<article> <section class="page"> <p> SHaaS (Smart-Home-as-a-Service) provider Alarm.com (https://www.alarm.com/) has integrated its cloud-based connected-home platform with Amazon's Echo (http://www.techhive.com/article/2954508/home-control/amazon-echo-review-betcha-cant-buy-just-one-of-these-voice-activated-connected-home-controllers.html) wireless speaker and voice-command device as well as the new HomeKit-compatible Apple TV (http://www.techhive.com/article/3000302/home-players/apple-tv-review-big-steps-forward-but-not-a-revolution.html).</p><p> Alarm.com's new Apple TV app, available from the tvOS App Store, sounds almost identical to the Amazon Fire TV app that the company launched last June. You can use it to watch live HD feeds from your home-security cameras on the biggest and most convenient screen in your home--your TV. According to the firm, the app’s interface includes support for multi-user logins and the viewing of video feeds from across multiple properties. Although the company's press release doesn't provide details, we presume that this new app can be used to view up to four camera feeds simultaneously, just like the Fire TV version.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3018530/connected-home/smart-home-service-provider-alarmcom-integrates-apple-tv-and-amazon-echo-into-its-cloud-based-platf.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Smart-home service provider Alarm.com integrates Apple TV and Amazon Echo into its cloud-based platform (http://www.macworld.com/article/3018530/connected-home/smart-home-service-provider-alarmcom-integrates-apple-tv-and-amazon-echo-into-its-cloud-based-platf.html#tk.rss_all) |
