ADT Pulse Review: Home Security and Home Automation Combined

From GeekDad - by Brad Moon

ADT Pulse Home Automation"Like many in the GeekDad community, I have an interest in home automation. Not only is the technology cool, but the potential to increase my home’s energy efficiency and safety has always been a top priority. That’s not just the peace of mind of knowing our home is secure when we’re away, but also knowing that critical safety systems — like smoke detectors and CO detectors — are not just installed, but monitored. I started dabbling with home automation and remote access in a real way with a Philips Hue installation last year and ramped it up to an entirely new level with ADT’s Pulse system. Now we have automation for key systems, remote access for the door lock, interior lighting and thermostat, notifications for key events and access to live video feeds. And I have to say, it’s pretty sweet."     Read More...

Investors Need to take a Look at ADT's Pulse

The Motley Fool - News and Investing

"The key to ADT's future is Pulse, its version of home automation. Using its existing sales and distribution channels, ADT is finding success in its Pulse product, even with sharp competition from some big names such as Verizon and Time Warner, which have arguably better distribution channels and a more recognizable imprint in customers' homes.
