Phone integration

[xarife]

So I am looking at getting a controller to give me alerts or readings on my phone if I’m not home. Is Apex the only one that does this?

Thanks!

Yes The Apex will give both Txt and Email alerts. I do not know if others do so

Ok, I thought a new one was coming out at MACNA. Wanted to compare before figuring out which Apex units did what. [emoji16]
Thank you!!

As far as I know all Apex units do. I had the classic have the full 2016 model and both do

Profilux 3 & 4 do as well.

Apex user myself and love the alert features. I'm pretty sure the GHL controller has alert capabilities as well. @reefwiser may have a definitive answer to that.

Edit... @Shanet was obviously typing at the same time and answered the GHL question.

Than you, gives me a few more to look at and compare. [emoji1303]

It you were referring to eKoral i think they work from a phone app also. They are still new and I do not have their controller.

GHL gives you txt and email alerts. In fact for the Profilux 3 they even had a separate SMS card.

As some of the professional install's didn't have a internet connection.
Which you rely on when using any type of alert.
