“Get Smart” About Your Holiday Travels
December 21, 2018
Have you ever left the house, with the car all packed for your holiday vacation, the kids are excited to see Grandma and Grandpa, and realized ten minutes down the freeway that you forgot to turn down the heating system for the week? It can be unnerving, knowing that your furnace may be running while you were away. And that heating bill! It sure can take the fun out of the holidays.
What if that could be a thing of the past, and instead of fretting over whether or not the thermostat was turned to “off,” you could just log in to your smartphone and turn it off from I-5? What if you could even see who is at the door while you’re cooking dinner miles away? Well, the future is here with a smart thermostat that is integrated with your home heating and cooling systems and so much more!
Smart Thermostats
Your current thermostat may seem sufficient. You turn it on and off and set the temperature; what more could one want? But there are many benefits to a smart thermostat that go beyond just being able to control it from wherever you can connect to the internet.
A Learning Thermostat
Smart thermostats learn from the behavior of you and your family each day, and then find the best setting for each part of the day. During a regular work week, a smart thermostat learns when you leave the house in the morning and when you return in the evening. And with the added benefit of home zoning, this technology can accurately optimize your home temperature based on your day to day patterns.
It typically takes about a week for a smart thermostat to “find the groove,” but once it does, you can rest easy knowing your furnace and air conditioner aren’t working any harder than they have to in order to keep you comfortable.
Smart Security
A smart thermostat can be integrated with a suite of other services and gadgets, including security cameras both inside and out of your home. This allows you to see if a package has been delivered to your front step while you are on vacation, or to check in on the dogs in your living room while you are at work. There are also cameras with built in speakers that can aid in de-railing any burglars from trespassing by allowing you to actually speak from your phone to the camera!
With a fully smart home, you can expect a home that is:
Safer
More comfortable
Environmentally conscious
Easy to control
