Lowe’s Rolls Out Cloud-Based Home Security & Automation in Partnership With AlertMe
Lowe's Companies Inc. last week launched Iris™, its new cloud-based smart home solution. Iris allows homeowners to monitor and control their home from anywhere via smart phone, tablet or computer with a free basic level of service. Iris is currently available on Lowes.com and will be available in 500 stores by the end of August.
“We know that because of advances in technology and the Internet, one day virtually everything in the home will be connected and controlled by the homeowner via smart phone or tablet,” said Greg Bridgeford, Lowe’s chief customer officer. “We also know that what is currently available in the marketplace for the smart home simply isn’t working for homeowners because systems are complex and expensive. Iris changes the game. It offers our customers simple, affordable and customized solutions to make their homes safer, more efficient and customized to their needs, interests and life stage.”
