Smart devices have vacation modes and other settings to help keep your home safe while you're away for long periods. Here's what to do before your next trip.
You no doubt know the basics of home maintenance when you’re headed out for a vacation: Arm the security system, leave a light on so it looks like people are home, arrange for pet and plant care, and turn the thermostat down. But there’s an easier way to do it all automatically.
Program your lights Smart lights are easy to schedule, setting them to turn on and off at specific times. This feature is especially effective for making it look like someone is still at home. You can set the lights to turn on in the evening and off at night, or on and off throughout the day. Some smart bulbs and smart plugs come with a vacation mode that will do exactly that, otherwise, you can quickly set up a new schedule and disable it when you come home.
Prep your smart lock passes Smart door locks ensure you can lock or unlock your door regardless of your location. If you are going on a lengthy vacation, you may be more interested in another feature — the ability to create codes or passes that can automatically let others unlock your door for a specific amount of time. Consider creating these guest passes for house sitters, cleaners, pet walkers, plant waterers, and anyone else who may need regular access to your home.
