How to incorporate geofencing with your Appleton home security
You’ll find numerous possibilities when operating geofencing with your home’s security. Before hooking up your system, considering precisely what you can program through your mobile device is a good idea. 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 depart. On the other hand, when you come home, you can take advantage of geofencing to open your garage door, unlock your front door, or illuminate lights.
You’ll be happy to have added convenience and potential utility savings along with enhanced security. Imagine being able to adjust your home’s comfort levels automatically according to your whereabouts. There’s no reason to operate your A/C or furnace at max effort when you’re not in the house. As an alternative, you can set it to automatically update when you depart and then go back to your normal settings upon your return.
There are quite a few components you can program with geofencing, including:
- Smart thermostats
- Smart locks
- Smart bulbs and plugs
- Garage doors
- Cameras
- Motion detectors
Want a geofencing alternative? Configure schedules and automations
Besides geofencing, many security systems allow you to set up automations and schedules. For instance, you may program your doors to lock or outside lighting to activate at particular times every night. You may even have several actions happen at once when you’re turning in for the night. Or you may set specific “If This, Then That” rules like deactivating front door locks whenever a fire alarm is triggered.
