PETALUMA, CALIFORNIA, January 10, 2018 – Furthering its commitment to provide smart home and security integrators with the most complete platform for home control, Nortek Security & Control (NSC) today announced the integration of the ELAN Entertainment and Control Platform with the 2GIG® GC3, the industry’s first Z-Wave Plus Certified Security panel. The GC3 panel can now be controlled natively from within the intuitive ELAN user interface, enabling seamless security control within the connected home experience. This marks the first full integration between wireless security leader 2GIG and a home control and automation platform.
“The ELAN and 2GIG software and engineering teams worked closely to make a truly seamless security integration possible for custom installers,” NSC Executive VP of Marketing and Innovation Joe Roberts said today. “In doing so, we have transformed how homeowners can use, access and control their security systems.”
ELAN’s Auto Zone Detection simplifies installation; once the panel has been configured, all zones and zone names will be automatically added to the system. Through the “Arm–Disarm” feature, the viewer interface shows current panel security status and provides controls to arm and disarm the GC3 system, while “Auto Arm” enables arming the panel without entering a PIN code. “Event Based Arming” automates the arming as a system command – such as “away mode” or “good night mode” using the ELAN Event Mapper. The “History View” provides access to the GC3 history page to view zone fault and system status history, “Zone Status” enables viewing the main security page displays of all currently faulted zones, while the “Zone Bypass” feature allows installers to automatically bypass all faulted zones when arming from ELAN.
“This is a key step in expanding opportunities by bringing our security and control platforms together,” Roberts added. “It’s part of our growing portfolio of connected smart home solutions that are easy-to-install for integrators and extremely intuitive for homeowners.”
