Make your home safe on vacation with home automation 

When we go on a holiday, we have several doubts and mistrust about the security of our home: have I closed all the doors? Did I close the awning? Have I left the fire on? What if that package I’ve been waiting so long for arrives? What if they rob my home? In this post we explain how our home automation can solve all these concerns and guarantee your home’s safety during the holidays. 

How many times has it not happened that a summer storm spoils our holidays, making us doubt if we have left any windows open, if we have picked up the awning or if any window breaks due to the storm. With Censys home automation we can protect the home from the bad weather connecting our home to the weather forecast. Censys home automation works according to the situation: pick up awnings, lower blinds or automatic lawn irrigation according to the rains or temperatures. These are some of the automatic functionalities that we can control with a simple click from our mobile device. 

When we go on a holiday, theft is our biggest concern. To prevent theft, we can use the classic alarm systems and monitor our home through security cameras. But something that is very effective in preventing thieves from entering our home is home automation that creates scenes to simulate presence. Raising and lowering blinds is only the first step to simulate presence, but the most innovative way is to connect some of the lights in the home using a timer that turns on the lights in the morning or at night and even control those lights ourselves so that nobody is realize that this is automatic, with a timer. 

Another concern that owners often have when they go on vacation is if they have left a fire, device or the water on. Censys smart homes are capable of avoiding these domestic accidents through smoke detectors and thermal sensors. In this case, our technology is capable of alerting owners of these accidents, before it is too late. 

Finally, another case that occurs a lot is when we have been waiting for a package for several days, we go on holiday and the postman decides to bring it to us. Our home automation intagrates a video intercom through which you can communicate with the person who knocks on the door, to give them access to certain areas of your house, such as the garden.
