Even after years of development and simplification, existing home automation and security systems are cumbersome to install and use. Most of the current wireless security and automation systems need a hub and accessories in order to connect to the cloud through your home Wi-Fi or a cellular module. Hubs add another point of complexity and failure. Securmate is the only wireless entrance sensor in the market that connects to the cloud directly through Wi-Fi without the need for an intermediate hub or additional accessories.
On account of its architecture, Securmate is:
The Securmate entrance sensor in combination with its smartphone app and cloud service forms a simple and portable do-it-yourself security system. Attach Securmate to any entrance and get alerted on your smartphone when the entrance opens/closes. Securmate works anywhere with Wi-Fi, so no monthly service fees. It's that simple!
Securmate is a pocket size system that is small enough to fit in the hand, so it is easy to carry anywhere.
The sensor is powered by regular AAA batteries which can last more than a year.
Get push notifications to your mobile and emails to your loved ones so they can check on you.
Talks to other products to make it easier for your to automate your life.
No hardware required to install. The sensor can be attached using removable double sided tapes.

If you have Wi-Fi connectivity and have used other Wi-Fi products, you will find installing Securmate a breeze. A one-time setup will program your personal Wi-Fi credentials to the Securmate sensor.
Stick a sensor to the entrance of any property you want to protect.

If there is a security breech ...
You will receive a push notification on any phone with an app installed.
Your friends and family, who don't have the app installed, will receive an email.
At a quick glance, the dashboard shows you the current state of your entrances. An extended menu allows you to manage your devices, search and download your activity logs.
You can also see an activity timeline of all your entrance sensors.
With current security and home automation solutions, you are often given pre-canned solutions that may or may not work for your needs. By connecting Securmate with IFTTT, you can access a wide variety of other products and use cases, so you have a system that fits your lifestyle and needs.
For security, you may want to use a smart light or siren that works with IFTTT, as shown in the main video, to indicate an intrusion.
You can also capture video footage beginning the instant your entrance is breached.
Unlike using the smartphone as a remote control, change in the state of doors and windows can be used to automatically trigger actions.
Securmate allows you to further qualify these triggers based on the time of day. The above applet shows how a Securmate trigger is configured to occur when the owner opens their bedroom door between 6:00 AM and 8:30 AM, upon waking up.
Just as you can automate your morning routine based on triggers from your bedroom door one can also automate actions based on triggers from say your front door when you leave or arrive back from work.
