What you can automate
- Smart door locks. Unlock the door for a visitor remotely, give the pool service or a house sitter their own code, and check that every door is locked.
- Smart thermostats. Set a specific temperature while you are gone, or cool the house down before you get home.
- Lights. Have your lights ready when you arrive home after dark, or on a schedule while you travel.
Everyday examples
- A delivery or visitor arrives. See them on the doorbell camera and unlock the door from your phone.
- You are heading home in July. Drop the thermostat from the app so the house is cool when you walk in.
- You get home after dark. Lights come on before you pull into the driveway.
Key point: automation and security work best together. Arm the system, lock the doors and set the thermostat with one tap when you leave.
