1. Besides my security system, what else can an Alarm.com system manage?
Don’t let the name Alarm.com fool you, because this extensive security management provider does quite a bit more than basic alarm systems and surveillance cameras. Homeowners can manage their lights, shades, and even their irrigation system.
Why would an alarm company offer this integration, you may ask? Because if you’re away from home, having your lights off signals to potential burglars that you’re not there. The same train of thought applies to shades consistently being drawn shut for days at a time. Integrate shades and lighting to work in partnership with your alarm system. As you leave the house, press the Away button. A mock occupancy series of device responses will ensue - the alarm system is armed, and shades and lights act in a seemingly random pattern, so no one is the wiser on whether you or at home or not.
And why would you need to be able to manage your irrigation system? While you’re away, you may have a pipe burst or water heater leak. Integrating your Alarm.com system could potentially save you hundreds of dollars in damages. You’ll receive an alert if an incident arises, then you’ll be able to immediately shut off the system thanks to smart water valve technology!
