Your internet connection does more than just connect you to the web. It runs the television in the living room, the laptop at the kitchen table, the phones in everyone's pockets, and a growing list of smart devices around the house. Making CommandIQ and SmartHomeIQ part of your daily internet routine helps you get more control, convenience, security awareness, and value from the technology in your home.
Why a daily check-in matters
Your connected home is part of daily life, so it makes sense to treat it like anything else you look after every day. Knowing what is connected to your network, and being able to manage it, helps you keep your home connected and better understand your internet usage. A quick look takes less time than checking the weather, and it means a slow connection or an unfamiliar device is something you notice today instead of weeks from now.
CommandIQ: your home network, right at your fingertips
CommandIQ gives you convenient access to your home network right from your smartphone. With it you can:
- See which devices are connected — Phones, tablets, game consoles, TVs, and everything else on your Wi-Fi, in one list.
- Run a speed test when you need it — Check your internet speed any time something feels slow.
- Manage your Wi-Fi settings — Make changes to your network from the app.
- Set up a guest network — Give visitors internet access without handing out your main Wi-Fi password.
- Use available parental controls and device-management tools — Decide how and when the devices in your home get online.
The app can also help you identify unfamiliar connected devices. If something shows up in the list that you do not recognize, you will know about it and can take a closer look.
SmartHomeIQ: make your connected home easier to manage
SmartHomeIQ helps you interact with and manage supported smart-home features from your mobile device. As more households add smart devices, having a convenient way to manage and interact with them can make everyday life easier.
- Keep your smart-home experience organized — Convenient access to supported smart-home features in one place.
- Stay engaged with your connected-home features — Keep up with your smart-home technology instead of setting it up once and forgetting it.
- Make checking in on your home part of your daily routine — Your home is a tap away wherever your phone is.
- Get more value from the technology that helps your home run — The more you use it, the more it does for you.
Make it a daily habit
- Open your apps. Pick a time that already exists in your day, like your morning coffee or the last few minutes before bed.
- Check in on your connected home. Glance at the devices on your network and your smart-home features.
- Take control when you need to. Run a speed test, turn on guest access before company arrives, or adjust parental controls as your family's needs change.
Features and availability may vary by equipment and services.
