No Key? No Problem
If you’re prone to forgetting your house key, keyless entry ensures that will never be a problem again. Do your kids get home from school before you get home from work? They can type the access code into the keypad to get safely inside, and you can rearm your system from your cell phone.
If a contractor stops by to take measurements for your kitchen remodel, you can assign them a unique access code. You’ll be notified each time it’s used so you can keep tabs on who’s going in and out of your house. Keyless entry enhances the convenience of your smart home system and helps keep your home secure at all times. It’s a safety net worth having.
- Integrate with your system to remotely access keypad from mobile devices
- Get text or email alerts if a door is locked or unlocked
- Create and assign codes for temporary access to your home
- Change codes at any time on your ADT Command panel or Control app
You’ll Never Be Stranded with Smart Locks
You’ll Never Be Stranded with Smart Locks
Keyless entry works in perfect unison with smart locks to grant you access to your home without having to take out a key. You can choose to integrate your locks with the rest of your ADT monitored smart home system, or have them installed on their own. Either way, simply enter a few numbers on the digital keypad and you’re in.
Never deal with the anxiety of accidentally leaving your doors unsecured again—smart locks are always there to let you in and keep intruders out.
- Use a digital combination on the smart keypad to gain entry
- Assign customized codes for different people
- Program multiple locking and unlocking options with your smart home hub
- Receive an alert each time your doors lock and unlock
Smart Plugs Are Smart Saves
Smart Plugs Are Smart Saves
Smart plugs and outlets (also known as Wi-Fi-outlets) give you complete control over any lights and small appliances plugged into them. Smart plugs and outlets cut out unnecessary extension cords and power strips with a sleek, space-efficient design.
These smart devices are known to not only save energy, but to help prevent potential fire hazards by cutting off excess electricity at the touch of a button.
- Turn lamps on from anywhere with the ADT Command panel or mobile app
- Schedule lights to come on at a certain time if you’re out of town
- Integrate plugs and outlets with Amazon Alexa for voice control
- Use with small appliances to switch on at any time you choose
A Balanced Home Temperature Is No Sweat
A smart home thermostat puts an end to the battle of constantly adjusting your home’s temperature. Home automation offers easy temperature control from virtually anywhere—the ADT Command panel if you’re watching TV on the couch, or on your cell phone if you’re out shopping or at work.
You’ll also be able to set the thermostat on a schedule when you’re away from home. That way you can avoid frozen pipes while you’re on vacation or come home from work each day to a pleasant temperature. And to top it off, a smart thermostat is incredibly energy efficient, so you can keep your home’s comfort levels high and the bills low.
- Program custom notifications to inform you if your home’s temperature is too high or low
- Adjust your home’s temperature remotely from any mobile device
- Schedule your heat or air conditioning to come on at specific times of the day
- Include temperature adjustments when setting automated scenes
The ADT Command Panel Does It All
The ADT Command panel uses the latest smart home technology to give your system an advanced, comprehensive center of operations. Use the high-definition touchscreen to easily control your entire smart home system—lock doors, arm and disarm your security, check camera footage, and schedule specific tasks that devices can perform in unison.
The Command panel puts the power of ADT monitoring services directly into your hands so you can rest easy, day or night.
- Create customized scenes and schedules for maximum efficiency
- Integrate with Amazon Alexa to control automation features with verbal commands
- Pair smart home devices with your Command panel using Z-wave technology
- Get instant, high-decibel alerts through your panel if a security device is triggered
Complete Command and Control at Your Fingertips
The ADT Command panel and Control app work in perfect harmony with your home automation system, providing seamless integration while extending your own control far beyond the front door. The app and control panel can collectively pair with every component of your ADT monitored smart home security system.
If there are any changes to your home’s status (a door unlocking, a broken window, the smoke detector going off), you’ll receive instant alerts to your Command panel or the Control app on your cell phone, tablet, or smart watch.
- Access your live security camera feed to check on pets or unexpected visitors
- Lock your door or close your garage if you forgot to when you left your house
