“Smart Home” is the term commonly used to define a residence that has appliances, lighting, heating, air conditioning, TVs, computers, entertainment audio & video systems, security, and camera systems that are capable of communicating with one another and can be controlled remotely by a time schedule, from any room in the home, as well as remotely from any location in the world by phone or internet.
Home Automation can help with you resolutions
Take Control of Your Life
– New smart phone apps are a portable command center that allows you to control door locks, lights, thermostats and video cameras.
– Real Time notifications which include security reminders, temperature alerts, video clips and everything else you might want to be notified of.
More Accessible to your Loved Ones
– With a smart home you can make access easy for the right people. Unique user codes can be assigned to provide different levels of access.
– With each person having a unique code you can be notified when each person gets home and who is using the system.
– Temporary access can be given to contractors or pet sitters. Any access code can be time restricted to only allow access during certain hours.
Focus on The Important Things
– It's easy to get too much information so with the new smart home systems you can filter out what you don't want to receive alerts for. For example, you can choose to be alerted when:
- Your front door opens when you're at work
- you leave home without arming your security system
- someone changes your thermostat temperature
- someone opens a desk drawer in your home office
- your outdoor camera records a motion-triggered video clip
