Total Connect 2.0

Total home security and smart device control from anywhere

Total Connect 2.0 brings your security system and smart home gear together in one clean, unified dashboard, letting you keep an eye on what matters most wherever you are. Designed for Resideo and Honeywell Home systems, it focuses on remote control, real‑time awareness, and simple automation rather than flashy extras.

From the main screen, you can quickly arm or disarm your system, check recent events, and jump straight into cameras, locks, lights, and thermostats. Live and recorded video is crisp, and support for VX Series doorbells and cameras adds intelligent detection zones that can distinguish between people, vehicles, and animals. This dramatically reduces nuisance alerts and makes notifications feel meaningful instead of overwhelming.

Smart scenes are another highlight. You can build routines like “Away” to lock doors, adjust the thermostat, and arm the alarm in one tap, or a “Goodnight” scene that confirms the garage door is closed, turns on outdoor lights, and secures the system. Geofencing arming reminders help prevent the classic “Did I set the alarm?” moment as you leave home.

Security is thoughtfully handled with optional fingerprint or face ID login, plus granular user management so you can add or remove access for family members, employees, or guests.

There are a few drawbacks. You’ll need a compatible system and an active subscription, and performance depends heavily on your network and the cloud service—occasional lag or delayed notifications can happen. The interface, while functional, can feel a bit dense if you’re managing many devices.

Overall, Total Connect 2.0 is a powerful, security‑first control hub that shines for users already invested in Resideo or Honeywell Home hardware and who want reliable remote access and straightforward automation.
