Quick Answer
Smart home automation through NetSecure360 is not a separate product, it is added to an ADT-powered security system so locks, a Nest thermostat, lighting, and cameras all run through the same ADT Control app as your alarm. Cost depends on which devices you add, and NetSecure360 does not publish a generic online price because the real number depends on your home. Get an exact figure from a free in-home assessment rather than a national average.
What "Smart Home Automation" Actually Means Here
The term gets used loosely. In the context of an ADT-powered system, it specifically means devices that connect to your 24/7 monitored security system and are controllable through one app, rather than a pile of separate smart-home gadgets each running their own app with no connection to your alarm. That distinction matters because it is also the practical difference between automation as a convenience feature and automation as part of your home's actual protection.
| Device | What It Does | Security Tie-In |
|---|---|---|
| Smart Door Lock | Keyless PIN entry, remote lock/unlock, per-user codes | Can auto-lock when the security system arms |
| Google Nest Thermostat | Schedule learning, geofencing, remote temperature control | Adjusts automatically when you arm to Away |
| Smart Lighting | Scheduled and remote on/off through the ADT app | Can simulate occupancy while you're away |
| Google Nest Cameras and Doorbell | Live HD video, motion alerts, two-way audio | Feeds directly into ADT 24/7 professional monitoring |
What It Costs, Honestly
Independent reviewers who track ADT pricing nationally (Security.org, SafeHome.org) report that ADT-powered smart home monitoring is typically added to an existing plan for a modest monthly increase, with device costs varying by how many locks, cameras, or thermostats you install and one-time installation starting around a hundred dollars. NetSecure360 does not publish a fixed number for the Harrisburg area because it depends entirely on your specific devices and home, and a generic national average would not be an honest quote for your address. What we can tell you upfront: automation is bundled into the Smart and Complete service plans, not sold as a separate contract, and a free in-home assessment gets you a real number before you commit to anything.

Get a Free QuoteWhy ADT and Google Nest Together Is the Real Differentiator
ADT has a direct partnership with Google, which means genuine Google Nest cameras, the Nest Doorbell, and Nest Thermostats can be professionally installed and monitored through the same app as your alarm system, not bolted on through a separate Nest account with its own subscription. For a full technical walkthrough of how that integration works, see our guide to how ADT and Google Nest work together. Several Central Pennsylvania installers offer home automation, but the combination of ADT's monitoring infrastructure with real Nest hardware, installed by the same local team that handles your security system, is not something every provider in the area can offer.
A Local Installer for Harrisburg and Camp Hill
NetSecure360 is headquartered in Camp Hill, PA, and installs for homeowners throughout Harrisburg and Cumberland County. The same technician who does your walkthrough handles the installation and stays reachable for adjustments afterward, rather than routing you to a call center once the sale is done. If you want to understand what the actual installation visit looks like before booking one, see our guide to what to expect during installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does smart home automation cost in the Harrisburg area?
Nationally, professionally installed smart home automation typically runs a one-time equipment and setup cost plus a small monthly add-on for control through your security app, often in the range of a few dollars a month when it is bundled with existing ADT monitoring rather than sold as its own separate service. Your exact cost depends on which devices you add (locks, thermostat, lighting) and how many. NetSecure360 provides a personalized quote after a free in-home assessment rather than a generic online estimate, since wiring, existing hardware, and home layout all affect the real number.
Do I need an existing security system to add smart home automation?
With NetSecure360, smart home automation is installed as part of an ADT-powered security system, not sold as a standalone product. If you already have a NetSecure360 system, locks, thermostat, and lighting can typically be added to your existing setup. If you do not yet have a system, automation is bundled into the Smart and Complete service plans.
Does ADT actually integrate with Google Nest products?
Yes. ADT has a direct partnership with Google that allows genuine Google Nest cameras, the Nest Doorbell, and Nest Thermostats to be professionally installed and monitored through the same ADT Control app used for your security system, rather than requiring a separate Nest app and a separate subscription.
Is smart home automation worth it for a Harrisburg homeowner?
It depends on what you value. If remote control of locks, lights, and temperature, plus energy savings from a learning thermostat, matter to you, the ADT Control app makes it a single interface rather than five separate apps. If you only want core intrusion and fire protection, the Secure plan covers that without automation, and you can add it later.
Can I automate just one thing, like the front door lock, without a full system?
Yes. Homeowners commonly start with a single device, most often the smart lock or the thermostat, and add more later. A NetSecure360 technician can scope a quote around exactly the devices you want rather than a fixed package.
