Tips and Tricks for Home Automation and Home Security This Labor Day Weekend

Labor Day – the unofficial end of summer, it is back to school, and it is time for parties, parades, and celebration. Labor Day is also about appreciating the services of workers to the economy of the USA. It highlights our contributions to the social and economic fabric of our country’s economy. As a day of rest for most workers, we should be able to do so in comfort and style.

You may be wondering what does home automation and security have to do with you enjoying your Labor Day weekend. Well, it is twofold depending on how you plan to spend the weekend. Here are some tips and tricks to make use of home security and home automation if you are enjoying the weekend at home or away.

Enjoying the Long Weekend at Home
As you make the most of this unofficial last day of summer with the fun stuff like barbecues, remember to be safe. Whether you are spending the weekend relaxing or working, do so with automated systems designed to make life easier. Automate your energy saving devices such as lights, thermostat, and blinds. Automate your access points with remote controls that you can let in guests without having to leave the backyard. Now, doesn’t that make for a more relaxing weekend?

Going Out of Town
Road trip!! As you head out of town this Labor Day, here are a few tips to make sure that your home is protected. During this period, personal property becomes a target to unscrupulous characters bent on seizing what they have not worked for. You have worked hard to afford the simple and exclusive things in life. A home automated security system will protect the things you love.

Timed lights : Leaving your lights on all day and night will be a beacon to criminals that no one is home. Lights scheduled to turn on or off at specific times during the evening/night are a more realistic approach to pretending that someone is at home and therefore deterring criminals.

Automated curtains/blinds : Open and close your blinds at pre-set times, to again give the appearance of being home.

Smoke detection & fire alarm : In the event of any untoward occurrences that might lead to a fire, with a smoke detection system and fire alarm, you can be notified in an instant. Or, if it is a managed system, the company can have firefighters there in no time.

Access controls : Just in case you forgot to close a door or window, home automation is there to save the day (and the trip) so that you can enjoy your time away from home. Coupled with an intrusion alarm system, you can keep track of access in and out of your home.

Security camera : With a home security camera which you can view remotely, you can monitor your home whether you are near or far. If you leave the pet at home, you can keep up with what and how he/she is doing.

This Labor Day, you can :
Leave your home secure with a home security solution designed for peace of mind
Enjoy your day with home automation solutions that will make relaxing so much easier.
