Making your house smarter is as easy as adding a few appliances, gadgets, or devices to help you gain control through your smart phone or smart tablet. Taking your home control with you wherever you go can make your home safer and more secure. Using devices and services like local home alarm systems will give you more peace of mind when you are away. Saving time and energy can also make life easier as your smart devices do the menial tasks you don’t want to.
Wireless Locking Systems
One the most important peace-of-mind devices out there to make your home smarter is the Poly-Control Wireless Poly-Lock. The Poly-Lock lets you lock your doors when you realize you had forgotten to do so before you left home. With the app loaded to your smart mobile device, you can lock or unlock your doors when it is convenient for you. Now blundering around your front door with an armful of bags or boxes while you search your pocket for your keys is a thing of the past. With Poly-Lock, you can unlock your doors before you step out of your car.
Smart Environmental Control
One of the most important smart devices to install in your home is a smart environmental control system. Not only is it a money-saving device, but it’s a green one too. By cutting down on the heating and cooling of your home when you are away, your utility bills will drop as well as your impact on the environment. Another plus is that you don’t ever have to be surprised by the temperature you find in your home. Monitoring your home’s temperature and changing it freely is as simple as accessing your mobile app and selecting the right temperature.

Fire monitoring is also a feature offered by some home security systems.
