EDITOR’S REMARKS
Another great use of a smartphone instead of a remote. With this app you can control almost every function of your home, while you are away. Let the kids in when they ring the bell after hours. Arm the front door while you’re out back … the app is quite flexible. If you forget to set your alarm, you can activate it from anywhere. You can also control your home’s thermostat, adjust the lights. You can also view a live video feed (as long as you have the proper equipment installed at home).
THE BEST: Great peace of mind. You’ve spent the money on a great alarm system, the phone adds value.
NEEDS WORK: The installation and equipment you need to control all these services could add up to thousands of dollars.
