Create Custom Lighting Schedules

With home automation, there is no longer any need to fumble around for the light switch. A customized lighting schedule allows you to program the lights in your home to turn on (and off) at a specific time daily.

In addition, you can also set them to turn on when certain actions occur such as the front door opening or the doorbell ringing.

Create Custom Door Locks

Enhance your custom home security solution with complete control and visibility over all the entry points to your home.

By integrating automated door locks and garage door controls into your home automation system, you will have the same real time-visibility and control options for your doors as you do for your home security system.

With this smart home technology you can:

Lock and unlock your doors and control your garage door from anywhere
Check the status of your doors and garage to know if they are secure or not
Give visitors temporary access with unique lock codes and get notifications every time they lock/unlock the doors
Set custom notifications such as a no-show alert when the children don’t get home on time or anytime the dog-walker arrives.

Use Smart Schedules on Your Thermostat

A smart thermostat is an innovative home automation product that lets you remotely control the temperature of your home via a tablet, smartphone or desktop for greater control over your central heating.

Smart thermostats provide many benefits including:

Lowering the cost of your electricity bill
Heating your home more efficiently
Helping you better understand your heating usage through reports so that you can adjust your behavior accordingly to save money
