Monitor the Markets

You may have a significant amount of your retirement portfolio in the markets. Needless to say, the last few weeks have seen some excitement in the markets we could probably all live without. But you can stay on top of it and know what to do. When your car pulls into the garage, the door's opening will trigger your TVs to turn on all your TVs to CNBC to catch the market wrapup and analysis. Yes, you can do that with home automation! We can’t promise that you won’t need a drink for the current news, but it will get better. 

Wake Up the Kids

Have some sleepy heads in the family that dislike getting up? Your home automation system can flash the lights in their room at the time of your choosing. Extreme? Sure, but it works. And their reward for getting out of bed on time for school will be that the lights won’t flash on weekends!

Your Entry Sentry

Hate to hear the doorbell when you’re in the middle of a favorite show on TV? Your connected video doorbell can trigger an image of your visitor right on your TV. Then, you can communicate with them on your dedicated smart home touchscreen tablet or smartphone without leaving the couch. 

Unmistakable Alerts

What if someone gets into your home when you’re away? You can have every light instantly turn on along with the alarm. Your security cameras will also catch a very clear image of whoever it is. Have the system blast “we know exactly where you are” on your whole home audio speakers too. That should give any interloper pause.

Easy Entertainment

Be the couch commander with home automation. Press play on your AV remote, and your lights dim, the audio system comes on, your motorized shades or curtains close, and your temperature is set for comfortable entertainment. When you need a snack or break, pressing pause raises the lights enough to light your way to where you need to go. 

Remote Control Your Home

Need to secure a package delivery or let someone in your home while away? It’s easy with smart locks and garage doors. When the delivery person alerts you, instruct them to leave it in the garage. Tap to open the door, watch with your security camera, and close the door when it’s done. If you have someone to tend to the house, you can let them in through the smart garage door or your smart-lock-equipped entry door. Isn’t that easy?
