How to incorporate geofencing with your New Haven home security
You’ll find a wealth of possibilities when utilizing geofencing with your home’s security. Before hooking up your system, determining specifically what you are able to program through your app is a smart move. There is a definite security bonus as you can instruct your system to automatically secure your main entrance, engage your alarm, and even close your garage door while you depart. Conversely, when you return for the day, you can use geofencing to open your garage, unlock your main entrance, or turn on lights.
You’ll appreciate added convenience and the opportunity for utility savings along with improved security. Just consider being able to alter your home’s temperature automatically according to your location. There’s no sense in operating your A/C or furnace at full throttle when you’re not in the house. Instead, you can set it to automatically change temperatures when you exit and then resume your ideal settings upon your return.
There are various devices you might program via geofencing, including:
- Smart thermostats
- Entry locks
- Smart lights and plugs
- Garage doors
- Video cameras
- Motion sensors
Looking for a geofencing alternative? Configure automations and schedules
In addition to geofencing, many security systems let you program automations and schedules. For example, you may order your doors to secure or exterior lighting to engage at designated times each and every day. You could even have a few actions occur at the same time when you’re turning in for the night. Or you may program custom “If This, Then That” rules such as deactivating front door locks whenever a safety alarm goes off.
