Innovate Security for Life Introduces Direct-to-Builder Wholesale Program for Next-gen Turnkey Smart Home Automation

Innovate Security for Life launches wholesale smart home security and automation platform directly to builders/developers as a simple solution for home technology requirements. Innovate’s new Smarter Communities S.A.V.E (Security – Automation – Video – Expertise) program offers builders the ideal turnkey package for a preloaded home network to enable home  automation — and all in customizable, do-it-yourself (DIY) expandable packages for the buyer.

The Bend company introduces an easy — yet advanced — system for networking and enabling wireless control of residential appliances and devices like lighting control, indoor and outdoor video cameras, security systems, thermostats, windows, door locks, garage door openers, video surveillance and all the myriad new smart home applications the next generation of homebuyer requires.

In addition, Innovate focuses on the growing trend in customizable DIY smart home automation and security which industry experts predict will dominate the more traditional solutions currently available. The team also designed a magnetic mounting system that eliminates wall damage, cuts DIY installation time in half and offers a portable system that homeowners can take with them.

National home security expert — and Bend resident — Graham Hausler has engineered a solution that is easy, intuitive and affordable for homebuilders and homebuyers alike—in any kind of home. A security industry insider, Hausler, who founded and operated Bend-based Atlas Security for 20 years, foresaw a need for a proven DIY security model that would differentiate from old traditional security systems.

The company now offers the Smarter Communities S.A.V.E (Security – Automation – Video – Expertise) platform directly to builders and developers at wholesale pricing.

“Innovate offers builders an easy, streamlined option for installing advanced automation and security in new homes and multifamily units—enabling smart devices that meet code requirements to pass final inspection,” says Hausler. “We have enlisted the support of the top smart home, security and video product manufacturers to provide extremely competitive wholesale pricing which allows builders to offer smart home capabilities for little or no extra cost.”

How does the direct-to-builder program work?

Innovate has established a simple low-cost automation infrastructure for the developer/builder community and provides the end-user with a DIY solution. The system fits a new category in the home automation and security industry focused on multi-unit residences and first-time buyer housing.

Innovate’s Smarter Communities Home Automation and Security Technologies provide customers with all the automated features of a smart home, but with lifestyle flexibility and affordability built into the product design. Innovate provides builders and developers with wholesale smart equipment for building smart infrastructure in new housing or multifamily buildings that might include smart light switches, smart dimmers, smart thermostats, smart video doorbells and smart door locks.

Innovate builders/developers receive a private branded promotional code for the customer offering $100 coupons for renters or $200 for homebuyers to customize their own DIY Smart Home Automation and Security System. Innovate Security for Life (ISFL) systems are different from any other DIY offer:

  • Lower cost by removing technician labor from the price
  • First do-it-yourself security, automation and video
  • One application for security automation and video expertise
  • Engineered for the easiest patented magnetic installation
  • Network locked down and secured
  • Lifetime warranty on intrusion sensors with service
  • Designed to be easily portable when moving
  • Replacement sensor mounts free of charge when moving
  • Encrypted professional-grade equipment
  • Twenty years of experience in security, automation and video expertise

“This is a win-win system. Having installed Innovate’s unique systems in several different residences I can say that it is a huge cost savings over ‘professional’ installation,” says David Hatch, Innovate customer and retired homebuilder. “The installation is super simple — all the devices magnetically mount easily with the metal backing plate which has a special adhesive to the wall or ceiling. Pairing the devices to the monitoring panel is similar to pairing a blue tooth device with your phone.”

Hatch adds that “with the advanced technology controlling home devices, it is quick, easy and amazing, especially when you are literally on the other side of the planet — which I’ve done! Devices are preprogramed into the panel when you order the system, and there are easy to follow instructions, making it plug and play. The monitoring fee is simple and competitive, you can even start simple and add devices later on.”

