Surety Home Launches Alarm.com My Circle for Teens and Aging Parents

The new in-app feature shows how loved ones are feeling, where they are and whether they are up and about, at no extra charge on two Surety Home plans.

COLUMBUS, OH, UNITED STATES, August 21, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Surety Home today launched Alarm.com My Circle, an in-app family safety feature now included at no extra charge on its Surety Home and Surety Complete monitoring plans. My Circle gives families a live picture of how the people they care about are doing, whether those people are across town or across the country.

Home security has spent forty years getting very good at protecting buildings. My Circle is aimed at something harder: knowing that the people who matter are okay. It runs entirely in the Alarm.com app, with no hardware to buy, install or mount, and it puts everyone in a family circle on one dashboard.

What families see at a glance:

– How a loved one is feeling, shared with a single tap. That one tap is the difference between reporting and staying quiet for people who would never place a call to say they are struggling.

– Where everyone is, on a real-time map, without sending a check-in text and waiting for a reply.

– Phone battery level, which turns an alarming silence into an ordinary explanation.

– Daily step count, a plain signal that someone is up and about. A morning with no steps from a parent who always walks the dog is a reason to pick up the phone.

Color coding on the dashboard flags who may need a check-in, so a glance is enough. Alerts arrive automatically when someone leaves or returns home, when a phone battery runs low, when no activity is detected for 24 hours, or when a mood check-in comes back poor. Notifications can go to several family members at once, which matters when siblings are sharing responsibility for a parent.

Surety Home sees two situations driving demand. Parents of teenagers want to answer “where are you and are you okay” without turning it into a negotiation, and the one-tap check-in gives a kid a low-friction way to say the day is going badly. Families with a parent aging at home want an early warning rather than a phone call after something has already happened.

For those families, My Circle fills the gap left by in-home monitoring. Alarm.com Wellness uses the security system already in the house to watch the person, building a baseline from door sensors, motion detectors and pressure pads. My Circle uses the app in the person’s pocket, so the picture does not stop at the front door. The Alarm.com Safety Button, also included on both plans, covers the moment when someone knows they need help now.

My Circle is available today to Surety Home customers on the Surety Home and Surety Complete plans, which start at $17 and $24 per month respectively. Plan details are at https://SuretyHome.com/plans/. Customers add the feature themselves at no charge, and every Surety plan is month to month with no contract and no cancellation fee. Full requirements and setup instructions are available on the Surety support forum.
