Using Your Tempe Security System With Google Nest Or Amazon Alexa

Did you know you can control your Tempe home security system with your voice-controlled smart speakers? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if your Tempe security system was more intuitive? Well, good news! Using voice commands from your smart speaker with your Tempe security system you can create an intuitive improvement.

How can you pair Google Nest or Amazon's Alexa with your Tempe security system:

Turn On The ADT Control Using The Alexa or Google App

To make your AI assistant understand the voice commands for your security and automation system, you’ll have to activate the ADT skill in the Alexa or Google Nest app. Then you can ask your AI assistant to perform almost all of the commands that you can manage in your ADT Control app. With natural voice commands, you can arm or disarm your system, adjust your smart lights and smart thermostat, or see if you left the garage door open.

Conversely, you can use different Alexa or Google skills to work with each separate alarm, sensor, and automation device, but that can seem like a mess. One of the perks of pairing your Tempe security system to Google Nest or Alexa is that all your voice commands are conveniently found in the same place. Luckily, you can customize your house with alarms, automation, and security cameras that will work together with voice commands.

What Vocal Instructions Can You Say When You Link Your Tempe Security System To Google Nest or Amazon's Alexa?

Alexa and Google can do more things than just flipping on your smart lights or disarming your motion sensors. You can also find out the status of your smart devices or calibrate any automation component to a preset level. You might also command Alexa or Google to schedule your devices just like you could in the ADT Control mobile app.

Try out these phrases for your Alexa or Google Nest:

• “Arm my alarms.”

• “Lock the back door.”

• “Turn off my bedroom light.”

• “Did I close the garage door?”

• “Record a clip from my front door camera.”

• “How cold is it in here?”

You can also preset a routine within Alexa or Google that combines different components together. For instance, say “Hey, Google, I’m going out,” and lock your smart locks, turn on your window and door sensors, lower the thermostat, and flip off your living room lights. Or preset a routine for “tv time,” and use the phrase to lower the lighting and put the temperature to the perfect level. The devices you can link together in a personalized scene are seemingly endless.

Should You Get All Your Automated Components From The Same Manufacturer Or Mix And Match?

Does pairing your Tempe security system to Google Nest or Amazon's Alexa work best if you get your alarms and cameras from the initial install, or can you mix and match? While you can get non-ADT components -- many devices use z-wave tech -- sometimes it’s simpler to get all your devices configured at the initial install.

When you have your devices activated at the initial install, you instantly create one cohesive system from the start. Then you can pre-set away and devise routines and groups, and know everything will work as it should from the outset. You could get different security components as you go, but then you may have a greater chance they won’t work together. However, make sure that any extra devices are linked to your home security system first, and then use voice commands through the ADT skill.
