Ensure Seamless Operations with 24/7 Remote Monitoring for Smart Homes

A smart home offers incredible convenience and a luxury lifestyle beyond compare. One tap on a designated touchscreen can change the lighting, shades, and climate in one room or an entire home. This same touchscreen reveals what doors are locked, let’s homeowners view their live security camera feed, and offers a comprehensive entertainment selection from choosing your favorite music playlist to the latest Netflix series. 

These home automation platforms and the systems they control carry tremendous responsibility. It’s one thing to experience trouble with your outdoor TV. It’s quite another to find your smart door locks not responding.

Fortunately, a smart home monitoring system can keep an eye on your connected devices 24/7, ensuring your home retains complete functionality and catching any glitches before you even know they exist. They're there for you should a problem occur, 365 days a year, any time of day. 

At Digital Home Systems, we’ve been committed to providing superior customer service and ensuring an exceptional client experience for over 22 years. To support us in this endeavor, we partner with Parasol, a leading remote monitoring service for intelligent homes. Let’s look at what they offer and why their services bring peace of mind to our clients in Greenwich, CT.

Automated Lighting Cuts Back on Electricity Usage

You may have heard about the latest smart home technology that transforms the lights in your home throughout the day, mimicking the light of the sun. Perhaps, you're interested in the ease of use and one-touch control that makes managing the lights in your home effortless. 

However, there’s another benefit, that’s not quite so well known. Did you know that home lighting automation can help you save energy, reduce your carbon footprint, and decrease costs? Let’s explore this aspect of smart home lighting and how it’s reducing energy bills for homeowners in Darien, CT.

Increased Insulation Takes the Load Off Your HVAC System and Saves You Money

Everybody’s noticed the rising prices at gas stations, increasing over a dollar per gallon in many places. But have you also noticed a higher energy bill? It may not be as obvious as gas prices, but the cost of electricity has significantly increased, making it more expensive to heat and cool your home. 

Summer is winding down in Rye, NY, and the surrounding areas, and the milder weather will give HVAC systems a rest. But winter will be full-swing before we know it, and energy bills will peak again as heating systems combat freezing temperatures. As prices rise again, one of the best ways to improve energy savings is to ensure your home is well-insulated. Lutron motorized shades can help you save money by not only insulating your home, but making it more convenient to manage the natural lighting within your home as well. Keep reading to learn more.

Make Sure Your Smart Home System Is Up to the Task of Controlling Your Home

Imagine waking up and tapping a button that raises the shades, slowly brightens the light to the color of the sunrise, and starts your “Good Morning” playlist softly streaming through your bedroom. Better yet, imagine all these systems responding automatically every day, welcoming you to another beautiful morning in Westport, CT.

That’s the power of smart home systems. They provide a single platform that controls everything, including your lighting, shades, audio-video systems, security, climate, and more. The user-friendly platform is found on a designated touchscreen in every room, on elegant in-wall keypads, handheld remote controls, and your smartphone.

Whether you’re upstairs in the office or around the world on a business trip, you can see what’s happening in your home, unlock the doors, control the lighting, and reset the temperature—effortlessly. That’s a lot of power and an enormous responsibility. And it's why we, at Digital Home Systems, partner with Control4.
