One of the perks of choosing an ADT home security system in Greenville is that you can sync it with home automation. Smart thermostats will make your house the perfect temperature and eco-conscious. Smart locks allow you to remote control your entrances. And you won’t forget that you left the garage door wide open again with an automated garage door sensor.

However, as convenient as these gadgets are on their own, they can have an even larger impact when used together with your home security system. Here are just 5 incredible home automation ideas for Greenville that will make your home much more responsive to your wishes:

Home Automation Idea #1: Put Your Home Down For The Night

Your nighttime schedule has become routine: shut off all the lights, lock the doors, change the thermostat, and prep your security system. However, how many times have you woken up to see that you failed to lock the side door or left the living room light glaring? And once you neglect to do one thing on your evening checklist, it's simple to forget it another night, too. Then before you know it, your forgotten checklist becomes a habit on its own.

But you can guarantee that your house is prepared for bedtime every night when you automate your nighttime ritual. Through your Greenville home security system, you can generate a scene that adjusts all your devices without you traveling room to room. With a press of a screen, you can secure the doors, shut off the lights, lower the thermostat, and set your security devices. Or don't worry about forgetting to touch a button. Program your automation to turn on at a specific time -- such as midnight.

Home Automation Idea #2: Go On The Defensive When You Go For Work

Along with a before bed routine, you can program your automation parameters to set when your house is not currently occupied. With your ADT Control smartphone app, you can place your house on guard through an easy button touch. Now you can be sure that every entryway is secured, every light is no longer on, the alarms are armed, and your cameras are activated. You can even batten down the garage door via the app if it’s accidentally left open.

You don't have to keep your living space locked up the whole day. Open the doors for returning visitors or service professionals with the mobile app. Or put your home on guard without even pushing a button. By setting a geofence around your home, your devices powers on each time you leave the driveway. Then when you come home, your alarms switch off, and your doors unlock when you come up to the house.

Home Automation Idea #3: Create Moods For Watching TV And The Rest Of Your Life

Leaving your house and putting your house to bed may be just one option on your home automation system. You can also form scenes for all types of moods. Tweak the lights just a smidge while lowering your motorized shades for the premiere movie watching experience. Illuminate a dimly lit aisle from your bedroom to the kitchen for a midnight snack.

You can devise a "party" scenario that automatically changes the lights and thermostat to adapt for the extra body heat. Then when a new visitor knocks at your door, you can inform them to enter via your doorbell camera. You can also select music and decorative lights to power on via your ADT Control app. And if you decide you need another cutting-edge piece of smart technology, you can seamlessly integrate it to your existing system.

Home Automation Idea #4: Get Notifications To Your Phone

Always stay in the know of what's going down in your house with automated updates delivered to your mobile device. Any time a motion sensor on a surveillance camera picks up abnormal motion, you'll hear about it via a text or push notification. Fire and safety sensors will send an alert so that you'll never return home to an unexpected emergency. Or have your smart locks alert you when your kids arrive home from school. Once you read a notification, you can judge how to act.

Communicate with anyone at your front door through the doorbell cameras to tell them where to leave a parcel. Check your outdoor cameras to judge if the strange activity is worth a phone call to the police. Or remotely turn on lights and music to frighten any unwanted interloper.

Home Automation Idea #5: Stay Safe During A Fire

While your home automation system can make you feel protected and comfortable, they will assist in a fire or other situations. Should your smoke detectors discover a fire, your home can dive into action! Set the furnace fan to automatically turn on and vent hazardous smoke. Then have it power on all your smart bulbs to show the way to safety, and unlock all the doors for emergency specialists.

In fact, you can calibrate automated reactions to numerous emergency events. Switch on all the lights when a glass break sensor triggers. Sound your high decibel speakers when the 2-button medical alert is used. Or get video clips sent to your phone when your smart locks trigger. Nearly all of your tech can be networked to function in tandem in any way you think will help protect your home and loved ones.
