ADT has unveiled its newly redesigned and renamed smart home security system, the ADT Command Panel & Control Platform (ADT Command – formerly ADT Pulse), as well as a suite of smart security and home automation products at the 2019 Consumer Electronic Show (CES), in the Sands Expo Convention Center, Las Vegas.
The ADT Command tablet is a 7-inch, wireless touchscreen dynamic and innovative wireless panel that serves as the central point of the system.
ADT Command includes numerous smart home capabilities, including seamless set up and control with the ADT Control app, that allows customers to protect and automate their homes from anywhere at any time.

ADT Command Key features include:
Smart Security:
- Know who is arriving home and when, with the 7-inch wireless, touchscreen Command panel that snaps a photo when the system is disarmed using its built-in camera.
- By creating dynamic scenes and rules, your smart home devices work in harmony to keep your family safe.
- For example, in case of a fire, the system can be connected to the thermostat, lights and doors, making it easier and safer for everyone to get outside.
(One recent morning, Shawn Siqueiros and her fiancé Pat McCracken had just left their Tucson home when one of their cats pushed a towel over a lit candle, igniting a small fire. As smoke filled the air, the home’s security system sent a signal to an ADT monitoring center in Irving, Texas. Emergency Dispatcher Shana Allen quickly called 911 and Tucson firefighters rushed to the scene and extinguished the fire which was limited to the bathroom. Shawn and Pat are grateful their cats, Lucy and Ethel, survived and their house wasn’t destroyed. They are anxious to meet all those who helped. Courtesy of ADT and YouTube. Posted on Dec 19, 2018.)
