Can I install home automation technology myself?

• <div><p>Some pieces of home automation technology are DIY-friendly, but these are usually stand-alone pieces of equipment that don’t interact with other components. Plus, you may not be able to monitor them from a centralized mobile application. They’re more affordable and can still be great for automating parts of your home, but for full control over your property from a single app or website for easy monitoring and automation, professional design and installation services is best. Plus, these services typically boost your home value, so you’ll see a great ROI on them over time, even if they cost more upfront.</p></div>

Do these services improve my home's resale value?

• <div><p>Yes, these services often increase home value by preventing moisture-related issues and enhancing the usable space in basements or crawlspaces.</p></div>

Does a smart home increase property value?

• <div><p>A comprehensive smart home system can be really attractive to buyers and increase the value of your property. Components such as a smart security system, smart lawn and garden systems, and smart appliances can all drive up the value of your property.</p></div>

What are the disadvantages of a smart irrigation system?

• <div><p>Smart irrigation systems are more expensive than traditional sprinkler timers, and their setup can be effort-intensive for some homeowners. For instance, depending on the type of controller you choose, you may need to bury soil moisture sensors or install other equipment on-site that helps your smart sprinkler controller work. However, given their water and cost savings over time, many homeowners still consider a smart controller a worthy investment.</p></div>

Can a DIY security system qualify for home insurance discounts?

• <div><p>Yes, a DIY security system can qualify for home insurance discounts, as long as it includes key features like cameras, motion detectors, or alarms that effectively deter break-ins. While insurers often lean towards professionally monitored systems, they generally value any proactive measures you take to boost your home’s security. Just make sure your system is properly installed, and keep your insurer in the loop about its features and any monitoring systems you’ve set up.</p></div>

"The alarm, when it goes off, is very loud!!! This is a good thing. If we ever need to activate it, it will definitely scare off anyone trying to come into our home. We can set it off from our phone or from the keyboard control panel that we installed in our bedroom. We feel very safe with this purchase."

"I’ve had nothing but problems with SafeStreets. The installation was a mess—took hours longer than promised, and the technician seemed clueless about the system. When I called customer service, they were rude and unhelpful. The security system itself is glitchy and keeps going offline. Definitely not worth the hassle."
