As we enter the holiday season we cannot help but turn our minds towards home and family. In 2020 travel to your quaint hometown for the holidays might be different. Perhaps you plan to live stream your dinner with multiple families. Maybe you’ll share favorite recipes or send treats through the mail. If you do plan to leave home, be sure to remember the following things:
- Lock your doors
- Close your garage
- Arm your IQ Panel in “Away” mode
- Turn off all your appliances
- Set up your lights to automatically turn on throughout the day and evening to give your home that “lived in” feel
- Ensure your indoor, outdoor, and video doorbell cameras are working
- Make sure your flood sensors, smoke detectors, and Caron Monoxide detectors are working. (You may want to test your system!)
- Ensure your mobile app can connect remotely so you can view and control anything you “forgot”
Isn’t it wonderful to know you can manage any and all of these items remotely? We are truly grateful for the amazing technology that makes it all possible. Stay safe this holiday season, and don’t worry about your home while you are gone, we’ll take care of it for you!
