WHY CHILDREN NEED SMART HOMES

As smart home technology becomes increasingly more popular, the benefits of it are becoming less of a luxury and more of a necessity, especially for parents. As a parent, you want to do everything you can to keep your children and your home safe. With a smart home, you can still all child safety worries, whether you're in the home or not.

There are 5 basic benefits of smart home technology for parents  that you might not be aware of.

Know Who’s at the Door
Have you ever noticed that peepholes are taller than the average child? With a smart home system, it’s possible to see who’s at the door without answering the door. With a video intercom system, you can see who's at the door through any of the touchscreens spread throughout your home. When the door rings, quickly see who's there, unlock the door and hang up the call with ease.

Be At Home Even When You're Not
Currently, more than 40 percent of children are left home alone at least part of the time, according to industry statistics. A smart home system ensures you'll be able to keep tabs on your children even if you are not home. Whether you want to know if someone has entered your home or if you have teens and want to know if they’re sneaking out, with smart home technology installed in your home, you will know. Various alerts can be sent to your smartphone to let you know if any door in your home has been opened. In addition, you can also see a real-time view of what your children are up to at home.

Emergency Situations
In emergency situations you may need to call an ambulance, the fire department or the police at any given moment. If your children haven’t figured out how to work a phone or they don’t know where one is, you can have a control panel that will auto dial emergency services.  An intercom can then be used to communicate with the first responder who is on the other line. In addition, you can integrate a preset function that unlocks all doors and flashes the lights in your house to help first responders identify you are at home.

Provide Fire Safety
A fire can happen at any moment and your sole focus in that moment is to keep your family safe. While you might already have the fire department on the way, there are steps you can take to keep your children and possessions unharmed. With a simple voice command, doors to certain rooms can be closed automatically as a way to cut off air circulation to try stop the fire from spreading and ensure everyone is evacuated safely.

Automate Household Appliance
A smart home will automate all sorts of tasks for you, too. This can simplify your life as a parent. If you have ever wished lights would come on when you arrive home so you don’t have to walk into a dark home with children in tow? Perhaps you'd like to have all TVs shutoff at 9pm if you're getting home late. The automation possibilities are endless.

SMART HOMES - HOME AUTOMATION

Smart Home - Home Automation. What do these terms mean?  Very simply, both mean the same thing; installing devices in your home that allow you to control appliances such as air conditioners, thermostats, drapes, lighting, a smart door lock and closed circuit video-cams, to name a few, from an application on your smart phone.

In other words, you can be vacationing in Hawaii or travelling through Europe with the ability to monitor your home for security reasons along with having control of your drapes, curtains, heating and cooling and many other actions at your fingertips. The TECUS system is available in in either just a WIFI mode or a combination of WIFI and 3G, the latter being cell phone compatible. 

Years ago, when the first home security systems were introduced into the home market, the devices were very limited in scope and hard wired. Today's products are for the most "plug and play" and fully transportable. Therefore, if you sell your home and buy another, your system is easily removed and installed in the new location.

The TECUS system operates through Z-Wave, a universal technology that has become the standard in smart home automation.
