All year round, you do your best to teach your kids the right way to behave.  And ninety percent of the time, they do great. The other ten percent… well; they’re trying.

And in those moments when life seems like a struggle, at least you know you can rely on your Smart Home technology to set them a great example.

We’re not kidding – just check out these admirable qualities:

1: It helps around the house without being told.

A smart thermostat can know your activity and adjust itself based on your schedule. This can save energy and money.

The smart thermostat is wirelessly connected to all of your sensors and devices, so it understands what is happening throughout your home. It even uses the weather and your location to save energy and maximize comfort.

The temperature can even be set from your smartphone, from anywhere in the world.

2: If you do need to tell it, you only have to tell it once.

Our smartphone app controls and connects all of your devices. The app can control your security system, smart thermostat, lights, locks, garage door, and more. You don’t need several smartphone apps in order to control your home.

You can use the app on your smartphone, your tablet, your wrist and even on your TV, giving you anytime, anywhere control of your whole home.

3: If something’s wrong, it tells you right away.

Your home has a lot to tell you. Now, thanks to Smart Home security, it also has a voice.

From fire alarms to teen parties, an Alarm.com-powered Smart Home keeps you aware of everything that matters, no matter where you are, through real-time text and video alerts.

Smart Home awareness is simple to manage. You opt into the type of alerts that are meaningful to you, and your Alarm.com system filters out the events that don’t matter to you.

4: Even if you left an exciting, forbidden cupboard open

Thanks to dramatic improvements in home security technology, the contact sensor can not only catch an intruder opening a door or window, this small device can also trigger smartphone alerts, turn your lights on, and even control your smart thermostat.

5: It always communicates well, and it always tells the truth

Video monitoring has many benefits. It can help you see what’s going on at home, review important events, and even catch an intruder.

6: And if there’s an emergency, it always does the smart thing.

7: It shares

To make smart decisions, you need the right information.

The same goes for the Smart Home, where connected devices act automatically based on your activity in the house. The better they can detect and make sense of your activity, the smarter their actions.

A genuinely Smart Home therefore needs a sensory system: a network of sensors to convey accurate, relevant and real-time information about what you’re doing.

8: It never opens the door to strangers

With so much activity around your front door, it requires smart home security technology to keep it secure but also convenient to access. With the Wi-Fi doorbell camera, you will be aware and have control of your front door activity.

The smart doorbell camera is integrated with your smart home security system, letting you know who is at your front door, no matter where you are. You can even have a two-way audio conversation with visitors through your Alarm.com app and unlock your front door’s smart lock from the same screen.

9: It’s very careful with water, and it’s smart around electrical outlets

Every year, water damage from leaks, burst pipes and broken appliances costs homeowners and insurers upwards of $9 billion . It’s responsible for 23% of all homeowner property losses annually.

Why is it so costly? Because there’s never been a good way to detect leaks right when they happen. With integrated water sensors, your system can detect leaks and send an alert notifying you of the trouble.

10: It doesn’t even make a mess on your walls

With a wireless security system, there is minimal drilling in your walls.

11:
It gives you a great night’s sleep, and in the morning, it helps you if you’re running late

The Alarm.com Smart Thermostat now has an even clearer picture of what’s happening around your home, enabling it to take smarter actions to maximize comfort and energy savings.

With our new wireless Temperature Sensors, it delivers precision comfort to the rooms where you spend your time, not just where the thermostat happens to be.

Now that you have temperature sensors in other rooms, you can specify which sensor commands the thermostat. This will keep your bedrooms at a comfortable temperature at bedtime.

12:  It’ll even remind you if you leave home without closing the garage

When it comes to protecting your home, you rarely forget anything important. But when it happens, our smartphone app has you covered.

With smartphone reminders, proactive protection and control from anywhere, our smarter home security technology means that even when your memory slips up, you can remedy a situation in seconds.

Your smartphone app can remind you to close the garage door if it was left open, secure your home in the morning when you leave the house, change your smoke detector batteries, and so much more.

13: On family trips, it travels well

Having smart home security gives you peace of mind. Knowing that when you leave the city, state, or country, your home is secured by a dependable security system that will alert you at any signs of trouble and contact emergency personnel in the case of a break-in.

14: On weekends, it helps Dad relax by not cooling the neighborhood with your AC.

“Were you born in a barn? Quit cooling the neighborhood! You think money grows on trees?”

Do you remember these old-school Dad quotes? And cringing as Dad reeled them off?

Just like Dad, we want to protect our families, homes and resources. Unlocked doors can let intruders in. Open windows make managing our homes more expensive with higher AC bills.

At least we can have it easier today, thanks to smarter home security technology. Smart home security can save you energy, time, and create convenience for the whole family.

15: It doesn’t cramp big brother’s style, and it helps keep an eye on the younger kids

With smart home technology, you will be able to keep tabs on your kids and their safety. Smartphone alerts can notify you when your child arrives home through smart door lock user codes, image sensors, and so much more.

16: It’s great with your pets

Smart home technology allows you to be aware of what is going on your home in order to help protect yourself and your pets from potential danger.

House fires is the one of the leading causes of damage to a home. Smart home security can make you aware of any life-threatening incidents and alert the proper authorities immediately.

17: And it even helps you with the new arrival

Now, the ‘smart nursery’ is a trend. Parents can get gadgets like wearable baby sleep trackers and “smart socks” with apps that monitor your child’s breathing.

What can really help you, though, is a smart home security system extended into your nursery to make it an even safer and more comfortable environment. This includes video, temperature regulation, and contact sensors to monitor activity.
