Here's What Popular Smart Home Features Actually Mean

You can get all the secure smart home features you actually want from ADT.

1. A smart thermostat is ACTUALLY like if the weather responded to your mood.

OK, so maybe not the weather, but definitely the climate of your house. You like it to be a breezy 68 degrees at night? Your smart thermostat is way ahead of you, making it happen.

2. A video doorbell is ACTUALLY like having a doorman.

Ever wish you had a doorman to screen visitors? Or one to speak to the deliveryman while you're at work? You don't need to hire a human being to accomplish those tasks — you can just install a video doorbell.

3. Security cameras will ACTUALLY make you feel like you have eyes everywhere.

Sure, you can't see everything that's happening everywhere, but you can get a taste of that omniscient power by installing security cameras in your home.

4. A voice assistant is ACTUALLY like having a small army of personal assistants.

Let's be honest: You've totally fantasized about having a team of people attend to your most basic commands. Live your best life by telling a voice assistant to dim the lights, change the music, and order some more toilet paper.

5. Connected devices are ACTUALLY like having a remote control for everything in your home.

What if you could turn anything in your home on and off with your phone? You can with connected devices, and you should.

6. Remote door locks are ACTUALLY like having a super-helpful neighbor.

Oh no! You've left for vacation and aren't sure if you locked your front door. You need to call your neighbor...or check your remote door lock. Lock and unlock your doors from anywhere, without bothering your neighbors!
