How to incorporate geofencing with your Bend security system
You’ll enjoy a wealth of possibilities when using geofencing with your smart home. Before implementing your system, determining exactly what you can program through your app is a good idea. There is a an undeniable security benefit as you can program your system to automatically secure your main entrance, activate your alarm, and even close your garage door while you leave. Conversely, when you come home, you can take advantage of geofencing to open your garage, unlock your front door, or switch on lights.
You’ll be happy to have added convenience and the greater potential for utility savings along with enhanced security. Imagine being able to alter your home’s temperature automatically based on where you are. There’s no sense in operating your HVAC system at full throttle when you’re not home. Instead, you can set it to promptly change temperatures when you depart and then go back to your ideal settings upon your return.
There are quite a few components you can control with geofencing, including:
- Smart thermostats
- Locking systems
- Smart bulbs and plugs
- Garage doors
- Surveillance cameras
- Motion detectors
Looking for an alternative to geofencing? Set schedules and automations
Along with geofencing, some home security systems permit you to set up schedules and automations. For example, you may set your doors to secure or exterior lighting to activate at designated moments each day. You might even have a few actions take place at once when you’re going to bed. Or you may set customized “If This, Then That” rules such as disengaging your locks whenever a fire alarm is triggered.
