It’s that time of year again, where the Irish winter has taken its toll and we all long for our summer holidays. Whether you have booked 2 weeks in a warm sun drenched resort or optimistically booked a holiday in the west of Ireland in the hope of some well-deserved good weather. We all long for some relaxation time and the chance to escape and recharge the batteries.
In planning your break away and all the organising that goes along with it, and if the the sheer thought of mobilising your family for your annual holiday is not enough stress, there are lots of other things to consider – have I packed everything I will need, do I have enough sun screen, who will put the bins out, did I unplugged the iron, have I locked the garage door…….the list goes on!
When you’re sitting on the beach with your toes in the sand and a drink in your hand, you don’t want to spend a single moment wondering if you if the lights you left on to deter would-be burglars are safe. As important as it is to be prepared with everything you need for your trip, it’s just as important to be certain things at home are taken care of while you’re away.
Smart home technology gives you the peace of mind you need to know that your home is safe and secure in your absence. There are so many conveniences and security features available to allow you to fully relax and enjoy your break away. So, as you lie by the pool this summer here are some of the conveniences an integrated control system can deliver to allow you to fully unwind:
Check which lights are on at the house
Check the status of your security system and view live security video
Make adjustments to your heating controller
Set up temporary security codes if anyone needs to get in your house
Adjust the blinds day or night
Control your music system remotely
Set up a “mockupancy” scene that turns on lights at randomised times. That way it will look like there’s someone in the house (even if you’re in a different time zone).
Security alerts
Perimeter security, so if someone breaks this beam you will receive a message to your smartphone, giving you a chance to immediately check your CCTV video and if necessary, notify the authorities before an intruder even gets to your home.
With one touch control, you can initiate a “going away” scene: simultaneously all the lights in your home turn off, your doors lock automatically, your security system arms itself, and the heating control is adjusted to your pre-set “Holiday mode”. Farewell home, hello relaxation and peace of mind!
And much, much more….
