8 Things To Be Thankful For When You Have a Smart Home System

Happy Thanksgiving!

While there are many things to be thankful for, such as having a roof over our heads, food on our tables, and being surrounded by our loved ones, we should also be thankful for the safety of all of them and ensuring that they remain safe. This is why we feel extremely thankful for having the technology that truly helps us ensure just that and does so easily. Having a smart home can do so much more than alarming your home that notifies the monitoring system if there has been a breach. It can help you from having such breaches taking place so that there is never a need for panic or for notifying the monitoring system. Below are some of the reasons we feel thankful for having a Smart Home System.

Being Able to Always Ensure Your Home is Secure and Safe

There is nothing more important than ensuring that your family is safe and secure. Thus, having a smart home security system in place can truly help you accomplish that, not only effectively but also easily. This is why at SecurU, we are thankful for such a technology to exist that allows us to ensure that our homes and families are safe and sound.

Having The Ability To Keep Tabs On Who Enters and Leaves Your Premises

Back in the day, who knew we could be able to easily keep tabs on who enters and leaves our homes without us physically being there? Well, now we can. With Alarm.com’s smart home, you can easily see who enters your home or leaves in by going to your app and just checking the check-ins and check-outs. Having such a feature can help you ensure that no unauthorized person has access to your house, your children are coming home when they are expected, and that your dog walker showed up on schedule.

Being In Control of Your Locks

Part of keeping your home and family safe is by ensuring you lock your doors. Sometimes, due to the daily worries in our lives, we may forget to lock our doors when we are leaving or going to bed. However, when you have smart locks placed in your smart home system, you can be rest assured that your locks are always secured by accessing your mobile app. Having such a feature truly takes the worries and burdens off your shoulders knowing that no matter where you are you can always make sure your doors are locked and your home secured.

Virtually Controlling Your Home’s Temperature and Lights

With a smart home system in place, you can virtually control the temperature of your home by going to your mobile app. This can come in extremely handy when you’re away and need to ensure that your energy costs are being correctly managed. Furthermore, you can also make sure you lights are turned on and off on schedule to not only save on energy costs but to also give the impression to outsiders that you are “in the house.”

Never Worrying About Leaving Your Garage Door Open

Who else tends to forget whether or not they actually closed their garage doors? With a smart home system, you can ensure that you in fact closed your garage door, and if not, you can easily have it closed through a click of a button. This feature really helps home owners ensure that they are keeping their homes and families safe from intruders.

Keeping Your Home Safe From Fire and Other Disasters

Smart home systems can really help you stay safe during the event of a fire or other disasters by notifying you before its too late. Often times, residents of a home do not realize there is a fire till its too late for them to do anything about it. Therefore, thanks to smart home technology we can strive to keep our homes safe from extreme damages by such disasters.

Being Notified of Any Activity In Your Home and Its Surrounding

Surveys have shown that before a burglary takes place, intruders do an extensive research on the premises to minimize the risk of getting caught and maximize their loots. Thus, they tend to often study your home’s surroundings when you’re not there by visiting your driveways, backyards, etc. Having a video doorbell or image sensor can help you notice such suspicious activities so that you can report them to the police, ensuring that your home is safe from a possible intrusion.

Answering Your Door From Wherever You Are

Often times when you’re away, intruders would ring the bell to see if anyone’s home before they try to breach your doors and enter. Having a video doorbell installed in your smart home can help deter such intrusions as it allows you to answer the door via your smart phone. Doing so will give the visitor (intruder) the impression that you’re home and thus, would deter them from trying to enter your premises.
