Half a century later the Smart Home of our the space age family is quickly becoming a reality.

Posted by Taniqua Pino on Thu,Sep 04,2014 @ 12:22 PM

Your ADT Pulse Thermostat, along with your ADT Pulse system, conserves energy and saves you money and valuable time. Remote acces lets you manually adjust your thermostat from anywhere you have internet access, so that you can constantly monitor your energy consumption.

You can also set up a schedule to have a warm toasty room at specific times each day. Or set up an automation where another event in your system causes a reaction in your thermostat. For example, arming your home security system can turn the thermostat down automatically. That way, you can't forget to adjust the thermostat when you are gone.

Alerts send you text messages and/or emails that alert you that certain events have occurred. Set up an alert to text anytime it hits below 60 in your home, them remotely adjust the temperature if necessary. Finally, settin up a modes will direct the thermostat to act in a pre-described manner each time that mode is enacted. Your thermostat can have a low setting in "vacation mode" and a warmer setting for "at home mode". Activating each mode will automatically tell your thermostat, locks, lights, cameras and security system to do its specified job for that mode, with one simple command.
