El Paso Smart Home Automation Ideas

You own smart components, but are they complicating your life easier? Most smart devices should help you become efficient and responsive. Here are some El Paso home automation tips and tricks to make your smart devices work for your family.


Tip: Install Smart Locks To See When Kids Come Home From School

If your family is made up of school-aged adolescents, it's good to know when they come home from the bus. Use this El Paso home automation idea to get an instant notification when they walk into the door. First, lock and then program it to notify your smart watch and phone when they enter their private unlock pin code. Then give them a quick heads up through the 2-way talk feature on the indoor security camera.

Trick: Pair Up Your Smart Equipment

One of the neatest things about a smart home security system is linking all of your smart components with each other. For example, don't trouble yourself about remembering to lock your entry way when you leave for work. Instead, use your security mobile app to simply bolt your doors when your smart watch notices you left your driveway. You can also set rules where your alarms come on if your security cameras sense unusual motion or have your smart lights turn on the exhaust fan if your fire alarms go off.

Tip: Make Zones For Your Automation Devices

As a homeowner, you get how confusing it is to decode which breaker controls which area of your residence when they aren't correctly labeled. It's similar with your smart alarms and cameras. When setting up your smart cameras, you don't want to be confused about which light is active or which alarm or sensor is tripped. Getting a notification that the living room door has been broken takes the guesswork out of trying to understand which, say, a notification that window three has been broken.

Trick: Protect Your Deliveries with Home Automation

The theft of received parcells might be a typical annoyance. But, by installing a doorbell camera with your home security system, you can combat missing deliveries. You can program your home security system to send you alerts when your boxes are delivered, then automatically create a smart clip if the smart doorbell is tripped afterward. You could even program it to activate your smart light or utilize the two-way talk feature, so it still seems like you're home.
