Protection 1, Romeoville, Ill., made two nearly simultaneous announcements that indicate an interesting period of diversification for the company.
First was the news of the company’s new P1 Life program, which is the company’s first foray into the home automation integrated with security space. P1 Life is a comprehensive service combining monitored security with home automation. While the company is very clear in its intentions to keep security as its primary mission and focus, the new product suite sets out to enhance the customer experience by enabling users to control other household functions such as temperature and lighting, and do it through a smart phone, tablet or personal computer.
