Telldus
Read full descriptionHide full description
You can't be everywhere at once. Telldus can. Mold in the crawlspace. The fridge that quit mid-vacation. The kids getting home from school. The coffee maker you swear you turned off. With Telldus you know, wherever you are. THE THINGS YOU STOP WORRYING ABOUT - The cottage in November - temperature, damp, frozen pipes. A heads-up before it's a problem, not after. - The window you're not sure you closed. Open the app. Look. Done. - The kids walking in the door. A quiet notification. No phone call needed. - The vacation house in July. Check the fridge is still running from 600 km away. - The power bill you didn't see coming. Catch the space heater that's been on for four days. - The Friday drive up. Start the radiator three hours before you arrive, so it's warm when you walk in. HOME, HANDLED Lights on when you pull into the driveway. Heat that ramps up before you wake. A schedule that actually runs. Your home, running quietly in the background, so you don't have to. ONE APP. EVERYTHING YOU ALREADY OWN. Lights, plugs, sensors - from the brands you already bought. Organized by room. Shared with your family. Controlled from one place. No second app. No third hub. No workaround. NO LOCK-INS. NO BAD SURPRISES. Your home, on your terms. Cancel Premium whenever. MOVING FROM TELLDUS LIVE! OR THE HUB 1 APP?
