From GeekDad - by Brad Moon
"Like many in the GeekDad community, I have an interest in home automation.

I started dabbling with home automation and remote access in a real way with a Philips Hue installation last year and ramped it up to an entirely new level with ADT’s Pulse system. Now we have automation for key systems, remote access for the door lock, interior lighting and thermostat, notifications for key events and access to live video feeds. And I have to say, it’s pretty sweet." Read More...

"The key to ADT's future is Pulse, its version of home automation. Using its existing sales and distribution channels, ADT is finding success in its Pulse product, even with sharp competition from some big names such as Verizon and Time Warner, which have arguably better distribution channels and a more recognizable imprint in customers' homes.
