A platform for growth
Last month, Resideo Technologies announced the introduction of its connected ProSeries Security and Life Safety platform to Europe. The platform has been developed for residential and small business applications and is modular by design, incorporating hardware, software, an app and associated services. We take a closer look….

he introductory offering in the three initial European launch markets – France, Spain and the UK – includes: the PROBOX-EU wireless security panel, a suite of compatible wireless sensors and peripherals and professional and self-monitoring options. It is reported that the platform can offer professional installers the opportunity to grow their businesses by enabling them to develop their customer relationships beyond the traditional install and repair life cycle. This is done by offering a monthly service that enhances the security and safety of the home and small businesses. Laurent Legris, Senior Director of Safety and Security Product Management, explains the significance of the introduction of ProSeries to Europe: “Our ProSeries solution has been protecting homes and businesses across America and Canada since 2020. The introduction of a version specifically tailored for the European market is good news for homeowners and small businesses, who want to protect what matters most, and professional security installers who want to grow their business through smart services.” The number of panel variations, peripherals and services will be extended during the remainder of 2023 and into 2024. To find out more about the platform and the thinking behind the launch, PSI caught up with Mario Moura, Products & Solutions EMEA Managing Director at Resideo:

How do you intend to convince installers to switch to you? We are not looking at the new solution simply as an alarm system. We see it as a life safety system that in the near future will be able to integrate with HVAC systems, water leak detectors, energy management systems and other similar platforms. We believe that the USPs that differentiate us from other players in the UK market include the fact that ProSeries is an entire life safety system designed for professional installers in the European market. We’re not envisioning going to retailers or the
