Smanos Bring Home Security App to Apple Watch

Dutch smart home firm, Smanos, is aiming to bring a killer feature to the Apple Watch: Security.

The company is introducing three apps for the Apple Watch called L020, W100 and W020. Each of these apps integrate with the company’s home security solutions for the door/window entry, flood detection and home or office motion sensing.

Once installed, wearers can use the Apple Watch apps to arm or disarm their systems and receive activity alerts in the event unauthorized activity occurs. The the system uses a home hub to connect as well as as Wi-Fi or a landline phone and ethernet. Prices range from $129 to $199, and there’s no monthly fee for the security they provide.

In a press release, Brian Stark, general manager of Smanos says: “The immediacy and convenience Apple Watch apps provide to consumers can’t be overlooked when it comes to home security. With the new app, Smanos users can stay even more connected to what’s going on at their homes.”

We’re just weeks a way from WWDC where we’re expecting that Apple will unveil more features that will help the makers of 3rd party products flourish even more. What Smanos is doing today is great and we see this as being the early beginnings of the Apple Watch and security playing a more important role in our lives.
