I'm on the floor at CES taking a look at the very first stand-alone smart home device from LG we've seen them used thinkyou technology on their large appliances but this guy stands on its own it has a built-in Wi-Fi connected camera it has environmental sensors and it can act as a smart home hump better yet you can have a TT monitor what's coming in here on a month-to-month fee without any contracts so the camera is a 5 megapixel camera it has digital zoom 1080p and supposedly it's gonna know the normal activity of you and your family and it's gonna send you an alert if something's unusual I'm not exactly sure how that's gonna work and I'm curious to find out but it has a number of other security features as well like I said environmental sensors it knows your preferred temperature and humidity range it's gonna send you a push alert if it falls outside of that and then again Smart Home Hub that might not sound glamorous but because this thing talks Bluetooth and ZigBee and z-wave all of those smart home peripherals that you might want communicating with the cloud can use this as a bridge to do that that's pretty cool LG developed this in partnership with ADT and it works with ATT's new canopy smart home system that's a month-to-month contract free system you can add your own smart home devices to it and ATT will monitor them for you so I'm glad to see LG getting into the DIY security game and better yet bringing ATT with them so you can have that Pro monitoring with your own DIY system and if this thing can do smart detection as well and actually know your family's movement patterns and tell you if something's out of the ordinary that could be really cool with the LG smart security system at CES I'm Andrew Gebhardt for safe
