REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – Icontrol Networks has expanded its smart home ecosystem of certified devices with the addition of the LG smart refrigerator, SkyBell HD Wi-Fi video doorbell and Bttn Wi-Fi smart button.

LG, Skybell and Bttn gained certification through the Icontrol Developer Program, which allows any cloud-based, ZigBee, Wi-Fi or Z-Wave connected device to more easily integrate with Icontrol-powered solutions, according to the company.

  • Goes into energy savings mode when the security system is armed.

SkyBell HD video doorbell:

  • Allows the Icontrol security system to extend its coverage to the front door.
  • Triggers and actions allow users to create rules that start or end with the SkyBell HD.

  • Pushing the button allows users to trigger a pre-defined action or chain of actions. Some common uses include: Push the “good night switch” to lock doors, turn off lights, activate video surveillance and lower temperatures for the night. Press the same button again in the morning to wake up the house.
  • Activate or disable the security alarm mode.
  • Toggle the living room lighting between normal and TV watching modes.
