The platform is designed to continue working when your internet goes out by switching to AT&T’s cellular service.
AT&T is trying again in the smart home space by combining Abode and Google Nest products in a bundle backed by the network’s cellular coverage.
The service is called Connected Life. It’s a home security system which works on your Wi-Fi, but switches to AT&T’s cellular network if your internet goes down. There’s also a battery-powered security hub, which means your system won’t fail in a power cut.
You can buy the equipment for AT&T’s Connected Life package in two different bundles. The first is the Starter Kit at $399 with a Google Nest Doorbell, an interior motion sensor, two door or window sensors, and a security hub. If you prefer you can pay monthly at $11.
