY home security system called ADT Blu.
• It lets users buy individual cameras and sensors, or complete kits and install everything on their own.
• However, it doesn’t support Nest integration, which can be a deal-breaker for many.

If you’ve always wanted to set up a DIY home security system, ADT has a new offering that might just be what you need — or not, depending on what your smart home interests looks like.

The new ADT Blu service works with the company’s ADT Plus app and is a fully DIY system aimed at users who want the flexibility of setting up their home security exactly how they want to, without being confused by multiple package deals that may or may not offer the devices they want.
