This is a critical step to enabling the highest quality 24×7 support available.
What parts of my system can be monitored and supported?
ADE can monitor:
- Whether most of your network connected devices are up and running.
- Health of many connected AV devices and light switches (availability may vary depending on manufacturer).
- Internet up/down state and average upload/ download speeds.
What parts of my system can't be monitored?
- Quality of audio/video (a connected network media player may show as online but the audio or video may still be experiencing issues).
- Different apps or services within connected network devices (i.e. Netflix not working or Pandora producing an error message within a functioning Apple TV or Sonos player).
