ADT’s new smart security system will unlock your door for a Trusted Neighbor

ADT’s Google Nest-inspired security system is now available nationwide

According to ADT’s chief business officer, Wayne Thorsen, the technology behind the new system — which uses DECT Ultra Low Energy, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, and BLE protocols — is able to integrate more deeply with hardware from smart home partners like Yale and Google, allowing for more advanced automation. It can also leverage the and the Yale lock’s connection to the ADT system to have the home “magically” disarm itself and unlock the door when it recognizes a trusted neighbor. The Front Door Protection bundle includes the new base station, two door/window sensors, a Yale Assure Lock 2, and a Google Nest Doorbell (battery).
