1. Anytime, Anywhere Monitoring

With the Home Is Connected package, homebuyers receive a suite of smart home products that work together with ease and keep you connected with your home—whether you’re there or away.

Alarm.com is the heartbeat of the entire package, bringing your system together and allowing you to monitor activity at your fingertips. With this one-app solution, you can view front door visitors from your smart device, make sure your door is locked when you’re gone for the day, and more.

Our team can add even more control to your smart package for extra security. Can’t remember if you left the garage door open when you left for work? Want to know if your kids made it home safely after school? Or maybe you want to monitor and control your sprinklers while you’re away on vacation. Whatever matters most to you, we can make sure you’re connected to it anytime, anywhere.

2. Hands-Free Automation

It’s never been easier to settle into a new routine. The Home Is Connected package comes with voice control capability from Amazon Alexa and a Qolsys IQ panel that bridges all your devices together.

Set a customized scene with your voice, from your smartphone, through the Qolsys panel – or schedule it and forget it. Just say the word and your house with lock up, turn off the lights, close your shades, and more.

Our team can add even more automation solutions to best suit your lifestyle. Set scenes that activate based on trigger points around your home for optimal safety.

For example, when a potential intruder approaches the perimeter of your home, your indoor and outdoor lights can turn on, and a notification can be sent to your home or even the authorities alerting them of a break-in.

Alarm.com’s geo-services feature is another automation solution that understands when you’re home and when you’re not by using your smartphone’s location on a digital map. Once you’re out of reach of your geo-service perimeter, Alarm.com will make sure your home is locked up and secure to your exact specifications.

3. A Smart Home that Grows with You

The Home Is Connected package is designed to enable your smart home system to grow with you as you expand or renovate your property. The entire suite speaks to Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Z-Wave, and cellular devices so you can sync with almost any smart device.

Want to add more smart bulbs around your home? Need an additional smart thermostat installed upstairs? No problem. However you decide to grow your smart home, we’re here to help. Our longtime expertise in smart home solutions keeps your property safe, elegant, fun, and easy to use for everyone.
