How to incorporate geofencing with your Cedar Rapids security system
When using geofencing with your home’s security, you’ll find numerous options. Before hooking up your system, find out specifically what you are able to set up. There is a definite security benefit as you can have your system automatically secure your front door, engage your alarm, and even shut your garage door when you exit. On the other hand, when you return home, you can utilize geofencing to raise your garage door, unlock your front door, or turn on lights.
You’ll appreciate extra convenience and the greater potential for energy savings along with improved security. Imagine being able to adjust your home’s comfort settings instantly according to your location. There’s no point in using your A/C or furnace at full blast when you’re away. Alternatively, you can program it to promptly update when you depart and then resume your preferred settings upon your return.
There are various devices you can operate via geofencing, including:
- Smart thermostats
- Entry locks
- Smart plugs and lights
- Garage doors
- Surveillance systems
- Motion sensors
Looking for an alternative to geofencing? Program schedules and automations
In addition to geofencing, many security systems allow you to set up automated tasks and schedules. For instance, you may order your entrances to secure or outside lights to engage at particular times each and every evening. You may even have multiple actions take place instantaneously when you’re ready for bed. Or you may configure customized “If This, Then That” rules like deactivating front door locks whenever a fire alarm goes off.
