It's no secret that AlertMe are looking to grow through other companies, and British Gas Safe & Secure is just one example. Very interestingly, they've recently teamed up with Lowe's in the USA, and are going to launch a system called 'Lowe's Iris'.
Here's an article about it. Interesting!

Alerty - you could control your AlertMe system with my third-party app for iPhone and iPod Touch. Used to be available on iTunes!
