When it comes to automation and smart home technology, today’s consumers are faced with new market entrants on a daily basis. So many homes are filled with multiple ways of interfacing with automation, security and smart devices. Universal remotes may have solved the coffee table clutter of the past but what is today’s solution for multiple apps on your mobile device to control the smart home features consumers love.

On July 17, 2018, Alula is rolling out a unified smart home experience. One feature-rich application that puts home automation, smart security and soon video access at your fingertips across all of your customers’ devices.

Security in your life. Not on the wall.

Whether on a smartphone, tablet or the Connect+ Touchpad, Alula’s simple, integrated app delivers direct control over consumer’s smart home features and security system. Without being tied to a panel on the wall, mobile app users can control lights, locks, thermostats, cameras and garage doors independently or in combination with the arming and disarming of their security system, in whatever order you choose.

Updated Features

Consistent look and feel across all devices

Insanely fast scenes and automation

Alula Connects Alexa for a Simplified Security Experience

Voice assistant technology continues to become a staple in consumers’ homes. By combining Alexa with the industry’s fastest-response times of the Connect+, Alula provides voice control that delivers the simplified experience your customers expect.

“…with Alexa Voice Assistant integration, homeowners can control the critical security and automation features of their Alula Connect+ Platform.”

Using any product with Alexa Voice Assistant integration, homeowners can control the critical security features of their Alula Connect+ Platform.

Just ask Alexa to:

• Arm the Connect+ platform
• Get the status of the Connect+ platform
• Disarm the Connect+ platform using a verbal PIN Code
• Run home automation scenes by name that are already known to the Connect+ platform

In a smart home first culture, consumers expect the speed and flexibility of tapping, swiping or talking from wherever they may be. With Alula’s “always-connected” broadband backbone and Alexa “always-listening” interface your customers will not only experience a seamless response but at speeds that leave competitors behind.

At the heart of Alula is a desire to create simple, seamless and secure solutions for professional dealers. Solutions that meet the demands of today’s consumers while simplifying the way you do business. Be sure to head to the app store on your apple or android device and experience it for yourself!
