JCI- Johnson Controls, has formed a new group that consolidated TYCO-IS, formerly part of ADT, and hit the market under its own name, JCI-Johnson Controls. And JCI seems to be consolidating all the old baggage too, including the nasty “false alarm problem”. Note, the new JCI is mostly commercial customers, no focus on residential.
A recent press release announced an A/I (artificial Intelligence) product developed by JCI that could solve (their claim) the massive, destructive, problem. It is a product that is sold to and installed at the consumer end. They are not naïve, not stupid, but why focus the product and sales effort on the remote monitored end-user customer, when we now know UPR- Unnecessary Police Response, starts and stops at the monitoring source, JCI.
Maybe JCI just diverting attention away from serious internal problems, legal and attrition liability, that was inherited? Maybe just CYA and plausible deniability? Maybe to suppress the related PR problem? Maybe as simple as a new market for new “technology control” product? Any thoughts?
