Leaving the House? Home Automation Makes it Easy

The use of smart devices are on the rise and it’s no wonder why. When used in a secure ecosystem, home automation can make life a lot easier. Not to mention, home automation offers convenience, extra security, and even sometimes a bit of entertainment. The best smart devices offer both security and convenience, especially when you leave your home.  If you haven’t made the leap to transforming your house into a smart home, there’s no better time than now to get started.

Here are a few must-have smart devices that can make a big difference in your life.

A smart thermostat will save you tons

The Nest Learning Thermostat offers not only convenience but huge savings. As it conforms to your schedule, the Nest Learning Thermostat will ensure that your home won’t waste energy when you leave, so you can avoid spending money on heating and cooling an empty home.

Video doorbells provide extra surveillance

Not only can you see who is coming and going when you invest in a Ring Video Doorbell; you can also answer your door remotely through a two-way speaker. This gives the impression that you’re at home, offering security along with convenience.

Smart door locks offer convenience and security

If you are the forgetful type, you need a smart door lock. You can enter your house without the use of keys, so you’re never locked out again. If you think you may have forgotten to lock the door, you can always check and lock it remotely from your smartphone.

This also makes it a must-have device for the parents of any forgetful (ie. all) children.

Smart Garage protects your whole home

Chances are that you may have driven away from home, forgetting to close your garage once before. Not only does this leave your garaged belongings at risk, but also everything in your home, as most homeowners do not lock the door leading into their homes.

To prevent serious theft from occurring, Smart Garage will let you see your garage door’s status and give you the ability to open or close it remotely.

So whether you’re leaving for a week or just to the office for the day, let home automation work hard for you. Just a few smart devices included in your monitored home security system will leave your home secure, giving you peace of mind.
