Home automation systems are becoming more popular in homes, but do you know how they can benefit you and help protect your home?
Home automation systems are designed to keep your home running as though you’re there while you’re away. WH Security’s home automation system – Interactive Security Services – allows you to remotely control your lights, door locks, power outlets, thermostats and view live security camera feeds through any device with an Internet connection.
All of these features have great security benefits. If you’re away from home for an extended period of time, you can turn on different lights so it looks like your home is occupied. If you forget to lock your door when you leave, you can lock it from your smart phone (and unlock it, too).
The option to view live video from security cameras takes your remote home access to an even higher level. With this option, you’ll actually be able to see what’s happening at your home while you’re away! You can check in on your kids to see if they got home from school on time, or see if your dog is staying off your furniture – all from your mobile device!
The ability to remotely control your thermostat has a number of benefits as well. You can save on your heating expenses this winter by turning down your thermostat after you leave. Before you come home, turn it back up to a comfortable setting so your home reaches that temperature before you arrive. Reverse the operation in the summer to save on your air conditioning costs.
Whether you want to be able to view live video of your home or just remotely lock your doors, WH Security’s home automation systems can be designed to meet your specific needs. Because we’re based locally in Minnesota, we know the area and can help create the perfect solution for you.
