As most frequent fliers and road warriors know, leaving your home behind during your travels can be stressful and worrisome. Fortunately for all of us, enlisting the help of some extra-smart in-home devices can take the nuisance factor out of prepping your house for your next trip. Here are a few tips on how to hit the road without worrying about leaving your home behind—to virtually run itself, we might add.
Let Your Devices Do Their Jobs
Remember KITT from Knight Rider? What once seemed like far-fetched movie magic can now be a reality in your home, thanks to an impressive lineup of smart devices that have been created to streamline your day-to-day. And if you choose a smart home solutions plan from Hive, you’ll be able to take your pick from an assortment of plans that include smart home gadgets—think cameras, sensors, lights, thermostats, and even more equipment to ensure your house is both safe and maintained while you’re not in it.
And Rest Assured They’ve Got You (More Than) Covered
Even if you do forget to turn off the TV or unplug the slow cooker, there are systems in place—and we’re not still talking about KITT from Knight Rider—to keep you covered. With a Hive Welcome Home plan, you’ll be able to remotely control your home’s energy consumption down to lights, plugs, and the appliances. And with a Hive Home Check plan you can keep an eye on your pets and know when the kids are home with handy sensors and a camera.
Always Come Home To An Energy-Efficient Smart House
With a Welcome Home Plan from Hive, you’ll be able to set the mood of your home to your liking so it’s perfect as soon as you walk in the door (literally—as soon as you walk through a door equipped with a Hive Motion sensor). Adjust the heating and cooling with a Hive Active Thermostat, set the lights with Hive Active Lights, turn on appliances like your coffee maker or TV with Hive Active Plugs—all from your smartphone, as soon as wheels touch the Tarmac.
