Save smarter with Connected Home.

To help you protect your home, we’ve partnered with Roost® and Resideo, leading smart home technology providers.

What's Connected Home?

It’s a discount program that rewards you for using smart home devices. 

Just connect at least two water leak detectors from Roost or Resideo and start sharing data with us. We’ll give you a discount on your USAA Homeowners Insurance.‍ ‍ See note 1

You can also get mobile alerts about potential incidents and prevent serious damage before it happens. And you can add more devices from there.

Safeguard your home with these devices.

Water leak detectors

Place them near toilets, sinks, dishwashers or water heaters and detect leaks before there's serious damage.

Smart thermostats

Control your home's temperature from anywhere, boost energy savings and help protect against freezing pipes.

Alarms and alerts

Get an alert if an intruder breaks in, a smoke detector goes off or a fire alarm starts ringing.

Shop for devices through USAA Perks®.

Smart home devices can help you save thousands in repairs and avoid the hassle of filing a claim.

You can use devices you already own.

If you already have eligible Roost or Resideo devices, you can use them. You just need two water leak detectors to get started.

Make sure your devices are set up on their manufacturer’s app. Then enroll in Connected Home and start sharing data from your devices with USAA.

How it works

First, you'll need a USAA Homeowners Insurance policy. If you don't have one, you can get a quote for homeowners insurance.

Steps to complete How it works

  1. Devices

    Install and connect at least two water leak detectors using the manufacturer’s app for the discount.

  2. Enrollment

    Confirm that your devices can connect to Wi-Fi. Then it only takes a few minutes to enroll and sign a participation agreement.

  3. Data Sharing

    After you enroll, choose the option to share data with USAA and get your homeowners policy discount.

Connected Home FAQ

Yes, you can sign up as many homes as you have USAA Homeowners Insurance policies for. Each home must be in an eligible state and share data from at least two water leak detectors.

You'll need Wi-Fi at the home you’re enrolling. And you’ll need a smartphone with an operating system of iOS 10, Android 6 or higher. 

In most states, we don’t apply the Connected Home discount and the Protective Device Credit at the same time.

If you’re eligible for both, we’ll apply the Connected Home discount since it’s the larger of the two.

If you’re eligible for the Sprinkler Discount, you can receive it along with the Connected Home discount.

Roost and Resideo will share device usage data with us for all devices connected to your app. This won’t include any audio, video or still images.

We’ll use the data internally to improve our offerings and better serve USAA members. We’ll never share your data with third-party or marketing companies.

We take your privacy seriously and will always work hard to protect your data. For more information, read the USAA Privacy Promise.
