Linus tech tips coverage of CTIA 2014 is brought to you by AT&T alright guys welcome to the AT&T booth or we are currently checking out 18 t digital life the idea behind digital life is home automation and home security so essentially you're you should be able to alarm your house remotely away from home let's say you leave home you can alarm your house from the car make sure all the lights are turned off and all the doors are locked then you come home the home should know that you just arrived in your connected car it should disarm the house unlock all the doors open the garage door for you maybe start playing some music turn the lights on start coffee depending on what time it is that you come home all those kind of small mundane tasks that you realistically shouldn't have to do yourself in the connected future another kind of cool example that I personally appreciate is the master bedroom private time mode where if you close the door on the master bedroom this is of course programmed by yourself in their app if you close it on the master bedroom it will then automatically lock that door will automatically alarm the house maybe turn the lights off in the house start playing some nice smooth sensual jazz music and maybe dim the lights above the bed so you can have some cool little adult time with your significant other other things that it can do is say a sense of water leak under your sink so if you and your significant other are away at work and maybe the kids are at school or something like that and there's a leak under your tap it can detect that and turn the top off with a valve cool functionality and they have everything ranging from touch sensors to camera motion sensors and everything like that available in their app so you can set up run programs so you can say run that master bedroom program I was just talking about remotely from anywhere or just automatically through the rim and you can kind of monitor different rooms so if you have a camera that watches say the patio you could set up the patio as a room and you could have different you could see all the different sensors that are in the patio the camera that's on the patio all of that in a customizable dashboard within their app very cool functionality to talk about how the connected home and the connected car can work together I had an awesome conversation with Ralph de la Vega if you think about it today you leave your home you have a voicemail system in the home and I voice command in the home you have a different one in the car you have a different one you get to work with AT&T Drive we're trying to put all those things together so have the same voice command set in the car and in the office to make it easier for everyone to interact with their homes with their cars and everything in between alright guys thanks for watching a video on 18t digital life if you want to see all the rest of the videos from here at CTIA be sure to subscribe to Linus tech tips and thank you to AT&T for sending us here this year
