Comcast Kicks It Up With Xfinity Home!

A lot of unique opportunities come about from being on social media and having a blog. Most recently,  I was invited recently to the Home of Distinction in North Haven, CT to check out Xfinity Home along with other bloggers in my community and learn all about the services Xfinity provides for your home. I am only sorry that they do not provide in the town I live in, cause I would have signed up for it at this event for sure!  Approaching the home you could instantly tell this model home was special. No detail was left unturned to the immense amount of molding, decor, high end appliances, ornate lighting and of course sophisticated technology. 

The best part of this event was learning about the technology that is provided by Xfinity Home and how this system can alter your family life and keep you organized and safe. 

The overview started with the entertainment experience that X1 customers can receive. X1 is an entertainment operating system that gives Xfinity TV customers an interactive TV experience. You can easily find and watch shows and movies in seconds from TV listings, DVR recordings, personal favorites and Xfinity On Demand. They also have TV tailored apps that bring up your Facebook feed or photos up on the big screen. 

Being able to find your favorite program as easily as possible is often just as important as the content itself. Newly launched and what impressed me the most was the Kid Zone programming. Kids Zone gives parents peace of mind with a safe and secure experience for kids to independently explore their favorite content and discover new programming without the worry of coming across something with adult content. The remote also has voice control options. Yes. You speak into it! If your child is in love with Mickey Mouse, simply say "Mickey Mouse" in the remote and instantly everything Mickey will show up. Amazing! What kid would not want control over the TV remote?! Xfinity thought of everything.

We next moved onto learning about Xfinity Home. This is Comcast's home security, control and energy management platform that allows customers to stay connected to their home while on-the-go through the use of an interactive Web portal, mobile devices and the free Xfinity Home app. Imagine being able to set your home alarm from your phone or controlling the temperature of your house from work. Wanna know what the kids are up to? You are able to position the cameras and view different parts of your house with live video monitoring. It is total household management at your finger tips. Xfinity home is 24/7 professional monitoring that can be armed or disarmed remotely. You can also manage energy consumption by controlling lights and the thermostat remotely. I was truly amazed at how far home technology has come!

Lastly we got to learn all about the Xfinity mobile apps. Comast offers its customers eight free down loadable apps so you can get the most popular entertainment and communications services while on the go no matter where you are. These apps get you in touch with the your DVR and allow you to stream Xfinity TV on your mobile devices and download your recordings. In addition, you can control your TV remote controls from your mobile apps. Never forget to set your DVR again! You can also send videos and photos from your mobile devices right to your TV for home viewing and access your email, call logs to your phone and call forwarding options. Think about the vacation you can take with the kids having their favorite shows or music to stream in the car!
