iControl Powers Bright House Networks Home Security & Control
Bright House Networks Home Security & Control Provides Advanced Home Management and Always-On Connection
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., May 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- iControl Networks, a leader in connected home technology and innovation, today announced that its iControl Converge(TM) software platform is powering the Bright House Networks Home Security & Control solution. Bright House Networks Home Security & Control is a next generation system that puts customers in charge of their home security and comfort no matter where they are - at home, at the office or on the go.
With the power of iControl's Converge platform, Bright House Networks Home Security & Control offers centrally monitored and self-managed security, as well as energy, light and home appliance management via an in-home touchscreen, the web and smart phones. The alert feature enables users to customize their systems to send instant text or email notifications when the kids have returned home safely after school, or if there is suspicious behavior around the home. Users can even receive live or recorded video of their homes.
Acting as the hub of the Home Security & Control system is an advanced, yet easy-to-use, interactive touchscreen powered by iControl. In addition to creating and monitoring system settings, users can check the news and weather, watch live and recorded video feed of home activity and more.
"We're excited to partner with Bright House Networks to bring advanced home control, security and connectivity to their customer base," said Jim Johnson, executive vice president and general manager at iControl. "Bright House Networks customers will quickly appreciate how simple it is to manage their homes and gain the reassurance that comes with a home management service like this."
