iBridge Expands Your Security System To Control Your Entire Home

Home Controls is now offering the brand new iBridge Connected Home System from Napco Security. This new product line not only features remote control of your Napco Gemini Security System, but also allows you to expand your system to include home automation features! Napco’s iBridge line of interactive remote services – including security, video, lighting, temperature and locking controls – are available through the iBridge App for use on any smartphone (iPhone or Android) and smart device (tablet or iPad).

iBridge home automation controls operate using Z-Wave, a proven, wireless mesh networking technology that is a standard in wireless home control. Devices can be manually activated, locally or remotely, and set to respond with custom scenes, schedules or occupancy (ie, when a room is entered lights light, temperature is increased, etc.). Anytime a custom scene is created, a button with the same name is automatically added to the Scenes Screen, so that it can later be manually activated at will, too.
