"Resideo is a pioneer in the home security and life-safety industry, and we continue to develop our next wave of connected home technology to help homeowners feel safe and secure,” said Matthew Robbins, vice president Global Product Management, Integrated Home & Building Solutions at Resideo. “Resideo is focused on expanding our award-winning, end-to-end platform and ecosystem to deliver a differentiated smart home for our security dealers and to help them protect what matters most.”

Resideo Pro series smart home platform enhancements

The Pro Series Platform offers Resideo's largest range of supported home solutions in one modular, scalable system. The latest firmware update features like dealer branding is now available on the Pro Series panels, touchscreens and Resideo's Total Connect 2.0 app to help increases awareness with end users. Customised voice descriptions also offer end-users increased personalisation and the ability to uniquely identify areas of the home or business – thought to be a first in the industry.

In addition, a Google Assistant integration offers simple voice control and is now available on the Pro Series A7 Plus.  The company has also provided immediate help for end users and made it easy to access self-help videos through a QR code.

The Pro Series panel also serves as a Wifi access point for connecting touchscreen keypads offering increased flexibility during installation.

With immediate effect, the Brilliant Smart Home System is now compatible with Resideo's most popular security platforms, including Lynx and Vista security systems, in addition to its Pro Series Security platform, which was announced last year. The Lyric system integration is expected to be available later this year.

Brilliant is the first third-party touchscreen system that can arm and disarm Resideo’s security system. For example, Resideo’s Total Connect 2.0 platform-users can arm and disarm their Resideo security system from their in-wall Brilliant Smart Home Control or their Brilliant mobile app. The status of the Resideo security system and Total Connect cameras can also be displayed on the Brilliant Smart Home Controller.

With the integration, Brilliant now supports Resideo life safety statuses, including fire, carbon monoxide and medical alarms; Resideo Z-wave device integrations, such as lights, locks, plugs, and switches; and home automation scenes that combine Resideo security system integrations with a range of smart home products controlled by Brilliant including garage openers, window shades, sound systems, and more.

Brilliant already integrates with Resideo’s Honeywell Home smart thermostats and its Wifi water leak & freeze detector, and additional system integrations are planned later this year.
