Blue Ridge Security’s TotalControl offers you a variety of services to remotely control your security system from anywhere in the world! Whether you are in the office or away on vacation or business travel, you will have “total control” of your system using your cell phone or mobile device. You can take remote control of your system using either our TotalControl Texting service or our TotalControl App. And now, your security system can do more than just keep you secure. It can lock your doors, turn your lights on and off, and set your thermostat – all by text message or through the App.
Z-Wave Technology
There is now an easy and affordable way to take remote control of the thermostat, door locks, lights and appliances in your home. These wireless devices are controlled through your security system – strengthening security, adding convenience, and even reducing your energy costs. Features that were only available in high-end, high-cost home automation systems are now affordably yours.
Build Your System
There are a variety of devices to choose from, letting you select just the things you want to control. There’s no big up-front expense. Start with a few basic light controllers, then add more devices or a thermostat to build exactly the system you want.
Stronger Security
Program your system to turn on and dim lights, lock and unlock doors, turn appliances on and off, and even adjust your thermostat. So when you go to bed and arm your system, it can also automatically lock the door, turn on selected interior lights, close the garage door, and set the thermostat to a more efficient setting…all with one button-press!
Added Convenience
You can individually control devices via your security system, but a bigger benefit comes when you combine commands to several devices to create your “Favorite” settings. Press one button, and the lights can dim to the desired level and the TV or radio can turn on. “Favorites” let you quickly set the mood you want.
Mobile Control
These devices can be controlled via text with our TotalControl Texting service, or through our TotalControl App on your Apple iPhone and iPad, or your Android smartphone and tablet.
TotalControl Texting
With TotalControl Texting, you can control your security system with your cell phone by sending simple text messages. Each command received by your system is acknowledged back to you via a return text message so you know that your command was received. This service can be used by any text-capable phone…there’s nothing to download or set up. TotalControl Texting gives you the ability to:
- Arm/Disarm: Turn all areas of our security system on or off.
- Sleep: Arm the perimeter and selected interior sensors of your home.
- Home: Arm just the perimeter of your home when you want to stay protected while remaining inside your home.
- Away: Turn all areas of your system on when you leave your house.
- Cancel: Turn off an alarm in the event it was mistakenly triggered.
- Status: Ask the system to reply with its current status, e.g., ARMED, READY, ALARM, and others.
- Control Z-Wave devices: Lights & Appliances, Door Locks, Thermostat
TotalControl App
Our TotalControl App provides all the functions of the security system keypad right on your smartphone or mobile device. The App offers a visually pleasing display that allows you to control your system with just a touch of a button. The TotalControl App, like most Apps, is downloaded and configured in a matter of seconds. The attractive interface provides fast, easy access to the most-commonly used system functions.
- At a glance, check system status including programmed areas.
- Arm or disarm your system in an instant.
- Select from the Home/Sleep/Away arming options.
- Selectively arm and disarm areas by name.

Video Capability
Unlike our texting service, the App gives you the ability to remotely access interior and exterior wireless IP video cameras. You can view up to six cameras 24-7, watch live streaming video, record video clips, and get real-time alerts via email. Video capability through our TotalControl App gives you the ability to look in on your premises via your smartphone or tablet on Apple and Android devices. Add the protection and peace of mind that comes from being able to see and record activity in your home.
