How to keep your home safe while away for Christmas without splurging on electricity
The Christmas holiday season is usually a prime time for burglaries with intruders taking advantage of empty houses as people have left to celebrate Christmas at friends and family.
And especially this year, with high electricity prices, the concern for burglaries is even higher as many are expected to turn off more light than usual making it easier for intruders to go unnoticed.
But if you want your house to stay safe and you don’t want to spend a fortune on electricity, there’s a smarter way.
Have complete control of your lights from afar
By using smart plugs and smart cables connected to your lights, it has never been easier to make your home seem like you’re home when you’re away.
Set up light routines straight from your smartphone or turn certain lights on and off when you want from afar.
In general, using lights in or outside your home is still one of the most effective ways to deter burglars from trying to break into your home.
Want more security?
If you want to level up the security in your home, you can add smart motion sensors that detect motion and, if connected to your lights, can make the lights turn on to scare away intruders.
With the friently Motion Sensor Pro, you will know when motion has been detected even in the dark by an immediate notification on your phone.
For even more protection you can place the Entry Sensor Pro on your doors and windows and be alerted immediately on your phone if a door or window is opened or if someone is trying to remove the sensor.
This sensor can of course also be connected to your lights so triggering an entry sensor will surprise intruders with lights turning on.
By installing these smart devices in your home, you can not only prevent burglars from breaking in but also save on electricity by not having to have the lights on constantly to guard your home.
