Home Automation for Geo-Fencing in the Greater Pittsburgh Area
As a home automation company, we can’t recommend geo-fencing enough to homeowners in the Greater Pittsburgh Area. In addition to increased residential security, these home automation features can also increase energy efficiency and lower your utility bills!
-Location-Based Arming Reminders. These reminders will notify you if you leave the house without arming your home security system. Additionally, they can automatically arm the system for you and send a notification when that happens.
-Thermostat Automation. This feature will automatically turn your thermostat up or down when you enter or exit a specified “geo-fence.”
-Video Recording. If you scheduled a video surveillance installation, you can use this geo-service to automatically stop recording when you’re at your house. However, once you’ve left the geo-fence again, video recording will resume.
-Real-Time Alerts. This feature does exactly what it says: it sends you real-time alerts so you know what’s going on in and around your Northern Virginia home at all times.
Home Automation for Lighting in the Allegheny County
We have specifically designed home automation features that assist homeowners striving to manage their energy consumption. If you’ve ever left a light on for an extended period of time in an attempt to ward off criminals, you know how much energy and money you could be wasting. With lighting control, your home can seem occupied, even when it’s not, without breaking the bank. What makes lighting control even better, is that you can control these lights from the alarm.com app or platform and customize a schedule to fit your lifestyle! Each of the following can be integrated into a customer’s residential security system and controlled from a single app on a smartphone, tablet, or computer:
- Light modules. These can connect to any lamp in your home.
- Light plugins and light bulbs. These lighting control features can be installed with any type of residential or commercial lighting fixture that takes regular light bulbs.
Home Automation for HVAC Control in Pittsburgh & the Surrounding Area
At Icon Electrical Solutions, we also offer thermostats that can connect to your current home security system and operate on a customized schedule. You can also control these thermostats from anywhere in the world using a smartphone, tablet, or computer! Plus, you can set up alerts so you’re notified if anyone in the home or business changes the temperature.
Perhaps the most important element to these thermostats is the extreme temp alerts. If the temperature falls below a certain number or increases to the current temperature, you will get a text or email alert. Almost simultaneously, the thermostat will adjust to a more comfortable temperature for your home, depending on the current conditions. Unlike most thermostats, our smart home automation thermostats can either operate with AA batteries or through home wiring.
