The Alarm.com smart home service received support for the Google Home connected speaker, allowing users to manage Internet of Things (IoT) devices around their households with voice commands. The functionality is powered by the Google Assistant and was added to the IoT management platform through a server-side switch earlier this week. The creators of the popular home control solution developed support for the Google Home as a third-party action for the Google Assistant and have said that their new software provides consumers with the ability to issue voice commands to their security systems, thermostats, lights, and other platforms that are already a part of the Alarm.com ecosystem.
Those who prefer a more traditional control method can download the Alarm.com Android app from the Google Play Store free of charge by following the link beneath this writing. While the app isn't available worldwide, it's compatible with most currently supported versions of Google's omnipresent operating system, so you should be able to install it on your device as long as you're located in North America.
