The House Of The Future Is Now Available In Barnstable And Hyannis

It’s easy to forget to lock your doors when you head to the beach, and it is uncomfortable when you arrive home on a hot summer day to discover that your air condition is off.

Thanks to AT&T’s Digital Life, those are now worries of the past. The "House of the Future is now available in Barnstable and Hyannis, and the new service allows homeowners  — to experience their own "future” home, and monitor their homes remotely 24/7.

AT&T launched Digital Life on Cape Cod to help customers easily manage their homes anytime and anywhere, from their smartphones, tablets or computers. It's perfect for residents who want to keep an eye on things while they are outdoors enjoying the sunshine – or away from their summer homes. 

With Digital Life, features allow you to:

  • Monitor indoor and outdoor cameras so you can keep an eye on your doors and garage – or what the kids (or your pets!) are doing when you're not home. We’ve also just launched a way to open your garage door!
  • Open doors remotely for your babysitter, a trusted delivery service – or a loved one that forgot his keys
  • Remotely turn on your lights, coffee maker, heat or air conditioning. Switch your AC on before you get home so you arrive to a cool house!
  • Get alerted by text, email or phone of any water leaks – and automatically turn off you're water main if there's a leak
  • Get broken glass alerts in the case of a break-in
