( CNN ) -- AT & T is joining the expanding field of home security and automation , introducing a wireless service that will let homeowners use their mobile devices to remotely set alarms , turn on lights or even shut off water . Called AT & T Digital Life , the service will connect users with a vast array of domestic devices and appliances , including cameras , door locks , smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and thermostats . It will run on AT & T 's IP-based wireless platform and can be accessed via smartphones , tablets or PCs . And despite being from AT & T , it will work regardless of the user 's wireless carrier . The company plans to begin trials of the service in Atlanta and Dallas this summer . `` AT & T Digital Life will change the way people live , work and play -- and meets a clear need in the market , '' said Kevin Petersen , senior vice president of Digital Life for AT & T Mobility . `` The service is smart , simple and customer-centric -- freeing homeowners to do the things they want to do without compromising on the things they need to do to care for family and home . '' Digital Life joins other existing products and wireless companies that are taking advantage of people 's increasing reliance on mobile devices . Comcast offers a home-security feature through an iPhone app . Verizon offers a similar service , while home security market leader ADT features ADT Pulse on approved devices . In a news release from AT & T , Larry Hettick , a research director for market-research company Current Analysis , says that Digital Life `` promises to be as robust as anything in the marketplace today . '' He said he was impressed with the system 's wireless platform and ability , unlike some existing services , to work with a wide range of different devices .
