Texecom App Recipes Explained
Texecom Connect is the app that turns your Texecom Premier alarm into a smart home alarm system. One of the key and unique parts of the Texecom Connect app is the ‘recipes’ that it allows you to create.
A recipe is a set of rules based around ’cause and effect’, which allows you to connect devices in a smart way – usually along the lines of ‘IF X THEN Y’. For example, ‘IF the front door opens THEN turn on hall light’.
