We're Rolling Out Protocol Compatibility Pages

There have been a lot of changes in the industry over the last few years. Alarm Grid has always tried to be at the forefront of the industry both in terms of our quality of support as well as our providing of resources to customers. One of the big changes the last year is the introduction of smart home systems that integrate with the security system. These include products like Alexa, Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Samsung's Smart Things and lesser known, open source protocols like Home Assistant.

For a lot of alarm companies, this is scary. Disruption is amazingly difficult to respond to. For Alarm Grid, it's more of the same. We're here to help you take care of your security needs. These protocols are enhancements to our service of dispatching the police when you need us to do that.

In order to help customers better navigate this changing world, today we introduced the protocol compatibility pages. These pages will let customers navigate the simple question, "will this panel or sensor or device work with [insert awesome protocol or home automation device here]?"

You will see badges on each product page. These badges will give you an indication of which protocols each product is compatible with. So far, we are showing Alarm.com, Alexa, HomeKit, Google Home, Home Assistant, Total Connect, and Z-Wave and Z-Wave Plus compatibility icons.

If you have any questions about compatibilities, please feel free to email us at support@alarmgrid.com. But in the meantime, we hope this change is helpful. We try to give you the best, easiest to navigate site in the entire industry, and we think this goes a long way to helping achieve that goal. Happy shopping!
