Get More Out of Your Smart Home with Zuluhood: A Step-by-Step Guide
THIS GUIDE WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO UNLOCK THE FULL POTENTIAL OF YOUR EXISTING SMART HOME SYSTEM BY CONNECTING IT TO ZULUHOOD.
Step 1: Connect Your Device To Your Neighborhood Watch
Zuluhood goes beyond traditional apps by creating a focused neighborhood watch system. When your connected smart home devices detect activity, Zuluhood instantly notifies two key groups:
Your Tribe (Household Members): Ensure everyone in your home is aware of any potential security concerns.
Your Watchers (Neighbors and Friends): Get extra eyes on your home when you need them most.
Step 2: Clear Communication & Peace of Mind
Zuluhood's built-in chat feature allows you and your Tribe or Watchers to discuss any alerts directly within the app. This clarifies situations quickly and minimizes unnecessary worry.
Step 3: Upgrade to Professional Monitoring
Zuluhood offers the option to connect with professional monitoring companies, providing an extra layer of security whenever you need it most. Turn it on or off with a few taps, giving you complete control over your home security.
Ready to Get Started?
Learn how to connect your smart home devices to Zuluhood using the free automation platform IFTTT (If This Then That).
WHAT IS IFTTT AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
IFTTT is a service that lets you define triggers (the “Ifs”) that will execute different actions (the “Than Thats”). These rules are defined in small programs called Applets.
To set up your IFTTT account and connect it with Zuluhood, you don’t need special technical skills. Simply follow these steps:
Go to https://ifttt.com/ or download the IFTTT app in Google Play or the App Store.
Create your account.
Search “Zuluhood” or go directly to https://ifttt.com/zuluhood
Press the button “Connect” and login into your Zuluhood account.
Zuluhood works seamlessly with popular systems and platforms like Ring, Blink, Arlo, Abode, Smartthings and Google Assistant, giving you a wider range of security possibilities.
To connect your own system, find it under “IF THIS”, and use Zuluhood for “THEN THAT”.
