Building upon that technology, we created the simplest way to use it—through the web devices you already rely on every day. You’re just a step away from being connected with Nexia.

The Nexia Ecosystem

Nexia™ Home Intelligence is a new approach to home automation. It takes a 180-degree turn away from complicated wired systems that are difficult to install and require a huge investment.

Nexia–a system you can build on

Nexia™ Home Intelligence really spotlights the "smart" part of smart home technology. Because let's face it—what’s smart about a system that costs thousands of dollars, or one you're stuck with when technology changes? Nexia is the home automation choice you can live with—for a long time. That's because we built it on a wireless technology known as Z-Wave—a technology that has become a standard in home automation, and for which a network of products has been built so you can continually add to your Nexia system as new products join the Z-Wave family. Nexia wirelessly communicates with every Z-Wave device you choose for your home, and translates it into simple control you can manage via the Internet, from wherever, whenever.

Z-Wave has quickly become the standard technology from home automation manufacturers. We felt that was a smart reason to build Nexia around it. And a good reason why you can trust growing with it down the road. Because it will be here.

Products that work together

The Nexia™ Home Intelligence system is open, letting you affordably manage your home your way now, with just the Z-Wave components you want. And expand on it later, anytime you want—and as often as you want—by adding more Z-Wave components as your needs grow. Gradually build your system with cameras, locks, lighting and small appliance controls, thermostats and sensors, without adding installation or service costs. Choose from a pool of over 200 devices from trusted names like Schlage, Trane, Everspring, Hawking Technology, Advanced Control Technologies and many others. More Z-Wave products are being added all the time. So as time goes by, your Nexia system just grows better and better.

What's New

As your life gets busier and your needs grow, we’re already thinking up new ways to expand what Nexia™ Home Intelligence can do to help you manage your home. Check here for brand new product additions, technology features and enhancements to increase the number of practical ways you can use Nexia home automation.

New! Nexia Video Storage

We have come out with a new video storage feature for Nexia, which gives you the ability to record and archive video footage using your Schlage Home Indoor Camera. The new feature also draws on other components of your Nexia system to give you unique ways to tap the system’s capabilities for even more uses.

With the enhanced features, you’ll be able to do much more with your camera beyond live monitoring. We wanted to give customers a way to more closely supervise what is happening in their home by extending the use of their cameras in conjunction with video recording.

New capabilities let you:

Begin instantly recording videos while viewing them from your computer. You may be monitoring your home live when an event happens that you want to preserve, e.g. involving children, pets, babysitter—get the proof you need and don’t miss a thing. Now you can start and stop recording instantly with a simple touch or click.

View recorded videos. Nexia saves and stores your videos to a library where you can later access them to view.

Write-protect recorded videos to avoid automatic deletion. This is a handy feature you will be glad is there doing its behind-the-scenes work of making sure you don’t accidentally erase or record over valuable video.

Take advantage of video recording capabilities by adding a Schlage Home Camera to your Nexia system Schlage Home Camera

Frequently Asked Questions

If you don’t see what you’re looking for, check out the full list of Nexia™ Home intelligence FAQs in the Support Center

What is required to get started with Nexia?

Getting started with Nexia is simple. You need only three things to start: 1) Any Nexia compatible product (e.g. a Light Module or Home Keypad Lock), 2) A Nexia Bridge to allow your system products to communicate with each other and the Internet, and 3) A Nexia subscription (required for managing your home from the web).

How much does the service cost?

A Nexia subscription is just $8.99 per month, which includes 24/7 internet access to your Nexia™ Home Intelligence system. Your Nexia subscription is accessible through your Nexia account via most web-connected computers, tablets and smart phones.

How does the Nexia™ Home Intelligence system work?

Nexia works through Z-wave technology. Z-Wave devices communicate wirelessly with each other and with the Nexia Bridge. The Bridge plugs into your router to connect to your Broadband Internet. Use the Nexia mobile app or your online Nexia subscription to control various Nexia (Z-Wave-based) devices in your home.

What is Z-Wave?

Z-Wave is a next-generation wireless ecosystem that lets all your home electronics and other home hardware talk to each other. It uses simple, reliable, low-power radio waves that easily travel through walls, floors and cabinets. Z-Wave control can be added to almost any electronic device in your house, even devices that you wouldn't ordinarily think of as "intelligent," such as locks, appliances, window shades, thermostats and home lighting. The Nexia system uses Z-Wave technology.

What other products are compatible with Nexia?

There are currently 232 devices that are compatible with Nexia™ Home Intelligence. More are being added all the time. Check our compatibility page for a full up-to-date listing.

What if I want to cancel?

Since there are no contracts, you can cancel any time you like. Check out our Remote Monitoring Service Plan for more subscription details.

Safety and Security

Security is a lot more than strong locks. It’s also reassurance when you forget, reminders when you need them, and knowing the state of your home and family. Nexia puts you in control by letting you manage and communicate with your home and its security features—locks, lights, sensors and more. You shape the what, how and where of how your Nexia system works with an array of compatible products you can choose from and add to over time. Here are just some of the ways you can use Nexia to manage security at any home or rental property you own:

Unlock a door for a guest when you’re at the office or running an errand.
Assign housekeepers or babysitters scheduled lock codes for one-time or limited recurring access.
Set Nexia to send you alerts when situations at home need your attention.
Use wireless cameras to see for yourself what’s going on when you’re away.
Trigger the lights to turn on when a door is unlocked so you never have to walk into a dark home.

It all starts with the Nexia Security Bundle.

A security solution

If you have a busy household with a lot of comings and goings, this bundle can help you keep security tight and stay connected.

Benefits

A Nexia Security Bundle uses locks, lighting and cameras to create multiple layers of protection that you manage from your smart phone or computer. Here are some of the ways you can monitor activities and control security with your Nexia system. Grant instant access to your home. Be the gatekeeper with assigned security codes. Turn on lights to make your home look occupied. Receive text alerts when your kids arrive home safe, or anyone comes and goes. Even watch and capture video from your home camera. Nexia is your partner helping you protect your home and family.

An efficient solution

Going green and reducing our impact on the planet is on everyone’s minds. Did you know we have a system to help you save while you’re away, and be comfortable when you’re home, too? The Nexia Energy Efficiency Bundle is an easy and even fun way to control your environment and reduce home energy costs. Manage thermostats, lights and small appliances, and help do your part.

Benefits

Think of the ways you could increase your energy savings with Nexia. With a Trane™ Home Energy Thermostat, it’s fun to track runtime history and find ways to be more efficient. Add more thermostats to your Nexia system to set separate “comfort zones” on different floors in your home for better efficiency with multiple systems. Control heating and cooling when you’re away to meet changing temperatures—and program your environment to greet you at a comfortable setting upon arriving home. Schedule lights to turn on only when you need them. Turn off small plug-in appliances like fans and coffee makers after you leave to conserve energy and make a positive impact.

Step 2: “Install” your devices

Getting Nexia up and running is so easy, “installation” may be too big a word. In fact, most of the devices simply plug in or require only a few turns of a screwdriver. Once your products are in place, set-up takes just a few minutes. Enroll each Z-Wave device on your Nexia Bridge with the push of a few buttons. Learn more about the setup and installation process here. It’s that easy! But if you still want a hand, professional installation and help setting up your Nexia system are also available through InstallerNet, our official service partner.
