Alarm.com sounds like a website whose sole purpose is starting your day with a broken laptop. Turns out it's a home automation service. The site can manage your security alarm systems, locks, lights, thermostats, and garage doors. Using "scenes," it can manage multiples at once with a single button press. With the latest update, this functionality has come to the Android app. Screenshot_20160513-004202 Screenshot_20160513-004425

Example scenes include turning off the lights and closing the garage door when you leave the house. Another could be lowering the thermostat and activating the security system when you go to sleep at night. Then, when you wake up, you can turn on the lights in your home by tapping a button on your phone. Each of these can save you several finger taps as you select numerous tasks and checkboxes.

The default scenes consist of Home, Away, Sleep, and Wake Up. You can edit these scenes or add more of your own. Each one can have its own color and logo.

The update is live now, and a changelog is available on the Play Store page. Alarm.com users who aren't using the mobile app can grab it from the link below.
