I am amazed at how far technology has come when it comes to monitoring our lives. If you want, a system can even be controlled remotely from across the world while you are on vacation. We learned about all the possibilities when we installed our new security system last month. The list of items such as locks, lights, and even our heating and cooling system that could be set up and controlled blew us away. With the introduction of WiFi years ago advances in connectivity are amazing. We also have the advantage of voice controlled devices that enable us to check on the safety and warmth of our homes while at the office or just out running errands. This is especially important if you have varying schedules with children and other members of the family. It allows you to save on energy too by adjusting the temperature for times when the house is empty. Now, the concept of all this technology running your home or office can be overwhelming to many people and they may even consider it an invasion of privacy but for us it is perfect. Our salesman for the security system really surprised us when he told us that he worked closely with an HVAC dealer in town to incorporate full monitoring for homeowners. We coordinated appointments with both and we are very happy with the results of the installation of our security cameras and Smart thermostat. We love showing off our capabilities to friends and giving them the contact information for both companies that we worked with too.
