Discover how your smart home security system can become the key to managing your home.
1. Simplify Energy Management
Do you often forget to turn off lights or adjust the thermostat before leaving home? With a smart home security and energy management system, this has become a problem of the past.

Control Your Energy Use
You can monitor and change the thermostat or toggle lights on and off from your phone — even if you’re miles away. For example, you can remotely control your appliances via smart plugs! No more wondering if you remembered to turn off your curling iron or straightener.
Personalized schedules enable you to automate energy usage based on your daily routines. You can even set partial lock-outs to avoid “thermostat wars.”
Automate Energy Savings with Geofencing
Smart thermostats and smart lighting controls allow you to adjust settings remotely, ensuring your home uses energy efficiently. For example, geofencing technology can detect when you’re coming home or leaving and automatically adjust the settings.
Monitor Consumption
You’ll even get reports on your monthly energy usage, helping you identify savings opportunities. Smart thermostats alone can reduce energy costs by up to 8% in heating and cooling bills. With heating and cooling reports, your system lets you stay current on your consumption habits while providing actionable options to adjust those reports as you please.
Whether optimizing lights or adjusting air conditioning, this home energy management system makes your home greener and saves money.
2. Prevent Flood and Environmental Damage
Some of the most costly home repairs stem from preventable problems like water damage or extreme temperature fluctuations. Your innovative security system handles this, too.

Flood Detection
Water Dragon sensors placed in vulnerable areas, such as bathrooms or kitchens, can alert you to water leaks before they cause significant damage. Real-time notifications allow you to address issues immediately.
Temperature Monitoring
These alerts can help notify of frozen pipes in the winter and help maintain a comfortable home year-round. Protection like this makes your security system a key addition to your home flood detection system.
3. Enhanced Property Awareness
A smart home management system keeps you connected to your home from wherever your schedule takes you. Besides offering safety, it provides insightful updates to help you manage your property.

Keep Tabs on Your Property
Stay informed about the status of gates, garage doors, or other entry points. Flex IO sensors can even monitor detached areas like sheds or bike storage, ensuring every corner of your property is secure.
Custom Notifications
Want to know when the garage door is left open? Or has someone accessed the gun safe or liquor cabinet? Your system can send instant updates for these key areas, so you always stay informed.
4. Control at Your Fingertips
Your security system’s app puts control of your home in your hand, creating seamless experiences throughout your day.
With the help of Siri or Alexa, your home has never been easier to control. The smartphone app offers a highlight reel to review daily, and you can add widgets to your home screen for even more direct, easy management.

Remote Access
Whether you want to lock the front door, adjust lighting, or arm the system, you can do it in seconds from your phone. Gone are the days of rushing home to make sure everything is secure.
With just a few taps on your smartphone, you can arm or disarm your system, lock or unlock doors, and grant temporary access to trusted individuals like maintenance workers or house sitters using smart door lock systems.
Daily Automation
Set customized schedules for convenience. For example, the system can ensure lights are off, doors are locked, and alarms are on when it’s time for bed.
With just a few taps, your smart home security system makes life smoother and more manageable.
5. Peace of Mind With Video Surveillance
A versatile home management system goes beyond often basic security. Here’s how video surveillance helps.

Keep an Eye on Your Family
Check-in on your kids, pets, or elderly loved ones with live video streaming from your cameras.
Instant Alerts With Recorded Footage
Capture motion-activated alerts to know when packages arrive or if there’s unexpected activity at home.
Some cameras even feature built-in two-way communication, allowing you to greet visitors or deter unwanted guests from wherever you are.
6. Caring for Elderly Loved Ones
Security systems can also provide extra support for elderly or young family members, helping them maintain independence while staying safe.

Medical Alert Integration
Wearable devices that allow immediate response in emergencies should be enabled.
24/7 Monitoring
Keep track of unusual activity patterns, like forgetting meals or skipping medication, helping you offer support when needed. It’s monitoring with care, tailored for your family’s well-being.
7. Doorbell Camera Features for Everyday Convenience
Your doorbell is no longer just a doorbell. Doorbell cameras are a powerful tool for communication and security.

Never Miss a Visitor
Get instant alerts on your phone when someone rings the doorbell — even if you’re not home. Plus, you can have complete control over where the doorbell ring will sound in your home. You can customize chime tones or silence them during quiet hours or in specific rooms. That way, an unexpected delivery won’t disrupt nap time or an important meeting.
Integrated Communication
Speak directly with delivery drivers or visitors via the doorbell camera’s microphone and speaker. This feature ensures you’re always in control, even when you’re away.
