Keep The Lawn Fresh With Automated Sprinklers
Timed sprinklers are fairly common these days – especially during the hot summers in Texas. However, when you connect your smart home automation to your sprinklers, you can have even more control over how much your lawn gets watered and when. If it rains while traveling, you can turn your sprinklers off for the day. Or, if a heatwave comes while you’re out of town, you can increase the amount you are watering your yard.
Allow Limited Entry To Specific People
Receiving packages and deliveries can become a pain when going on vacation. The good news is that you can use home automation to provide limited access for delivery drivers and service people. If you know you have a package on the way, you can create a temporary access code for the front door so that they can set your delivery inside and away from prying eyes. It’s a great way to make sure you don’t end up being one of the 36% of Americans who have had a package stolen from the porch.
This is also helpful if service people need access to your house while you’re gone. If you have a landscaper coming by, they can get a code to access your garage. This will allow you to share access with the people who need it while keeping your home safe.
Keep an Eye On The House While You’re Away
The best part of smart home automation is the improved security. Vacations are great, but vacations where you don’t worry about your home, are even better. You can set up alerts on your phone for opened doors, perimeter breaches, and more. You can also use smart home automation to track the inside of your home! Smart sensors can track internal things like water pipes and smoke sensors. If something goes wrong in your home while you’re away, you will be aware of it and can request a repair team to fix the problem!
