Telguard’s FlexHub enables security dealers to increase recurring monthly revenue by offering home and security automation features through Telguard’s HomeControl Flex app. The addition of smart home devices is fast and simple with FlexHub and Telguard’s HomeControl Flex app makes it easy to enable smart home services for new customers, account takeovers or upgrades for existing customers.

When combined with a Telguard alarm communicator, end-users have access to powerful automation tools that link control of their lifestyle devices with control of their life safety system.

“The popularity of voice control services has grown exponentially over the past few years with homeowners wanting Alexa to do more,” said Shawn Welsh, SVP Marketing and Product Line Management, Telular Corporation. “By integrating the Telguard FlexHub with Amazon’s Alexa, security dealers have more opportunities for increased revenues through up sales and recurring monthly service and support.”
