Inside AT&T's secure home (photos)

AT&T has created a home security system that can control everything from your front-door lock and alarms to your coffee machine called Digital Life (read CNET's report).

The company debuted the technology at an event in a private house in New Orleans' Garden District.

The app can unlock your front door with a tap or on a timer.

These Wi-Fi-enabled sensors form the backbone of the house's security network.

The Digital Life system can also raise or lower your blinds. It can apparently work with anything in the house that has an on-and-off switch.

Here, the Digital Life app is turning on the pool lights.

The app, called AT&T Digital Life, will work on both tablets and smartphones for Android, iOS, and an HTML5-driven Web portal.

AT&T says that the app is designed for accessibility, meaning that they want you to be able to use it from a variety of devices and in multiple situations and room.

This sensor will allow you to plug into the Digital Life network.

In the kitchen, you can turn off the coffee pot, lock your doors, close your blinds, and control the sink.

While AT&T designed multiple scenarios and preloaded them to show how it works, you will have to customize your settings for each room that's connected to Digital Life.
