How to incorporate geofencing with your Stockton smart home
When integrating geofencing with home security, you’ll have access to a wealth of possibilities. Before implementing your system, considering exactly what you can configure through your cell phone app is a smart approach. There is a definite security boost as you can have your system automatically lock your doors, arm your system, and even close your garage door while you exit. On the other hand, when you return for the day, you can take advantage of geofencing to raise your garage door, unlock your main entry, or illuminate lights.
You’ll appreciate added convenience and the greater potential for utility savings along with enhanced security. Just think about having the ability to change your home’s temperature automatically according to your location. There’s no reason to operate your HVAC system at full throttle when you’re at work or on vacation. Instead, you can have it instantly update when you depart and then switch back to your preferred settings upon your return.
There are quite a few implements you can control with geofencing, including:
- Smart thermostats
- Entry locks
- Smart plugs and lights
- Garage doors
- Surveillance cameras
- Motion detectors
Seeking a geofencing alternative? Configure automations and schedules
Besides geofencing, modern security systems permit you to program scheduling and automations. For instance, you can set your entrances to lock or outside lights to turn on at designated times every evening. You could even have a few actions occur at once when you’re ready for bed. Or you may configure specific “If This, Then That” rules such as unlocking your front doors whenever a smoke detector goes off.
