Safety, Security, and Convenience, Oh My!

Home automation is now easier and less expensive than ever. Smart hubs on the market today allow you to run a variety of devices, such as smart thermostats, locks, lights, speakers and cameras, all from one app. Here are just a few things you can do:

• View and adjust your thermostat from wherever you are.
• Remotely lock/unlock your door; get text notifications whenever it’s locked/unlocked.
• Dim, turn on, or shut off lights automatically, whether you’re home or away.
• View video from motion-activated cameras in real time on your smart phone.

Smart hubs also allow you to create schedules to automatically turn devices on and off to align with your routines and activities. And it’s more enjoyable when you’re plugged in and not worried about what could be going on at your home while you’re away.
