We’re all about having fun with your family. But how could you possibly enjoy yourself if you aren’t completely confident that your loved ones are safe-especially in your own home? These new devices can help put your mind at ease so you can get back to the good stuff.
WiFi Garage Door Opener (Chamberlain)
If you have a home security system, you’re probably set up to monitor doors, windows, and motion in various parts of your property. But what about your garage, which, for a lot of us, is the main way into or out of the house? Overlooked that one, didn’t you. Considering that most burglaries happen during the day, when no one’s home, a crook could break in through your garage and you’d be none the wiser ‘til you got home. A good first step to take would be to check that your door doesn’t have any weak spots or cracks in it that could make it easier to get into. Should you find it perhaps does need a repair, you could call someone like one of garage door repair companies in Houston to come out and do the work. If you have an electronic garage door, you can even more with it than you perhaps you knew. With Chamberlain’s WiFi garage door opener, you’ll get an immediate alert on your smartphone anytime your garage door opens. And using the free MyQ app, you can open (and close) the door remotely, which is great for those time when the kids “forget” their key for the 274th time or when you want to let someone in but don’t want him or her to have a key. These openers are designed to work with other smarthome technologies, such as Nest, and they connect directly to your home Wi-Fi network (although you’ll need a strong signal in the garage). Prices vary. Available at the Home Depot or http://www.chamberlain.com
