Now iPhone users can control the smart home directly from the car screen thanks to the support of Apple Carplay in the alrm.com system. This means that you can open the garage, turn on the light, lock the doors and activate security modes without being distracted from the road.
Previously, the function was available only on Android Auto. In Carplay, she works through simple presses. You can, for example, with one touch to activate the “house” or “gone” mode to automatically turn on or off the necessary devices.
For use, you need a compatible machine with Carplay, iPhone and the installed alarm.com system – it is not available in all regions. Integration with CarPlay also allows you to launch automatic scenarios related to your location – for example, turn on heating before arriving home.
In the future, it is worth expecting new functions – for example, an improved connection with Siri.
