Home automation has changed significantly over the last few years and is something that will make your life much easier and safer that once you have it you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.
Here are some of the best home automation options for 2017.
Home Security
Home security offers many more options than it once did. For example, you could opt for the following:
- Motion detectors
- Glass break detectors
- Photoelectric smoke and heat detectors which offer the fastest rate of detection possible
- Water and sump pump detectors
- Key fobs that allow you to operate your systems from the palm of your hand
- Wireless or cellular communication systems that don’t rely on a landline or an active internet connection to protect you and your home
- Interactive home security and automation via a Total Connect app (which we’ll go over in a minute)
Camera Surveillance
Camera and video surveillance provide real-time video streaming and recording options from anywhere. These systems allow you to view your home even while you’re not there so you and/or the authorities can proactively handle or correct any situation that might arise.
Interactive Home Security and Automation
Interactive home security and automation systems use an app that allows you to access, monitor and control all of your home security and home automation devices remotely from any PC or mobile device. One of the most popular apps for this is the Total Connect app. With these systems, you can remotely monitor your kids, pets, contractors, babysitters or caregivers using live video cameras that you can monitor through your PC or mobile device.
Interactive home security and automation systems are also capable of sending you critical alerts or texts. For example:
- Receive an alert or text if any designated area has been accessed such as your safe, gun or liquor cabinet, etc.
- When your kids arrive home from school (or not)
- If a flood or extreme temperature change is detected in your home
- Anytime motion is sensed in your designated areas inside or outside of your home
- When valuable objects inside or outside of your home are moved
- If any type of glass break is detected
With interactive home automation systems, you can also remotely control your security system, door locks, thermostats, lighting and more all from a single app.
