How to use geofencing with your Provo security system
When integrating geofencing with home security, you’ll find a wealth of options. Before installing your system, find out exactly what you can set up. There is a definite security boost as you can have your system automatically lock your front door, activate your alarm, and even bring down your garage door when you depart. On the other hand, when you come home, you can take advantage of geofencing to open your garage, unlock your main entrance, or switch on lights.
You’ll be happy to have added convenience and the greater potential for energy savings along with enhanced security. Just consider having the ability to adjust your home’s temperature automatically according to where you are. There’s no sense in using your A/C or furnace at full blast when you’re not in the house. Alternatively, you can set it to instantly adjust when you leave and then switch back to your normal settings as you return.
There are various implements you might operate through geofencing, including:
- Smart thermostats
- Locking systems
- Smart lighting and plugs
- Garage doors
- Video cameras
- Motion sensors
Want a geofencing alternative? Program schedules and automations
In addition to geofencing, many security systems permit you to set up automated tasks and schedules. For instance, you might program your main entryways to lock or exterior lighting to turn on at particular moments every night. You might even have multiple actions take place at the same time when you’re ready for bed. Or you can set custom “If This, Then That” rules such as unlocking your front doors whenever a safety alarm goes off.
