Solution Delivers New Ways of Interacting With Security Systems
Telguard added HomeControl Flex to its Telguard HomeControl family of home automation solutions. HomeControl Flex allows end users to integrate more than 170 smart home products and Web services with its security system using the free Internet of Things (IoT) services of IFTTT. IFTTT, (pronounced like “gift” without the g), is a service that lets consumers create powerful connections with one simple statement — if this, then that. HomeControl Flex doesn’t stop at lights, locks and thermostats; it lets end users connect their security system easily and affordably to almost any part of their lives including their wearables, cars, work schedules and daily habits.
With the existing Telguard HomeControl platform for 2GIG and DSC, security dealers can still offer a curated home automation ecosystem. But with the addition of HomeControl Flex, they can now choose to focus on delivering professionally monitored security while allowing the end user to self-integrate and self-support consumer products via free IoT services.
