ADT Home | Away: Creating automations for smarter security

1 min read

With Home | Away, when all registered devices leave the home, the system can lock doors, adjust settings and arm the security system.

With the latest ADT+ mobile app update, ADT+ Security System customers gain access to Home | Away, a feature that detects the location of participating mobile devices within a home’s geofence to determine occupancy. If all registered devices leave the home, the system can automatically switch to Away mode, intelligently triggering security automations such as locking doors, adjusting smart home settings and arming the security system.

Key Home | Away capabilities include:

  • View real-time occupancy status in the ADT+ dashboard.
  • Receive automated alerts when the system is unarmed and no one is home.
  • Grant Trusted Neighbors and helpers access during their designated window.
  • With your permission, provide ADT monitoring agents with visibility into home occupancy during an alarm event (for customers with professional monitoring).
  • Manually update your home status at any time.
