Resideo launches new smart home platform

Resideo Technologies recently announced the availability of its Honeywell Home ProSeries Security and Smart Home Platform.

Resideo says the platform provides dealers that serve the residential and small business market an end-to-end solution from entry-level to a fully integrated smart home.

“As families spend more time at home, it is more important than ever to have access to professional monitoring and the benefits of a connected smart home. With the introduction of our award-winning ProSeries Platform, our security dealer network can better meet the growing demand from customers for solutions that help keep families and businesses safe and secure,” said Alice DeBiasio, vice-president and general manager, global security, Resideo, in a statement.

The new ProSeries Platform includes an all-in-one wireless security panel with a 7-inch colour touchscreen, a family of wireless keypads and two-way sensors, alarms and accessories. The platform is designed for professional installation and allows for additions as technology trends evolve and families’ lifestyles change, according to the company.

System features include:

• Alerts for movement and intrusion — 24/7 professional monitoring can alert first responders, when necessary.
• The system informs families if they need to exit quickly through the company’s One-Go-All-Go alarm feature.
• Smart home control with hands-free disarming, a built-in Amazon Alexa voice assistant and a consistent user experience across all user interfaces and the Total Connect mobile app.

According to Resideo, product testing included a beta-testing program with security dealers.

“The new ProSeries Platform combines three critical elements – security, fire safety and smart home control – in an easy-to-use, all-in-one solution,” said Stephen Wheeler, president of Holmes Security Systems in Fayetteville, N.C. “During the beta trials, our whole team got excited about the new platform and really loved the two-way encrypted sensors and wireless keypads.”

The ProSeries Platform is available in North America through ADI Global Distribution.