Innovate now offers a best-in-class security solution featuring:

  • Customized components for the home and office
  • Easy, intuitive installation
  • Comprehensive protection from intrusion
  • Sensors for life-threatening event like smoke and carbon monoxide
  • Monitors for aging parents and relatives

Innovate ‘Security for Life’ partners with E::SPACE Labs to create prototype magnetic mount to ease DIY smart home installation

Local father/son team engineer, patent design in response to demand for DIY smart home solutions, collaborate with E::SPACE Labs to create innovative magnetic installation design

 

Bend, Ore. (November 18, 2020)—The pandemic continues and people are still at home—alone with their thoughts on all of the things to do to make home safer, more livable and secure. Add to that a growing trend toward do-it-yourself (DIY) domestic improvement projects and well, it’s been the inspiration for a new smart home and security technology innovated by local Bend inventor, Graham Hausler.

A National home security expert, Hausler, and his son, Logan, got busy brainstorming not only the next-generation in home and office security technology, but an innovative DIY installation option to make smart home solutions easy, intuitive and affordable for everyone right now. 

The team imagined a magnetic mounting system that eliminates wall damage and cuts DIY installation time in half. While the Hauslers had this creative idea that would ease the way users install home security technology, how would they physically design the mechanics and engineering of the prototype to get to market?

Enter E::SPACE Labs

The father / son team took their product idea to Central Oregon’s electronic design and technology incubator, E::SPACE Labs—born of the need for a regional electronic co-working space for engineers, inventors, product developers, makers and creative minds. Founded by Rick Silver and David Robson in June of 2015, E::SPACE was launched to assist individuals and companies of all sizes in developing technological prototypes, and also to educate those with an interest in electronic and electro-mechanical hardware design. 

With a team of electrical, mechanical and industrial engineers—in addition to four 3-D printers for 3-D modeling, Eagle CAD (a scriptable electronic design automation application), among other devices—the lab offered a convenient solution for hardware design entrepreneurs like the Hauslers to take the first step into a professional engineering environment. 

“E::SPACE has been very helpful filling the gaps in the design engineer process and getting patents turned into products—they bring bright minds together allowing concepts to become reality,” says Hausler.  “I am looking forward to working with E::SPACE on my most recently filed patent focused on streamlining the intersection between security technology convergence and artificial intelligence.”

The team at E::SPACE brought in a senior engineer to come up with details, drawings and manufacturing capabilities and different requirements for the product. A key component of the design was to foresee any challenge a do-it-yourself home installer might face—and perfect the product for the ease of the user. Bam! A patent-pending prototype is born and already on the market at Innovate Security.    

“Graham brought us a very clever solution to ease the pain of DIY installation of smart home and security technology—we think the magnetic mount is a fantastic solution and we jumped at the opportunity to work with the Innovate Security team to create the strongest, most durable device,” said Robson. “Our 3D printing process for the prototype created a big advantage offering immediate feedback where traditional ‘old school’ design prototypes might be actually physically molded which could take weeks. We had a smooth working model in relatively short order.”

Not your father’s home security system

Innovate now offers an affordable home—and office—security and family safety option with the smart technology to enable an online custom system configurator that comes fully-loaded and recognizes all home security zones—right out of the box. Hausler credits his son’s knowledge of physics and technology as instrumental in turning a concept into a best-in-class security solution featuring:

  • Customized components for the home and office
  • Easy, intuitive installation 
  • Comprehensive protection from intrusion 
  • Sensors for life threatening event like smoke and carbon monoxide
  • Monitors for aging parents and relatives
  • Control over environmental catastrophes like fire, floods, freeze
  • Online programming
  • Bluetooth enabled
  • Trusted home security experience
  • Unparalleled service

“The more time we spend at home—whether living in an apartment, townhome, dormitory, suburban home in the country or urban home in the city—we believe more consumers are looking at ways to protect their families and property from intrusion and life-threatening mishaps,” says Hausler. “We want more people to have access to such a flexible, affordable and comprehensive protection device for any living situation—literally a preprogrammed, turnkey, easy-to-install option for anybody.”

