Energy Management

Efficiency and Cost Savings

Managing your home’s energy consumption is equally important as its security. Saving money is the goal of all homeowners—and now you can remotely control multiple functions, such as heating and cooling, electrical and water usage, all from the convenience of a mobile device.

Taking control of these household elements through smart home automation enables you to save some cash while contributing to a greener lifestyle. Plus, you’ll no longer have to worry if lights and appliances were inadvertently left on or if you forgot to activate your outdoor security lights.

Remote Automation

Easily monitor all your energy management elements through Alarm.com technology. You’ll receive immediate benefits as soon as the app is downloaded so that you can remotely manage and control everything via one central mobile device—from anywhere in the world. 

When you implement a security camera that’s powered by Alarm.com, you’ll receive all the benefits of its accompanying app to monitor various safety, security, and wellness elements.

These can include, but aren’t limited to:

Thermostats & Temperature Sensors

Conveniently manage your home’s cooling and heating with pre-set temperature schedules remotely managed by you or a designated user of your choice—complete with a lock-out feature that prevents unauthorized usage. 

Smart sensors also adapt to extreme changes in weather patterns, automatically adjusting your thermostat’s settings based on external spikes or drops in temperature.

Smart Outlets 

The addition of smart plugs and outlets give you the power to monitor electronic device usage, while the app allows you to program for auto shutdown. Utilize this feature to control lighting for energy efficiency, electric bill stability, and added security measures.

Smart Lights

You can also connect lighting to your security system. Never worry about leaving lights on all day while you’re at work or out of town. Z-Wave LED light bulbs facilitate pre-scheduled times for lights to dim or turn on/off. Set an app rule for additional protection to activate smart bulbs should your camera detect outdoor motion.
