Smart automation is a common feature of any smart home. Each device and appliance may operate in certain ways, based on sensor information, schedules and AI algorithms. When devices work as a system, it is easier to implement automation. Home security needs to remain functional and effective 24/7 and there are many ways that home automation can help to keep your home more secure.

Ways to keep your home secure using smart home automation:

Constant Monitoring- while you are away, automated home security systems which feature Wi-fi cameras,smart switches, and smart doorbells, ensure constant monitoring. It can detect potential intruders in your lawn and garden area. When a suspicious individual is near or entering your property, you will be notified through your smartphone. You may trigger the alarm briefly from your smartphone and see if the individual leaves your home.

Timed Lighting- if your outdoor and indoor lighting are turned on for a few days in a row, it is a dead giveaway that there’s no one home. With smart lighting, it gives the illusion that you are at home. Lighting can be turned on and off with a timer or using a light sensor, which is a more accurate way to control lighting automatically. If it’s heavily overcast and rainy during the day, the automated system will turn on the indoor lighting as well. During bedtime, lights in bedrooms can be turned off automatically. This arrangement makes it more believable that there is someone at home.

Automated Door Locks- sometimes, you forget to lock the front door when you are in a hurry. If the front door is left unlocked for a period of time, the smart home system can lock a smart lock automatically. You can even check the status of your locks with your smartphone while you are away. If someone is tampering with your locks, you will get notified immediately. Smart locks are convenient because they can be paired with your smartphone via a mobile app. When you approach the door with the smartphone in your pocket, it will be unlocked automatically.
