How to use geofencing with your Medford smart home
When integrating geofencing with home security, you’ll have access to a wealth of possibilities. Before implementing your system, find out specifically what you can configure. There is a definite security bonus as you can program your system to automatically lock your front door, arm your system, and even bring down your garage door while you leave. Conversely, when you return for the day, you can take advantage of geofencing to open your garage, unlock your main entry, or illuminate lights.
You’ll appreciate additional convenience and the opportunity for energy savings along with enhanced security. Just consider being able to alter your home’s comfort levels automatically in response to where you are. There’s no reason to operate your HVAC system at full throttle when you’re not in the house. Instead, you can have it automatically adjust when you leave and then switch back to your preferred settings as you return.
There are various devices you can control with geofencing, including:
- Smart thermostats
- Locking systems
- Smart lights and plugs
- Garage doors
- Cameras
- Motion detectors
Want an alternative to geofencing? Configure automations and schedules
Besides geofencing, some security systems allow you to program automated tasks and schedules. To illustrate, you can order your doors to secure or exterior lighting to turn on at specific moments each and every evening. You could even have a few actions happen instantaneously when you’re heading to bed. Or you might configure customized “If This, Then That” rules such as unlocking your front doors whenever a fire alarm is tripped.