What sets Innovate apart from the competition is its panel features with smart security components, touch screen management, video monitoring, hazard detection, and Bluetooth disarming capabilities all updated and managed online by the user. Innovate solutions come fully-encrypted with technology that cannot be hacked or disarmed by intruders eliminating vulnerabilities to data obtrusion.

Local home security expert launches next-gen DIY smart home solution to keep families safe and worry-free in uncertain times

Innovate Security for Life responds to increased demand for peace of mind and a trend in do-it-yourself home improvements with advanced technology and patent-pending magnetic installation design

Bend, Ore. (October 15, 2020)—With the ongoing presence of the coronavirus and mounting uncertainty, families are seeking peace of mind in more ways than one. As families spend more time at home and an aging population remains more isolated, demand for home security and monitoring services has escalated. In addition, with more people at home there is a growing trend toward do-it-yourself (DIY) domestic improvement projects and more uneasiness with in-person high-touch installation professionals.

With those trends in mind, national home security expert—and Bend resident—Graham Hausler got busy engineering not only the next-generation in home and office security technology, but a DIY installation option that makes smart home solutions easy, intuitive and affordable for everyone right now. A security industry insider, Hausler, who founded and operated Bend-based Atlas Security for twenty years, foresaw a need for a proven DIY security model that would differentiate from old traditional security systems. Welcome Innovate Security for Life.

It’s a family affair

Hausler teamed up with his son, Logan, to create a home—and office—security and family safety invention with the smart technology to enable an online custom system configurator that comes fully-loaded and recognizes all home security zones—right out of the box. The father/son team also created a patent-pending magnetic mounting system that eliminates wall damage and cuts DIY installation time in half. Hausler credits his son’s knowledge of physics and technology as instrumental in turning a concept into a best-in-class security solution featuring:

  • Customized components for the home and office
  • Easy, intuitive installation 
  • Comprehensive protection from intrusion 
  • Sensors for life threatening event like smoke and carbon monoxide
  • Monitors for aging parents and relatives
  • Control over environmental catastrophes like fire, floods, freeze
  • Online programming
  • Bluetooth enabled
  • Trusted home security experience
  • Unparalleled service
  • Affordable, flexible comprehensive options

Experts agree on the trends

What also sets Innovate apart from the competition is its panel features with smart security components, touch screen management, panel camera, built in glass break detection, all updated and managed online by the user. Innovate solutions come fully-encrypted with technology that cannot be hacked or disarmed by intruders eliminating vulnerabilities to data obtrusion. 

“The Innovate team is redefining the narrative in the security industry—at a time when most companies are still offering clunky expensive video surveillance and automation equipment, we are grounded in the fundamentals—and smart technology—to ensure life safety first, and all with the ease of a highly-customizable, do-it-yourself solution,” says Hausler. “You cannot put a price on the safety and security of your family—which is why we engineered ‘Security for Life’.” 

Imagine cameras that allow you to answer the door for your food delivery without in-person contact, or remotely check in on elderly relatives with monitors or outfit them with emergency call or panic alerts. All in addition to protecting your home and family with the security components and monitors essential to staying safe.

Customize a security system that works for you

Innovate offers an online ordering process that enables the consumer to customize home security and family safety options that meet their needs and lifestyles. Meet Stanley, Innovate’s life safety and security system designer who will walk you through the process of identifying the right features and functions for your family.

Innovate security services start at only one dollar per day—with most DIY systems starting at well under $1,000.

As a long-time expert in the security industry, Hausler believes that the security industry has done a poor job educating clients on the value of monitoring for life safety first. In an actual fire or carbon monoxide event, monitoring and the dispatch of fire and medical authorities is how lives are saved. Innovate’s mission is to provide all clients with the best life safety protection and life safety monitoring in the industry, protecting the people, pets and possessions our clients truly care about the most.
