Internet of Things, Meet…The Security of Things

Take Control of Your Smart ADT Security Virtually Anywhere

We live in an age when we expect great technology – think of the Internet of Things – to make our lives easier and better. The ADT Control app builds on that notion to create a smarter security and automation system. Let’s call it The Security of Things.

ADT Control offers a seamless transition from at-home or at-work, to mobile smart security and automation. It extends the functionality of your ADT Command smart home or business security system, and puts it in the palm of your hand – virtually anywhere you go around the world. It goes beyond protecting what matters most to you, and delivers really smart security for your home or business.

How the ADT Control app puts you in command of your smart security and automation:

• Arm or disarm your home or business security from virtually anywhere.
• Control your lights so your home or business always looks occupied.
• Lock or unlock your doors remotely to let in contractors, visitors or the dog walker.
• Receive alerts when your system status changes or a door is unlocked, such as when your kids arrive home or your manager gets to work. Then view live video to check in on them.
• Adjust your smart thermostat to make everyone comfortable and even potentially lower your energy expenses.

Create Scenes and Schedules to bring it all together!
Using the ADT Control app, you can create scenes and schedules that give you the ultimate one-touch control of your smart home or business security and automation:
• Set up automations for leaving or arriving to your home or business.
• Create a vacation Scene that turns on different lights at different times, turns the TV or radio on and off, and generally makes it look like you’re home when you’re away.
• Adjust your system for different times of day so your security, lighting, temperature and other smart features are at the perfect settings, at the right time.

You need to make it easier to download images and videos. Your instructions do not follow what is in the screen on my phone. There is no favorite or device button to select. This app is pretty useless. and ADT is itself useless because they don't keep up with technology. The ADT system can be bypassed with current technology advances that ADT doesn't know of yet

This is an awesome app. With a lot of potential. Will be nice to be able to choose a default setting instead of the current home screen. I would like to be able to set it on my Zwave thermostats. The feature is there and very nice with colors, but I can't set it as default. Other options could be colorful interactive weather displays, etc. It really needs features for user customization, and it will be more awesome.

We have ADT at our business and have for about 5 years, and could monitor our business through the app. The app will no longer connect to the cameras. ADT installed a new system, the app worked for a couple of weeks, and now it always says "failed to connect ". It's very frustrating!!! How are we supposed to monitor when we are away?
