Nortek Security & Control Announces DIY Oriented Smart Lighting Products

Nortek Security & Control LLC, a Nortek, Inc. company and a leader in the security and home control markets, today announced a full line of GoControl® branded DIY oriented smart home products for both retail and installer channels.

Based on proven technologies and standard protocols like Z-Wave® and Wi-Fi, several of the products were successfully test marketed in 2014 and the full family of smart products will be available under the GoControl brand and other brands beginning Q1 2015. The GoControl line will focus on high consumer interest smart home categories, and include solutions for connected lighting control, climate control, home security sensors, remote garage door management, and more.

“Our new GoControl line is a unique portfolio of ‘do it yourself’ oriented, broadly compatible branded and white labeled smart products that are easy enough for the retail market and sophisticated enough for the professional installer centered channels,” said Rob Halligan, vice president of marketing, Nortek Security & Control. “Our agnostic approach to platforms and protocols bridges the walls of smart home compatibility, enabling GoControl products to work with our own best-selling control platform 2GIG, those of our partners, and with many of the most popular control platforms in the market today.”

Halligan continued, “By having such an open and ubiquitous approach, the GoControl family of smart products is ideally suited for the growing retail market where such intelligent home products are integrated into existing systems over time, as well as the professionally installed security channel where a system-based approach is taken. In both cases, the ease of GoControl smart products is a strong advantage affording quick onboarding and intuitive control with low, post-sale support requirements.”

The Nortek Security & Control teams are experts in the technology and architecture that connects products for smart control. The choice of many of the top providers of security and control systems, the company is the top provider of Z-Wave® compatible devices to the industry, according to the Z-Wave alliance. In addition, its 2GIG® home control system is the number one largest installed home control platform, according to Park Associates as of December 2014.
