Getnexx

Getnexx sells smart home hardware — alarms, garage door controllers, and plugs — that let you monitor and control things from your phone. You can check if your alarm is armed, see if your garage door is closed, or turn a light on with voice commands. The products connect over WiFi and work with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Siri, and Samsung SmartThings. There are no monthly monitoring fees for the alarm system, and the company offers a 90-day return policy.

The Nexx Home app is the central hub for all devices. You install the hardware yourself in about 20 minutes — the garage controller attaches to your existing opener, the alarm adds smart control to your existing system, and the plugs fit into any outlet. The app shows live status and lets you take action: arm or disarm the alarm, close the garage door, or toggle a plug on and off. The company is based in Dallas, Texas, and stores data on US-based cloud servers. Customer support is available via chat, and there's a 1-year warranty on all products.

This is for homeowners or renters who want basic smart home control without a big investment or subscription. Use cases include checking whether you left the garage open while at work, arming the alarm as you leave for vacation, or setting lights on a schedule to make it look like someone's home. It's a straightforward way to add remote control to things you already own — no professional installation, no monthly fees, just a one-time purchase.
