Protection 1, responding to consumer demand to combine home security, home automation and energy efficiency, has added central alarm operator video alarm verification and other features to its HALO home automation platform.
Using a mobile app, residential users can control and manage interactive security, video monitoring and energy management solutions along with other connected devices. It's powered by Alarm.com's cloud-based software platform.
To reduce energy costs, sensor information learns a home's activity patterns and creates “Smart Schedules” for efficient energy management, Protection 1 said in a prepared statement. That includes adjusting the thermostat to save energy when the customer is not at home and turns the heat back up when the customer is on the way home.
Customers also have the option of integrating solar energy into the system.
