How Security Systems Keep Homes Safe

1. Google Home™
It is great to use mobile apps to control your security system but with a Google Home you can control your system with the sound of your voice. You can now keep your home more secure and comfortable with our Google Home voice control integration. Intuitive voice commands can arm your system, turn your lights on, adjust your thermostat, lock your doors. Just say “Okay Google: Ask Alarm.com.”

2.  Fire™ TV
Have you ever been watching tv in the living room and wanted to adjust the thermostat from the comfort of your couch, but your phone is out of reach? You can now control your security system from your Fire TV® remote. You can watch all your whole home cameras on your television. You can download the Alarm.Com® Fire TV for and put the security control into your remote control.

3. Amazon® Echo™ and Alexa™
You can operate your smart home security system hands free with the new Amazon Echo integration that will enable voice commands for your smart lights, smart thermostat, door lock, and arming your security system. You can use your voice to control and check the status of the most important connected devices around your house. Just say "Alexa, ask Alarm.com

4. Nest Learning Thermostat®
New Nest integration is available for our smart home customers. The Nest Learning Thermostat aims to cut down energy costs by learning your heating and cooling preferences. When you first install the thermostat, it will record each time you set the temperature for your home. After about a week it will start automatically adjusting the temperature of your home based on your heating and cooling habits. The Nest Learning Thermostat has an embedded computer that connects to the Internet and can be controlled using our smart home app.

5. Apple Watch®
Our app for Apple Watch gives you awareness, control, and visibility, all with a glance at your wrist, making it ideal for interacting with your home when you're at work or on the go. Taptic feedback on your wrist lets you know when something's happening; one- touch commands let you address the situation with just a quick tap. Click on the demo below to try it.
