Although our core business is electronic security and communications, today it’s about a lot more than just …. Security. It’s the era of the “connected” building and “connectivity”. I recently wrote an article for Canadian Property Management on the latest connected building developments. You can click here to view the pdf.
What trends are you noticing in your area?

I service the Institutional, commercial and Industrial sector small family run corporations 100 or less employees with 1-6 sites and Total connect has been a great seller to this group so they can keep an eye on there multiple plant and warehouse sites
with comings and goings on , plus there homes. Plus being able to notify personnel when needed to handle problems .
The big thing now is lighting and energy control for all sites as well to keep costs down. as well as installation of energy efficient equipment . plus IP phone services to keep down toll calls between plants as well.
Nick, thank you for the feedback.
Chris, great article!
Ever plan on something similar that geared towards the residential market?
Hi Paul,
Honeywell’s Total Connect remote services, coupled with ZWave devices installed in the home, can perform many similar, and convenient, functions. And Honeywell will continue to add products and services to serve the growing “Connected Home” and “Connected Building” markets.
