End-To-End Home Security And Automation From Sage By Hughes
Brian Rhodes
Jun 22, 2016Sage's parent is EchoStar, who is best known for producing television boxes like Slingbox and the Hopper. Sage was originally marketed to be a way for satellite providers like Dish to enter the home security space similar to the way cable providers have, but they've recently started selling direct.
We are writing up a profile of the company and the offering. There are a couple of notable strengths of the offering compared to startups like Scout, Canary, and Korner:
- Backed by a real corporation, not just a fundraising campaign
- Sage touts a Design team with hardware, firmware, and home appliance integration experience
- Monitoring is Optional, so purely DIY consumers avoid mandatory contracts but can as needed
- Sage integrates with TVs, so alarm monitoring/video cam feeds are overlaid on the household's main screen, not just mobile phones and tablets.
More details are coming in our note. I'll update here when we publish.
