ADS Security (ADS), Nashville, Tenn., is the latest security dealer company to announce the addition of home automation services to its core home security offering. The new automation components added to ADS Aniware®, the company’s remote security management service, offer a new high-tech home control system service with security at its core. ADS Home Control delivers home security and home automation packaged together and remotely managed from anywhere on a mobile device.
“We have been working hard on developing a comprehensive home control solution that integrates seamlessly with our traditional security services that we can support out of our central station. This launch is the culmination of a launch across our 14 branches,” said ADS president and chief operating officer, John Cerasuolo. He added that the company began rolling the new services out this spring — roughly five months ago — but the process of evaluating different technologies and developing the branding began in late 2011. “We were very focused on making sure these new product installations go very smoothly and that we didn't put our customers through our learning curve… So that when we did launch it, the first customer would have the same experience as the 100th customer.”
