The folks over at Alarm.com have officially released their own CarPlay app for its users.
Dan Kerzner, President of Platforms Business at Alarm.com said in a press release that these updates are making its app and Alarm.com more innovative.
“At Alarm.com, we’re always looking for ways to make home security and automation more intuitive and accessible, wherever life takes our customers,” he said. “This new capability continues Alarm.com’s commitment to expanding the connected home experience beyond traditional screens, ensuring that users can stay safe, informed, and in control when they’re on the road.”
Here are the key features of Alarm.com released in the CarPlay app:
- Hassle-Free Garage Door Control: Easily open and close compatible garage doors with a tap, whether pulling into the driveway or leaving for the day. Plus, conveniently check the status of the garage door from the car’s display to verify that it is closed and secure.
- Easily Come and Go: Quickly activate Home, Away, and customized Scenes to automate multiple smart home devices simultaneously for whole-property control. Turn on entryway lights, unlock the front door, and disarm the system as you arrive home with the tap of a button.
- Streamline Operations: Simplify daily operations by setting up Open and Close Scenes tailored for small businesses. With one tap, turn off lights, adjust the thermostat, arm the system, and lock doors at closing—or reverse it all when opening.
In order for Alarm.com app users to access its new CarPlay, their iPhone must have support for CarPlay functionality, as well as a vehicle with CarPlay support as well.
It should also be noted that Alarm.com does have an app available for Android Auto users too. To get the CarPlay support for the Alarm.com app, they must be running the newest version of the Alarm.com app on their iPhone.
