ADS Security(ADS), a local security company, merged its primary service, home security, with home automation to 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.

ADS is proud to offer a home automation service from a company that has always had safety and security as its primary focus,” said ADS president and COO, John Cerasuolo. “ADS Home Control merges seamlessly with our core business, home security, to offer an ideal home management experience.”

ADS Home Control saves homeowners time, money and energy by allowing them to manage their home when it’s convenient for them. Whether at home or away, residents can arm or disarm their security system, lock or unlock doors, and adjust lights, thermostat and small appliances. Home control systems help reduce energy bills by letting homeowners make instant adjustments to the thermostats and lights. Automatic adjustments can also be set by customizing home control schedules.

Home Control systems are easily and securely managed away from home with the ADS Aniware® mobile app, available for download on an iPhone®, Android® or Blackberry®. The app allows homeowners the freedom to instantly manage home activities from anywhere like turning down the thermostat, disarming the alarm and unlocking the door, dimming the lights, or turning off the television.

Homeowners stay informed with email or text alerts that notify them of events at home like family member arrivals, alarm activation or temperature change. In the case that an ADS Home Control alarm is activated, homeowners are alerted and a signal will be sent securely to ADS’ CSAAFive Diamond certified Monitoring Center.
