Welcome to Smarter Living with Meritage Homes

Imagine walking into your new home and feeling like everything is already in sync with your life. That’s exactly the vision Meritage brings to reality with the M.Connected HomeTM Automation Suite. Designed to blend convenience, security, and comfort, its technology at its best, and is all seamlessly integrated into your daily routine. 

The philosophy is simple: Your home should work for you. Ian Schnack, the National Director of Product Design at Meritage, explains, “The company aims to stay ahead of technology trends to help make homes convenient, safe, and healthy for homeowners.” Whether adjusting the temperature on your thermostat or checking who’s at the front door, M.Connected HomeTM Automation Suite ensures that everything is right at your fingertips. 

Control Made Simple with the First Alert app

No one likes fumbling with multiple apps to manage their home. Schnack explains the idea behind it: “The First Alert app allows homeowners to control all the smart home features from a single destination on phones so that they don’t need to hunt for them.” You can now unlock the door for a guest, close the garage from anywhere, or adjust the thermostat before you even step inside, all in a matter of seconds.
