The Nexia home automation system from Ingersoll Rand’s Trane and Schlage brands enables consumers to remotely manage features and functions of their home, including door locks, heating and cooling, video surveillance, lights, shades, and energy usage via any Web-enabled computer and most smartphones. Nexia can “talk” to any number of digitally enabled or sensor-equipped systems in the home, such as a Trane HVAC system with the Trane ComfortLink II Control and Schlage electronic locks. Advanced features include the ability to schedule sensor activity for windows and doors for added security at certain times of the day.
