Alarm.com has announced its support for Apple CarPlay, extending customers’ smart home control to their vehicle’s in-built display. Using CarPlay’s simple and intuitive interface, iPhone users can manage key security and automation features easily and safely from their car.
“At Alarm.com, we’re always looking for ways to make home security and automation more intuitive and accessible, wherever life takes our customers,” said Dan Kerzner, President of Platforms Business, Alarm.com. “This new capability continues Alarm.com’s commitment to expanding the connected home experience beyond traditional screens, ensuring that users can stay safe, informed, and in control when they’re on the road.”
This support, alongside existing support for Android Auto, extends Alarm.com’s platform – providing customers with secure, convenient access to their property controls, in the home or on the move.
Customers can also use Alarm.com Places to automate routines such as adjusting lights, loking doors, and managing thermostats based on their phone’s location.
Key features of Alarm.com on Apple CarPlay:
- Hassle-free garage door control: easily open and close compatible garage doors with a tap, whether pulling into the driveway or leaving for the day. Plus, conveniently check the status of the garage door from the car’s display to verify that it is closed and secure.
- Easily come and go: quickly activate Home, Away, and customised Scenes to automate multiple smart home devices simultaneously for whole-property control. Turn on entryway lights, unlock the front door, and disarm the system as you arrive home with the tap of a button
- Streamline operations: simplify daily operations by setting up Open and Close Scenes tailored for small businesses. With one tap, turn off lights, adjust the thermostat, arm the system, and lock doors at closing—or reverse it all when opening.
