It’s officially March, which means the first day of spring is coming up quickly! We enjoy warmer weather, flowers blooming, longer days, and all the great things that come with springtime.
Now while we all love the Spring, some things come along with it that may need a little extra preparation. The temperature changes are more drastic, the clocks have jumped forward, and the pollen makes allergies a real headache (no pun intended)!
Fortunately, you can get a step ahead of all these spring changes when your home has a smart home automation and security system. Check out a few of our automation products that can make your transition into the beautiful spring season so much easier!
Smart Thermostat
In the springtime, temperature changes can be drastic! In the morning, the temperature can be below freezing, and by the afternoon it is already up to sixty to seventy degrees. How can you keep your home temperature regulated with temperature fluctuations like that, especially when you aren’t home during the day!?
Lucky for you, smart thermostats come in handy to keep your home temperature comfortable no matter how much the outside temperature changes throughout the day. You can set schedules, change the temperature, turn on and off your system, and do so much more all from a few simple clicks on your smartphone! You can have the heat on overnight and in the morning to keep your family warm, and then schedule or switch it on over to cool once the weather starts heating up in the afternoon. I’m sure your furry friends at home won’t mind either! You can do all that right from your smartphone, making your life much easier.
Outdoor Lights
As we get further and further into spring and summer, the temperature stays warmer later into the night, allowing you and your friends and family to do more things outside of your house. When the sun goes down and it begins to get dark, you can rely on motion-sensored and smart controlled lights outside of your home!
Whether you’re hanging out in the backyard, or just taking the trash to the curb, you’ll be able to see where you’re going with automated lights. Plus, as the weather gets warmer, crime begins to increase, and automatic outdoor flood lights can be a great deterrent from break-ins and other activities.
Smart HVAC Controls
One of the few bad things about springtime: pollen and allergies. Between the sneezing, itchy eyes, runny nose, headaches, and everything else allergies bring… Having smart HVAC control is so important in the spring season! If your system is properly equipped with a clean air filter, simply turning on your system can make a difference in the amount of pollen in your home!
By cycling the air in your home, you are running it through your system, the air filter, and cleaning the pollen from your air. There are also other upgrades you can choose from that eliminate pollen and other allergens to make the spring so much more enjoyable in your home!
There are many other features of a smart home automation and security system that are helpful not just in the spring, but all year long! These include video doorbells, smart garage openers, smart locks, smoke and CO2 detectors, and so much more!
