Automation
With advancements in technology systems can be programmed to function completely autonomously, or at a specific time based on customer specifications. Imagine pulling up to your driveway, and based on the geofencing from you smartphone, your garage door automatically begins to open for you, your garage lights come on, and your door unlocks! With geofencing, any number of activities can be programmed to occur based on the location of your smartphone. Motion sensors can be put in rooms or closets, so when you walk in the light turns on for a designated period of time, and turns off after you leave. If you're late for work and rushed out the door before turning everything off don't worry, once you drive away your TV, music, and lights will all turn off and your door will automatically lock itself!
Flood and fire protection is also available with sensors that automatically send a text or alarm to your phone if a steady increase of heat occurs, or a little bit of water touches the sensor. The possibilities are endless, and it all adds up to unparalleled control of your home or business.
