MELVILLE, N.Y., Aug. 10, 2009 – Honeywell (NYSE:HON) has launched a new
application for the Apple iPhone® that allows home and business owners to stay
connected to their security systems while on the go.
Available on Apple’s iTunes® App Store (SM), the My Keypad App is compatible
with Honeywell security control panels and replicates a physical keypad on the
iPhone and iPod Touch® touchscreens, enabling users to perform tasks such as
remotely arming or disarming their security systems. My Keypad is part of
Honeywell’s popular Total Connect application that allows home and business
owners to command and control their security systems from any location via Web
browser.
“Staying connected makes for greater peace-of-mind for both home and business
owners concerned about their family’s safety and their business security,” said
Gordon Hope, general manager of Honeywell’s AlarmNet® communications network.
“Mobile devices like the iPhone are known for the conveniences they add to our
everyday lives. Applications like My Keypad and Total Connect, though, offer
more than just convenience – they allow you to control an important aspect of
your home and/or business even if you’re not physically there.”
In addition to controlling security systems using My Keypad, Total Connect
customers can be notified of activities happening inside the home or business.
For example, the system can send emails that alert users to specific events such
as when a child disarms the security system upon returning home from school, or
when a gun or liquor cabinet has been opened. When combined with a Total Connect
video system, users can view images from cameras on a PC or their mobile
devices.
Total Connect subscribers can download the My Keypad App free on iTunes. For
more information about Total Connect services, please contact your local
security systems provider or visit
