AT&T Links Connected Life to Gemini for Home at $29.99 per Month

AT&T integrates Gemini for the home into its Connected Life offering, reserving these AI features for subscribers of the professional monitoring plan at $29.99 per month. The company claims to be the first to connect a home security system to Google Home Premium, thanks to Google's Home APIs. ADT is also considering adopting these features.

AT&T reserves AI features for the $29.99 pro plan

The AI-powered features are only accessible to subscribers of the Connected Life professional monitoring plan, offered at $29.99 per month. AT&T is also adding an option to automatically arm or disarm the home based on the user's proximity. Connected Life was launched last December in partnership with Google and Abode, and these new features are a continuation of that collaboration.

Descriptions, searches, and summaries generated by Gemini

With Gemini for the home, users can access detailed reports of scenes captured by security cameras, including, for example, who the delivery person is or how many packages have been delivered. Users can also search through saved videos using natural language and access daily summaries of activities occurring both inside and outside the home.

Connection to Google Home Premium and use of Home APIs

AT&T claims that Connected Life is the first home security system to connect to Google Home Premium. The service now utilizes Google's Home APIs powered by Gemini, which allow brands and developers to integrate AI functions into their devices. The integration of Gemini for the home is effective in Connected Life, and ADT has indicated that it may incorporate these same features into its own security systems in the future.
