Simplifying the Smart Home – Alarmtech: Better Together

Homeowners enjoy peace of mind as they are able to monitor and control their smart home even while traveling.

Turning your home into a smart home isn’t as complicated as it may seem. Alarmtech makes it accessible and easy to manage, by bringing separate systems together to work as one unit.

You might already be partway to a smart home with a doorbell camera or thermostat paired with its phone app. The First Alert ProSeries system installed by Alarmtech connects everything to one hub so you’re not juggling apps and having to handle an alarm, locks, lights, thermostat and cameras separately. Z-Wave technology facilitates automation of these systems to turn on or off and adjust. An integrated system can also be connected to Amazon’s Alexa for the ease of voice control.

Imagine coming home at night and disarming your alarm system. With the push of one button, selected lights also turn on, heating or cooling changes to your liking, and, if you want, music plays as you enter. It’s the same when you leave, in reverse. Lights go off, the HVAC goes into energy-saving mode, and your home is protected.

Homeowners enjoy peace of mind as they are able to monitor and control their smart home even while traveling. First Alert VX cameras have smart motion detection, meaning they’ll concentrate on the important areas you choose and ignore activity like swaying tree branches. Sometimes Alarmtech can integrate existing cameras, resulting in further savings.

If safety, security and saving money via better energy management are important to you, visit alarmtech.ca/bettertogether to find out more.
