introducing Telstra Smart Home™

Telstra Smart Home is about to make your home a whole lot smarter and your life that little bit easier . Available online and in select stores , Telstra Smart Home lets you set your home up so you can feel like you ’ re at home , even when you ’ re not there .
Connecting compatible smart devices like light globes , motion sensors and cameras to Telstra Smart Home means they can talk to each other and work together to make things around the house run a little smoother .
The way you set up your Telstra Smart Home is totally in your control . For example , you could :
Turn lights on and off from your smartphone – not need to move or locate the light switch .
Use smart plugs to turn off appliances that may have been left on and forgotten .
Use motion sensors to alert you to movement , or where a loved one hasn ’ t moved for a period of time .
Use cameras to see who ’ s at the front door , or keep an eye on things while you ’ re not home .
With motion sensors , cameras , lightbulbs , a thermostat , smart power plugs and a smart door lock all talking to each other through the Smart Home platform , it ’ s easy to customise Telstra Smart Home to you and your family ’ s lifestyle . All you need is home broadband , a reliable in-home Wi-Fi set up and an iOS or Android smartphone or tablet to get started .
You can sign up to Telstra Smart Home for just $ 25 per month for 24 months ( minimum cost $ 600 ) which includes access to the service and your choice of one of two Smart Home starter kits :
‘ Watch and Monitor ’ Starter Kit gives you peace of mind by allowing you to keep an eye on things when you ’ re away from home . The kit comes with two door or window motion sensors , and an indoor HD Wi-Fi Camera that can be set up to record video and take photos , or viewed live from the Telstra Smart Home App .
‘ Automation and Energy ’ Starter Kit comes with two smart power plugs , two door or window sensors and a motion sensor , helping you automate lamps or other appliances and control your use of energy .
Both starter kits also include a Telstra Smart Home Hub – which is the heart of your Smart Home , connecting all of your devices to one another .
If you want to make your home even smarter , you can choose from our range of additional certified devices , including lightbulbs , a smart thermostat , the Lockwood smart lock , indoor and outdoor cameras , motion sensors , door and window sensors and smart power plugs .
