Around the country, during the dog days of summer, most are doing all they can to beat the heat. Luckily, home automation features make it easier than ever to enjoy everything the season has to offer, no matter where you are. That's why we're rounding up all of the "cool" summer smart home life hacks to help you maximize all your Alert 360
security system has to offer!
Smart Thermostats
Is it any surprise that a
smart thermostat is at the top of our list? Of course, your Alert 360 smart thermostat is the key to cooling off while you're at home, but there's much more to this device than simply blasting air conditioning all summer long.
Not only does it offer the convenience of being able to control your home's temperature no matter where you are, but through your Alert 360 app and voice commands, you can adjust the temperature of your home on the go.
Ready to leave for vacation but don't want to waste money while you're gone? No problem! You can adjust your settings without ever leaving your beach chair, plus you can cool down your home before you return ensuring your home is the perfect temperature when you arrive.
Not to mention the efficiency! Smart thermostats help users conserve up to 23% of winter heating energy and up to 16% of summer cooling energy, saving an average of around 8% of heating and cooling bills!
Bonus Summer Smart Home Hack: Temperature Sensors
If you have rooms that tend to run hotter in the summer months, you can specifically target them with temperature sensors. That way you can still stay cool without freezing the rest of your household!
Summer Smart Home Lights
Since summer means the longest days of the year, you'll want to make sure you're getting the most of all that extra sunshine! With smart lights, you can control the brightness of your rooms from anywhere. Hanging by the pool and realize you left the kitchen lights on? No need to get up, simply use your app to dim or turn them off completely!
You can also take advantage of integrated timers, so when the sun finally does set, your home will be ready to light the way. Plus, when you head out for a long vacation this summer, you can ensure your home stays protected. Setting timers is a great way to ward off potential burglars and intruders. Don't forget, a well-lit home looks like an active home, no matter if anyone is occupying it or not!
The theme for a lot of home automation features is efficiency and convenience. That means making it easier to enjoy everything your home has to offer, whether you're there or not. Since summer likely means spending less time at home, what better way to keep an eye on things than with doorbell and security cameras?
Doorbell cameras are a great way to keep an eye on package drop-offs while you're away, or to screen your backyard barbecue visitors without ever leaving the grill! When work calls you away for the day, two-way cameras are a great way to check in on children who are home alone during summer break.
