Mobile App, Devices and Monitoring Services for Connected
Lifestyles--
The smart home is more accessible than ever with the launch of
Reliant’s new suite of home security packages and automation tools.
These solutions help customers connect anywhere, anytime, to what
is often their largest investment – their home.
Retail electricity customers can now sign up for a customizable
security package from Reliant, or enroll in a new electricity plan
that offers a home automation package. These new advances provide a
broad customer-focused platform for integrating emerging and future
home technology innovations.
“We are passionate about powering people at home and on the go
and with these new security and home automation solutions, we can
make life easier and more comfortable for consumers,” said
Elizabeth Killinger, president of NRG Retail and Reliant.
“Customers can conveniently and remotely control devices in their
home through a new app – all from the comfort of their couch or
from thousands of miles away.”
The security solution offers 24/7 professional, live security
monitoring services, expert installation and remote access via
mobile devices and computers. Customers on the go can use the app
to:
- Arm/disarm their security system;
- Open/close their garage door and know
when it’s open or closed;
- Turn on/off their lights even when away
from home;
- Unlock/lock their doors remotely to let
family, friends, contractors or others into their home; and
- Keep an eye on their home with video
cameras that record based on specific actions, such as when the
alarm is triggered.
In addition to the new security offering, customers who want
home automation can sign up for a select Reliant Free WeekendsSM 24
plan that includes an easy to install package with a smart
thermostat, smart plug and gateway device. Customers can then use
the mobile app to:
- Connect to devices via the
gateway;
- Set schedules for appliances and lights
using their smart plug; and
- Lower cooling and heating bills by
setting a smart schedule for their thermostat, which can reduce
costs up to 10% annually according to a Department of Energy
study.
Consumers can call 1.844.758.7674 for more information on
products and services.
