Roku announced an expansion to Roku’s Smart Home lineup to include home monitoring devices, adding to the existing suite of security cameras, video doorbells, lighting, plugs, and more.
The new Roku Home Monitoring System SE includes two entry sensors, motion sensor, wire-free keypad and a hub with a built-in siren – with the option to either monitor your home yourself or subscribe to professional 24/7 monitoring. The products will be available online at Roku.com and exclusively in Walmart stores and on Walmart.com starting May 15.
“Roku’s new home monitoring system provides peace of mind, while being easier than ever to set up, control, and monitor,” said Mark Robins, Vice President, Roku Smart Home. “We are proud to further extend Roku’s Smart Home lineup with affordable, simple ways to secure the safety of any home.”
The Roku Home Monitoring System SE offers guided videos and clear illustrations, so users can set up their system quickly and easily, with no tools required.
With Home, Away and Off modes and customizable monitoring rules through the system keypad or the Roku Smart Home mobile app, users can be in control wherever they are. Users can configure settings to be notified when sensors detect a door is opened or closed, or an alarm goes off, as well as arm or disarm the system from home with the system keypad or on the go from the mobile app.
The system is easily expandable with additional entry sensors, motion sensors, and keypads.
Users have the option to self-monitor their homes for free or subscribe to affordable 24/7 professional monitoring, powered by Noonlight, a leader in smart professional monitoring.
Roku Smart Home Professional Monitoring offers immediate response from live U.S.-based agents when an alarm is triggered, and subscribers can request emergency assistance with one tap in the Roku Smart Home mobile app or on the keypad.
Additional Roku Smart Home products new to the portfolio include an advanced Roku Smart Light Strip+ SE that allows users to show up to 16 different colors at once and a Roku Solar Panel that powers the wire-free Roku Outdoor Camera SE.
Enhanced Roku OS integration
Roku Smart Home customers who also use a Roku player or TV powered by the Roku operating system will be able to access the following new features as the latest Roku TV OS rolls out automatically in the coming weeks:
