1. Silent Doorbells, Intercoms, and Smart Locks

The last thing you want after putting a baby to sleep is for your doorbell to ring loudly through the house. To help prevent your infant from waking up, use a video doorbell or intercom system to get a silent notification on your phone that someone is at the door. When your smartphone buzzes, you’ll know a guest has arrived to visit and then you can unlock the door right from there, or open it quietly for them. Of course if you see it’s a stranger using the video intercom, you can ignore the buzz.

Another way to eradicate the use of loud doorbells is installing smart locks. If your mom comes to visit the newborn, you can create a custom user code so when she arrives, she can just punch in the code and walk inside your house. Your baby won’t wake up and you’ll get to spend more time catching up with friends and family.

And if you’re watching a scary movie in your home theater, you’ll most likely want to at least feel safe.

As we roll in to a new year, there’s plenty to look forward to.

Not the least of which is the various ways we hope to improve ourselves.

But unless you were born yesterday, you know how hard it can be to keep your new year’s resolutions.

A common misnomer for homeowners considering smart home technology is that it will be too difficult to understand. However, good design and programming actually takes the hassle and guessing game out of the equation when it comes to your home technology. “We find that once we are able to meet with a customer and educate them by demonstrating the technology in our showroom at the Indiana Design Center, they leave realizing that smart home technology actually simplifies their life in all of the areas that they touch on a daily basis—entertainment, lighting and shades, security, climate control, and more,” says Jason Barth, CEO of The Premier Group. Barth notes three key ways that smart home technology can add ease to your day.

Motorized shades are often thought of as a luxury item. However, when compared to traditional window treatments, there are quite a number of compelling reasons why you should consider them for your home. They are offered in endless colors, patterns, and fabrics for both decorative and blackout shades. They can also be installed in a number of different ways depending on the end look that you are trying to achieve. Motorized shades can be hardwired for new construction, or retrofitted wirelessly into your existing home. The icing on the cake is that they can be automated to match your lifestyle and the time of day, whether you’re home or away. Beyond style and convenience, here are three key benefits to installing motorized shades.

Whether you’re home or away, with Intercom Anywhere you can monitor and communicate with any room of your smart home. Greet guests and allow them to enter even if you are running late, check in on your kids even if they aren’t answering their phones, observe and communicate with anyone who approaches your front door—with Intercom Anywhere you have peace of mind in the palm of your hand.
