How to use geofencing with your York smart home
When incorporating geofencing with home security, you’ll discover a wealth of possibilities. Before installing your system, finding out specifically what you can configure through your app is a smart move. There is a definite security boost as you can program your system to automatically lock your main entrance, arm your system, and even close your garage door as you leave. Conversely, when you return home, you can utilize geofencing to open your garage door, unlock your main entry, or switch on lights.
You’ll enjoy additional convenience and the opportunity for utility savings along with improved security. Just consider being able to alter your home’s comfort levels instantly according to your location. There’s no sense in running your HVAC system at full throttle when you’re at work or on vacation. As an alternative, you can set it to promptly update when you exit and then resume your normal settings when you return.
There are quite a few implements you can control via geofencing, including:
- Smart thermostats
- Locking systems
- Smart lights and plugs
- Garage doors
- Cameras
- Motion sensors
Want an alternative to geofencing? Set schedules and automations
In addition to geofencing, many home security systems permit you to configure schedules and automations. For instance, you might set your main entryways to lock or outdoor lighting to engage at designated times each and every night. You may even have several actions occur at the same time when you’re going to bed. Or you might program custom “If This, Then That” rules like unlocking your front doors whenever a fire alarm is tripped.
