They can also receive email or video alerts about important events such as when or whether a child has arrived home from school, if floods, leaks or extreme temperature changes have been detected or if motion has been sensed in a protected indoor or outdoor area.

“The enhancements we’ve made to Tuxedo Touch represent a perfect example of how Honeywell focuses on a better user experience when designing products,” said Alan Stoddard, senior marketing director, Honeywell Security Products Americas. “Security professionals must cater to evolving consumer expectations, and today, the expectation is convenience. Tuxedo Touch paired with Honeywell Total Connect provides homeowners anywhere, anytime visibility and control of their connected home.”
