For now, only customers in Atlanta, Austin, Boulder, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, Philadelphia, Riverside, San Francisco, Seattle, St. Louis, and select parts of New York/New Jersey can subscribe.

The home management service comes in two varities: a $29.99 monthly + $149.99 installation package, and a $39.99 monthly + $249.99 installation pagkage with a few more options over the cheaper rate, such as a glass break detector and carbon monoxide detector. From there, users can add more feature, including a door, energy, camera, water detection, and water control package for smaller additional rates per month.

AT&T Digital Life's Senior Vice President Kevin Petersen said, "We know how important security is to our customers, and this was our top priority when we set out to build Digital Life.
