Automate Your Lighting

Initially you wouldn’t likely think that lights could play a part in protecting your home from burglars, but brightening your home at night lets people know in the neighborhood that someone is there. Automated lighting will also help you decide which lights to keep on so that you can see but at the same time save energy. At night while you sleep, motion sensors can trigger the lights to come on if someone walks by. You’ll wake up and know a stranger is near the house when a few outdoor lights come on. Of course it could be a raccoon trying to get a midnight snack, but it’s good to be aware of every situation.

Stay Connected to Your Home 24-7

Besides the threat of getting robbed, it’s important to be aware of fires, floods, and carbon monoxide leaks. But how do you know if a fire starts or a pipe leaks while you’re away from home? With alarm.com, you can stay connected to your house 24-7 and know if an accident occurs immediately. The home automation system will send an alert to your smartphone via text message or send an alert to your email address so you know if there’s suspicious activity. We’ll connect your smoke detector, a carbon monoxide sensor, and a sump pump monitor to your smart system so you can stay aware of everything going on at home.

Fires: If it detects a fire, an alarm will sound and the HVAC will turn off to prevent the fire from spreading. In addition to alerting emergency responders, Alarm.com also sends messages to your emergency contacts, like family and neighbors, to make them aware of the situation.

Carbon Monoxide Leak: We can connect a carbon monoxide sensor to your Alarm.com system so that you’ll receive alerts if there’s ever a leak in your home. Carbon monoxide poisoning is fatal, so it’s crucial to detect a leak immediately. In the same way the system responds to a fire, Alarm.com monitoring services alert a local station to minimize the danger.

Flooding: Alarm.com can proactively protect your home from water damage by alerting you if your sump pump isn’t working like it should so that you can respond quickly. The system can tell you if the pump has lost power, if the pump is broken or if it is not removing water fast enough. Aside from the sump pump, our systems can detect other leaks like a burst pipe, backed up drain, or an overflowing washing machine. Our smart water solution will let you know immediately so you can respond, and can even turn off your home’s water supply to stop the damage from getting out of control.

We know that protecting your loved ones and valuables is a top priority. Home automation can help make monitoring your home easy. You’ll have peace of mind in the event any threat comes your way. Not only does home automation ensure your house stays protected, but it also adds convenience and luxury to your lifestyle.
