Low-voltage dealers and installers can grow their businesses by positioning the enhanced offering as a security system controller that also meets growing demand for connected lifestyles. When pairing Tuxedo Touch with Honeywell Total Connect Remote Services, a consumer can use the same smartphones or tablets they use every day to unlock a door for a family member or control their lighting, heating and cooling systems so they arrive to a comfortable, well-lit home. 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.”
