Smart Locks

Keys are so last year. With devices like push-to-start cars and smart locks, our keychains are getting lighter and lighter. Smart locks are well worth the install when you consider their convenience. Simply having to press a button to lock the door on your way out, and never having to remember your house key again is certainly a major upgrade to the old-fashioned way. An added bonus? No more having to make a million copies of the key for every family member!

A smart thermostat is a must-have for all those thermostat-protecting dads out there. Or anyone who wants to keep it cool right from their phone. Not only do ADT’s smart thermostats allow you to control the temperature of your home from your phone, but you can also set auto schedules to help save on energy costs when you’re not home and set up custom alerts to notify you when your home is getting too hot or too cold for your liking. The best part? No more having to leave your cozy bed to change the temperature.

Smart Speakers

What did you say? We couldn’t hear you over the sound of the music we just asked our Google Assistant to play. Smart devices that connect to your phone are nice, but sometimes you don’t want to even have to lift a finger. That’s where a smart speaker comes in handy. With hundreds (maybe even thousands) of Hey Google commands, the possibilities of what your Google Nest Mini can do for you are endless.

Smart Plugs

Any device can be a smart device if you really believe. Well, maybe your imagination won’t turn your devices smart, but a smart plug can! Smart plugs are a great way to control small appliances and lights through your phone. With ADT’s smart plugs you can dim your lights, turn on and off lights or small appliances, and even schedule timed events for your products to turn on or off.
