Most current appliances are now equipped with WIFI access! I have the ability to program and handle our washing machine, dryer, refrigerator, oven plus sump pumps through an app on our cell phone! While wireless access is severely convenient, there are way too more than just a couple of apps.
I couldn’t keep up with the management of all of these smart appliances and systems, then between the smart temperature control, humidifier and Starbucks Coffee maker, I was always trying to organize everything.
About a year ago, I finally spent my money on a lake house automation system, however the luck is that all of the smart household technology is centralized into a single interface. I was able to incorporate the lights, sound plan and add a lake house security system. I’ve always wanted to improve the safety plus security of the house. We now have motion activated lights plus cameras situated around the outside of the house. If there’s any interest, I get a notification on our cell phone plus am able to watch real time footage. I know just what’s going on plus whether or not it’s a problem! Most often, I watch a video of the neighbor’s pet getting into our garbage can, however at least I think nobody is robbing our house. The plan includes sensors on the windows that set off the alarm if there’s any glass breakage. We have automated door locks that I’m able to control through our cell phone. I can check to make sure that everything is locked plus secure. Anyone who enters the beach house needs to put in the proper security code or the alarms sounds.
