what is a SMART HOME?
According to smarthomeusa.com, “Smart Home is the term commonly used to define a residence that has appliances, lighting, heating, air conditioning, TVs, computers, entertainment audio & video systems, security, and camera systems that are capable of communicating with one another and can be controlled remotely by a time schedule, from any room in the home, as well as remotely from any location in the world by phone or internet.”

- Coming home late at night by yourself can be a little intimidating. With certain SMART HOME features, you have the ability to turn the lights on before you arrive.
- Being on vacation should be worry free unless you have a nagging feeling that you left the doors unlocked. No worries, lock them from the convenience of your phone.
- Away for the weekend and getting an alert that someone was trying to break in? Call the authorities, as well as, turn on the lights and the TV as a quick deterent with ease from wherever you may be.
