Using Your Orange County Security System With Google Nest Or Amazon Alexa

Did you know you can access your Orange County home security system with your voice? Wouldn’t it be great if your Orange County home security system was even easier to control? Well, good news! Using voice commands from your smart speaker with your Orange County security system you can create an amazing upgrade.

Your voice activated assistants like Google or Alexa can link to your wireless system to command your smart lights, lock your locks, and push tripped alarm notifications to your phone and ADT monitoring experts. Then if you’re heading for bed or to leave the house, all you need to do is tell your home “Goodbye,” and watch everything activate into guard mode. That’s a nice advantage when you’re trying to get out of the house quickly and don’t want to mess with the smartphone app.

How can you link Google Nest or Alexa with your Orange County security system:

Switch On The ADT Control Using The Alexa or Google App

To get voice prompts working with 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 devices to perform almost all of the tasks that you can do in your mobile security app. With easy voice commands, you can disarm or arm your system, control your smart bulbs and smart thermostat, or see if you left the garage door open.

Conversely, you can use different skills to control each separate alarm, sensor, and automation item, but that can become a bit unwieldy. One of the perks of linking your Orange County security system to Google Nest or Amazon's Alexa is that all your voice commands are conveniently found in the same place. Luckily, you can personalize your house with alarms, cameras, and automation devices and connect them with Alexa or Google Nest on install.

What Vocal Controls Can You Use When You Pair Your Orange County Security System To Google Nest or Alexa?

Your AI assistant can do more than just turning on your smart bulbs or disarming your alarm system. You might want to check the status of your camera or change any automation component to a preset level. You may also tell Alexa or Google to auto-adjust your devices just like you could in the ADT Control mobile app.

Try out these commands for your Alexa or Google Nest:

  • “Arm my security system.”

  • “Lock the front door.”

  • “Turn off my porch light.”

  • “Did I set the alarms?”

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

  • “How cold is it in here?”

You can also preset a routine within Google or Alexa that links multiple components together. For instance, say “Alexa, I’m going out,” and activate your smart locks, turn on your motion sensors, turn down the air, and turn off every light in the house. Or preset a routine for “bedtime,” and use the command to turn down the smart bulbs and adjust the temperature to the perfect level. The alarms, cameras, and home automation you can link together for a preset scene are only limited by your imagination.

Multiple Mobile Devices

Should You Order All Your Automated Items From A Single Place Or Mix And Match?

Does pairing your Orange County security system to Google Nest or Amazon's Alexa work best if you buy your components from the initial install, or can you pick over time? While you can get non-ADT components -- many devices use z-wave tech -- sometimes it’s easier to have all your security components linked at the initial install.

When you get your devices installed together, you create a powerful, cohesive home security system from the beginning. Then you can design away and make groups, routines, and custom commands, and know each command will work as it should on day one. You could add different security alarms and cameras as you go, but then you may have to troubleshoot to get them to work in sync. However, make sure that any extra components are linked to your ADT system first, and then use voice commands with the ADT voice prompts.
