 The Alarm.com Compatible DSCI-Otega The DSCI-Otega is the first and least expensive all-in-one system to work directly with industry best, military grade, two-way encrypted PowerG devices. iOtega with PowerG offers end-users battery life up to eight years, the best wireless range at 2,500 feet without a repeater, and 5,000 feet with a repeater. Click the show more tab to learn more about why the PowerG devices are industry best. Look for the onboard keypad that will allow for direct arming or disarming of the security system. Built directly into the iOtega is a 24-hour backup battery that will power the onboard cellular communicator in the event the main power is cut. End-users can split their on-site locations into two separate partitions by using a secondary touchscreen or an inexpensive secondary keypad. Once this has been accomplished, end-users will also be able to remotely control both partitions using the Alarm.com app. In the event a customer needs to insert a new Alarm.com cellular module, iOtega will allow for interchangeable cellular communicators. iOtega offers customers the one-go-all-go features for smoke and heat devices since it uses PowerG technology. iOtega can also be set up to use Z-Wave Plus devices. Include these devices into scenes so that at the touch of one button in the app or verbal control using Amazon Alexa, end-users can automatically run scenes that can arm or disarm, toggle lights on or off, set thermostat temperature, and lock or unlock a door simultaneously. DSC has worked very hard to allow for several key integrations such as, Google Nest thermostats, Rachio sprinkler controllers, select Lutron lights, Liftmaster garage doors, Apple Home Kit, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home Voice controllers. The only downsides we could find about the Alarm.com compatible iOtega systems were, this system has to be connected to Wi-Fi during the initial setup, end-users can't program the system locally, everything must be programmed remotely by the dealer, no August door lock integration, there's only a Verizon LTE cellular option, no AT&T card at this time, end-users can't use existing hardwired sensors as there's no module to do so, no compatible Alarm.com image sensor, you can't bypass sensors remotely with the Alarm.com app. Please comment below if you have any questions we are here to help.
