Roku Launches Affordable Home Monitoring System [Video]

Roku has announced the launch of a new affordable 'Home Monitoring System SE'. The kit features two entry sensors, a motion sensor, a wire-free keypad, a hub with a built-in siren, and the option to either monitor your home yourself or subscribe to professional 24/7 monitoring.

The Roku Home Monitoring System SE offers guided videos and clear illustrations, so users can set up their system quickly and easily, with no tools required. With Home, Away, and Off modes and customizable monitoring rules through the system keypad or the Roku Smart Home mobile app, users can be in control wherever they are. Users can configure settings to be notified when sensors detect a door is opened or closed, or an alarm goes off, as well as arm or disarm the system from home with the system keypad or on the go from the mobile app.

"Roku's new home monitoring system provides peace of mind, while being easier than ever to set up, control, and monitor," said Mark Robins, Vice President, Roku Smart Home. "We are proud to further extend Roku's Smart Home lineup with affordable, simple ways to secure the safety of any home."




Developed in partnership with Wyze labs, the five-piece Roku Home Monitoring System SE is priced at just $99, and includes:

● Two entry sensors: Get notified on your phone when a door or window is opened, closed, or left open.

● Motion sensor: Get notified – or automatically turn on a light – when motion is detected. Got a dog or cat? Ignore pets with an adjustable setting.


● Hub with built-in siren: Notify the house – and the neighborhood – if an emergency is detected.

● Keypad: Easily arm or disarm your home, change modes, or manually sound your alarm.

The system can be expanded with additional entry sensors, motion sensors, and keypads.



Users have the option to self-monitor their homes for free or subscribe to 24/7 professional monitoring, powered by Noonlight, for $9.99/month or $99.99/year. Subscribers who choose annual billing receive 50% off their first year.

Additional Roku Smart Home products new to the portfolio include an advanced Roku Smart Light Strip+ SE that allows users to show up to 16 different colors at once and a Roku Solar Panel that powers the wire-free Roku Outdoor Camera SE.




Roku Smart Home customers who also use a Roku player or TV powered by the Roku will be able to access the following new features when the latest Roku TV OS rolls out in the coming weeks:

● Monitor your home from your TV – See an on-TV notification and alarm countdown when your Roku Home Monitoring System SE is armed and a sensor is triggered.

● Access your camera event history on your TV – Experience seamless integration between your connected camera and doorbell smart home devices with the Roku Cameras app, which downloads automatically to your Roku player or TV powered by the Roku OS. View live camera footage with ease, and now simply click into "Events" to see previous recordings history filtered by preference.

● Control Roku Smart Home devices with just your voice – Simply speak into your Roku remote or mobile app to control Roku lights or smart plugs, show live camera feeds on your Roku-powered TV screen, and more. Roku Voice integration now allows you to turn Roku lights on or off and change their brightness and color, hands-free or at the click of a button.
