Smart Home Firm, Nexia, Adds Geo-Fencing for Greater Automation
Smartphone GPS tells Nexia when user is home or away to trigger automatic operations
BROOMFIELD, Colo. — Smart home firm, Nexia™, a brand of Ingersoll Rand, announced it has enhanced the convenience of its smart home system by adding geo-fencing. The feature gives subscribers easier, more seamless control, such as automatically adjusting the thermostat when they leave for work and when they head home.
Nexia’s free geo-fencing feature uses a subscriber’s mobile phone location service to determine when predetermined boundaries are crossed and then trigger Nexia Automations. Nexia geo-fencing works with all major smartphone platforms to perform sophisticated tasks such as activating select automations only when all users are away from or are at home.
