Get More Done with Alarm.com's Scenes

To make the most of life's important moments, we need to get the other stuff done.

It's as true for small events as it is for the grandest, most carefully planned family vacation.

Take the humble movie night, for example: an everyday occasion that nonetheless requires a flurry of multitasking in advance. Once the kids are tucked into bed, you'll need to check that the front and back doors are locked. The shades need to be down. Your downstairs lights need to be off, the thermostat needs to go down a couple of degrees, and you should also turn the alarm on for the night now that everyone's settled.

If only there was a magic button for this sort of thing.


Scenes make complicated tasks simple.

Your Alarm.com app comes with four Scene buttons. Each one is a multi-device command that coordinates different smart devices to accomplish a complex task.

To secure your house when you leave, just tap the ‘Away' Scene. Your smart security system will arm itself, your front door will lock, your garage will close and your thermostat will set back to save energy.

Ready for bed? Tap the ‘Sleep' Scene. Your home will secure itself with "Arm Stay" status, and your thermostat will dial down or switch to the bedroom temperature sensor for a comfortable night.


Live safe. Live well.

Experience total protection with customized, professionally installed security and a home that works intuitively to keep you safe.
