Comcast Launches New Business Line

Comcast officials say Xfinity Home offers a myriad of features and can help you save as much as 20 percent on your homeowner's insurance.

Comcast has announced the launch of Xfinity Home across the company’s
Pittsburgh service area—which includes Upper St. Clair.

Xfinity Home offers traditional home security components, such as police and fire alarm protection backed by 24/7 professional monitoring, as well as the ability to remotely adjust digital thermostats, turn lights on or off and watch secure live streaming video from wireless cameras while away from home. The service also comes with the Xfinity Home app, which is available free for Apple or Android smartphones.

“Xfinity Home brings digital home monitoring to a new level,”said Mitch Bowling, senior vice president and general manager of new businesses for Comcast Cable. “It comes with a range of broadband-based technologies that empower customers to stay better connected to their home virtually anytime, anywhere.”

Xfinity Home offers consumers the ability to create personalized settings that can do things such as provide real-time e-mail or text alerts when doors open or close or when motion detectors report activity occurring inside or outside of the home.

In addition, the service comes with a tablet-like touch screen with a menu
of widgets that allow access to the latest weather, news, traffic, and sports scores.

Comcast is selling Xfinity Home in three packages starting as low as $29.95 per month. Xfinity Home customers will also be eligible to receive up to a 20 percent discount on their homeowners’ insurance.
