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, American Standard, 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.

Protect your family with home automation technology.

Step 1: Build your own system

Nexia™ Home Intelligence is fun right from the start. To get going, all you have to do is choose a Nexia Bridge and the components you want to make up your home automation system. Browse compatible products and think about the ways you want to manage your home. Then make your selections from a pool of trusted brands, including Schlage and Trane. Using a Nexia Bridge as your anchor, add a multiple-use appliance module. Use it to plug in lights and many other devices you can then manage remotely. Start there and add on additional products, such as Schlage locks and Trane thermostats,to expand your system or other compatible products.

Live Freely

Maintaining a home can tie you down, whether you’re in town, traveling far from home or managing a vacation/rental property. You’re busy—we get that. You often need to be in two places at once—we get that, too. Nexia is the answer that keeps you connected. It gives you simple remote access to your home systems—locks, lights, thermostats, cameras, small appliances—via the web from your smart phone or computer. So you can take care of your home, visitors and all the details of managing your home, at any moment, from anyplace. With all of its remote control capabilities, Nexia is just like being there:
  • Easily set schedules to activate lights and manage temperatures.
  • Let in friends, workers or new renters from across town or across the country.
  • Scheduling lighting or thermostat scenes like “After work” or “Renters just left” is like putting your home on automatic reset.
  • Receive text or email alerts when the unexpected happens, such as a sudden temperature change..
  • Take care of things you forgot to do: lock a door, switch off a light.
  • Uneasy feeling about your house? Just check Nexia and be sure.

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.

The one thing I liked about it first off was it had the connectivity and the cameras. The visual was a big thing for us. We wanted peace of mind but we didn’t want to go through the hassle of the wired home....police and fire response. We don’t feel like we need all that. We wanted a system that was halfway in between...Nexia really works for us in that regard.

- Blake S., Nexia subscriber for one+ month

For the cost it’s very affordable. It’s a great tool to have...the security of having multiple codes at your deadbolt, the energy efficiency through the thermostat, the web interface, to be able to turn lights on and off at your convenience.

- Samuel, 2 months Nexia customer

The key thing about Nexia is how all these pieces come together, from the energy or security side. At the end of day you can control your house from anywhere in the world, whether through your phone or through the portal. It’s not how you do—it’s that YOU CAN DO IT and that’s the exciting part.

- Ajit J

One of my favorite things about the Nexia solution is when my 10 year old daughter comes home off the school bus and I get a text message because I’m at work, I know she’s entered the home safely. It’s great peace of mind knowing where she is and that she’s safe.
