It’s the 21st century — welcome to it. Smart technology and the internet connected home have the power to transform our lives. This technology puts the power of control in your hands, making it possible to manage an amazing number of things in your house from your mobile device, from anywhere. Here are our 3 favorite smart technologies for your home.
Smart Garage Door
Upgrade your garage door with the latest in smart technology by installing a smart overhead door opener. While it’s often referred to as a “smart garage door,” the real intelligence lies within the opener itself. With a smart opener, you gain unparalleled control over your garage door using your smartphone, computer, or any other connected device.
Imagine the convenience of being able to check the status of your garage door from anywhere using your phone. Whether you’re at work, running errands, or on vacation, you can quickly check if your garage door is securely closed with just a glance at your mobile device. This added peace of mind can help alleviate worries about leaving your garage door open accidentally. This can be surprisingly helpful during busy or hectic days. It’s like leaving the stove on, the concern lingers all day.
But the benefits of a smart garage door opener extend beyond mere convenience. With package theft becoming increasingly common smart garage doors offer a solution to safeguard your deliveries. By granting temporary access to delivery drivers, you can ensure that packages are securely stored inside your garage until you’re ready to retrieve them. Say goodbye to worries about porch pirates and hello to hassle-free deliveries.
In addition to remote monitoring and package protection, smart garage door openers offer a range of features designed to enhance security and convenience. Some models integrate seamlessly with home automation systems. You can control your garage door alongside other smart devices in your home. You can set schedules, receive alerts, and even create custom automation routines tailored to your specific needs. You can even tell Siri to open your overhead door hands free!
Smart Thermostat
Did you know that heating and cooling contribute to half of a household’s energy consumption, according to the US Department of Energy. Cutting your costs is good for the environment and it’s great for your household budget. A smart thermostat makes it possible to adjust the temperature of your home remotely. During the hot summers we get in Elk Grove, California, you can minimize the air conditioning in your home when you aren’t home. When it’s time to make that commute, you can kick the AC back up to nice and breezy so it’s cool when you get home.
Smart Doorbell
Smart doorbells have become very popular because they make life easy. They provide crisp video of your door 24/7 so you can always see who’s at the door, even when you’re at work. The live and recordable video makes it easier to see the person on the other end of the door so you are more secure. You can also provide access to kids when they get home from school.
From your garage door to your HVAC, more and more of your home can become “smart.” It’s something that will only expand from here as we all set out to make our homes as comfortable as possible. We can’t wait to see what comes next in smart home improvements.
