Close the blinds, shut your doors, prepare the fans- Summer is coming!
It’s normal to have a love hate relationship with the seasons, right? We love Summer because of the long school break, the water sport activities, casual clothing, and patriotic holidays. But on the other hand… we might feel some hate towards Summer because of the long school break (parents, we understand), the sweaty laundry, the messy house, and let’s not forget the ever growing electric bill.
With all things considered, at the end of the Summer when the nights are getting shorter and school is approaching, we want you to be able to look back and enjoy the months of memories made inside your home. We are confident that a home automation system can help you do just that, so let’s dive into how & why!
Simplify
Often the easiest way to get frustrated is when the simplest things aren’t working. With a home automation system, the convenience of your on/off switches, volume control, security oversight, and daily tasks can all be controlled through your phone. Can’t find the remote? Not a problem anymore. All tucked in bed, ready to call it a night and forgot to lock the door? Got it covered! Settling down for a movie and forgot to switch off the lights? Done!
Cool down
In the Summer, if your house is empty during the day, you don’t want the air conditioning kicking on every hour, but you also don’t want to come home to a sauna. With a home automation system, you can utilize the program by controlling the temperature of your home every hour of the day. If you’ve got kids running in and out of the house, letting the cool air out- you always have a handy dandy “lock door” switch on your phone!
Balance
On top of helping you manage your air conditioning, a home automation system can help you manage your electric bill in its entirety. More children at home means more messes made, more lights left on, more videos games to be played and movies to be watched. You have the ability to check your electricity statistics throughout the day in order to keep a close watch on who and what is racking up your electricity bill!
So, open the blinds, let your kids run free, but definitely prepare the fans… because Summer is coming, and we have what you need to help you keep your cool. Contact us here for more information: info@symbioav.com or call us at: 713.780.4601

You get home from work, turn on the 6 o’clock news, and there it is again- another break in. Sometimes it is easier to just let the news of the world go in one ear and out the other, but then there are always those few and far between stories that really make you think, “Wow, that could’ve easily happened to me if…”. We are here to offer a home automation and security system that will prevent you from being unprepared in that kind of emergency situation. Here are a few reasons why we think having an automated home security system is going to make you and your family feel safe throughout the day and night.
- Protect your home and family from burglars. Your home is more likely to be scoped out by an intruder if they do not see any kind of security system present. The presence of a home protection system alone is going to decrease the risk of having a break in. For the intruders who break through the house anyways, the security system is going to notify the authorities immediately.
- Protect your valuables. Many of us keep our most valuable possessions tucked away or stored in a safe at home. With a home security system, you can monitor your possessions and always have video footage in view of your safe. The video footage can help catch the intruder’s identity, as well as identify what was taken in the case of a break in.
- Monitor your home. Having a visual eye on your home while you’re away is a great solution to many fears that homeowners may experience. You can log into your phone and view the footage from your strategically placed cameras around the house to prevent unexpected visits or even just to keep an eye on what the dog might be getting into when you aren’t around!
- Reduce your energy bill. You are able to turn up and down the air conditioning remotely, which is a great solution to some who suffer from dramatic temperatures rising and dropping throughout the day. Another great plus is having access to the lights from your phone! You can turn on the light before you get home at night, turn the light off if you forget, or even strategically turn on lights around the house to make it look look someone is home.
Symbio Solutions offers a security system with these features, and so much more. Your security is so important to us, we have created a privacy and security system that will turn all of your “what if’s” into “look what my Symbio System can do”!
