Make sure your summerhouse is safe – even when you’re not there

Time spent at your summerhouse is probably one of the highlights of the year. It's a time to relax and tan at the beach or explore nature. What's not to like?

But what happens to your summerhouse when you’re not there? Have you made sure it is well protected so that you don’t encounter any unpleasant surprises when you head over there the next time? Not to worry – your frients are here to help.

Instant alerts and maximum protection

With the Motion Sensors and Entry Sensors from frient, a smart home can also function as a security system. If your summerhouse is unused, but someone tries to gain access to it, the system can immediately send you a notification so that you can alert security services.

And in the meantime, you can have peace of mind knowing that no news from your summerhouse is good news.

Don’t let a fire go undetected

Different fire alarms usually warn the user through a loud alarm tone. But if you’re not home to hear it, a fire can go undetected for too long and significantly damage your home. With the Smoke Alarm and Heat Alarm from frient, you get a notification via your smart home system on top of the loud alarm.

In case of fire, you can alert the authorities immediately and make sure the damage is kept to a minimum.

Keep your summerhouse nice and dry

If your summerhouse is located in a rainy region, it’s important to make sure the rain stays outside your home – you wouldn’t want to arrive at your summerhouse only to find your cellar or roof has been soaking wet for several days or weeks. The same issue might occur if you have older pipes or appliances that could cause water leaks.

The frient Water Leak Detector helps you detect leakages and flooding as soon as they occur. Get a notification on your phone, and you can take care of any leakages immediately.

Make sure your vacation home gets safely through the winter

When it’s cold and windy outside, you probably don’t want to spend time in your summerhouse. But letting it cool down too much and causing the air to become too humid can damage your home and your belongings.

With a Smart Humidity Sensor, you can make sure that both temperature and humidity are at a great level all year long. And if they fall out of the comfortable zone, you can let your intelligent heating system fix the issue.
