AT&T is launching Connected Life, a new smart home security offering built around Google Home that keeps working during power or internet outages. Connected Life can be self-installed and features smart home cameras from Google Nest and security hardware from Abode, as well as professional monitoring.
This follows Google launching APIs for its smart home platform last year, which are also used by ADT’s newest security system, ADT Plus. The Connected Life service is AT&T’s latest attempt to step into the world of home security after shutting down Digital Life in 2022, a 3G-based home automation and security service that launched in 2013. Connected Life requires a subscription and AT&T wireless or internet service. Plans start at $10.99 per month for 30 days of video history, smart alerts that notify you about “familiar faces, people, pets, packages, and more,” and AT&T cellular backup to keep the system online during outages. A “professional plan” for $21.99 per month includes those aforementioned features, plus 24/7 monitoring from Abode. There are two device packages available. The $399 starter kit includes a Google Nest Doorbell, an Abode security hub , an interior motion sensor, and two door/window sensors. An advanced kit includes additional Abode sensors, a fob, and a wall-mounted keypad, plus a battery-powered Google Nest camera for $699. There’s also the option to pay monthly for the hardware.
