For Home - Automation

Control that strengthens security and simplifies life

Q: Do I have to automate my whole home at once?

No. Many homeowners start with one or two connected devices and expand over time. Because connected automation is designed to grow with your needs, you can build a smarter home at your own pace.

Q: Can home automation help lower my energy bills?

Yes. Home automation can help reduce unnecessary energy use by automatically adjusting lighting, temperature, and other connected devices based on your schedule and whether anyone is home. Small automations can add up to big energy savings over time.

Alarm.com connects your everyday smart home devices to your security system for automated protection and convenience.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a smart home and a home automation system?

Smart devices can be controlled individually, while a home automation system connects them to work together. Instead of managing separate apps for your lights, locks, thermostat, and other devices, automation lets your home respond automatically based on schedules, routines, or activity.

Do I have to automate my whole home at once?

Can home automation help lower my energy bills?

What are the most useful home automations for everyday life?

Home automation can simplify everyday routines by handling tasks like adjusting the thermostat before you go to bed, turning off lights after you leave, locking doors at night, or preparing your home before you arrive. With Alarm.com, you can also automate routines based on your phone's location using geofencing, or control your home from the road with Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™. The goal is to reduce repetitive tasks so your home works around your lifestyle.

Can home automation improve home security?

Yes. Home automation and security work together to help protect your home by making everyday routines automatic. For example, your system can lock doors at night, turn lights on and off while you're away, or trigger routines that help make your home appear occupied while you're on vacation.

Will home automation actually make my life easier?

Yes, when it's built as part of a connected, professionally-backed home. Alarm.com home automation brings your lights, locks, thermostats, garage doors, and other compatible devices together on one platform, allowing them to work together automatically based on your routines. Instead of managing individual devices, your home can proactively respond to the way you live.
