Home Automation Ideas In Bellingham

You have smart speakers, but are they making your life simpler? Most smart devices can help you become efficient and responsive. Here are a couple of Bellingham home automation tips and tricks to allow your smart devices work for your home.


Tip: Install Smart Door Locks To Find Out When Your Kids Arrive Home From School

If your family is made up of school-aged kids, it's nice to know when they come home for the day. Employ this Bellingham home automation concept to get an instant alert when they walk into the door. First, install and then set it to alert your mobile device when they enter their private unlock code. Then tell them a quick hello through the 2-way talk feature on the indoor security camera.

Trick: Link Your Home Automation Equipment

One of the great things about home automation is linking all of your smart components to each other. For example, don't worry about remembering to lock your entry way when you leave for work. Instead, use your security mobile app to regularly bolt your doors when your phone is no longer on your premises. You can also create schedules where your smart devices come on if your security cameras sense unusual motion or have your smart thermostat turn on the exhaust fan if your fire alarms go off.

Tip: Program Scenes For Your Automation Devices

When you’re a homeowner, you know how frustrating it is to decide which breaker goes to which area of your house when your break box aren't correctly labeled. It's the same feeling with your smart alarms and cameras. When installing up your smart lights, you don't want to be puzzled about which smart camera is active or which smart camera is triggered. Getting an alert that the main door has been broken takes the guessing out of trying to figure out, say, a notification that door one has been breached.

Trick: Guard Your Deliveries with Home Automation

The theft of expected parcells could be a typical fear. However, by adding a doorbell camera with your home security, you can fight missing deliveries. You can program your home security to show you alerts when your packages are dropped off, then automatically create a smart clip if the camera is tripped afterward. You might even program it to trigger your porch light or deploy the two-way talk feature, so it still seems like you're inside.
