The big holidays are just around the corner, and if everything is in order at home, you can enjoy your holiday in complete peace of mind. Discover products that can simulate your presence, keep an eye on your home and keep valuables safe. We hope you enjoy your holidays!
Timers
Using an app, use programmable timers for any street lamp or radio in your home. Presence simulation is used to deter burglars. So you can leave with peace of mind and enjoy your holiday by controlling the connected appliances from your smartphone.
Lighting
Thanks to an app, you can control the lighting in your home wherever you are in the world to simulate your presence. Using geolocation technology, the lights can turn off automatically when you leave the house or come on to welcome you home.
Remote monitoring systems
If you want to keep an eye on your home at all times and be able to leave it with peace of mind, there are some very practical solutions: remote surveillance systems consist of sensors, alarm devices or even network cameras. Thanks to a free app, you can monitor your home remotely from your smartphone or tablet. Door and window sensors, for example, automatically and immediately send you an alert on your smartphone when someone tries to force open a door or window in your home. The Piper home automation system is a complete solution that can be controlled directly from your mobile device. It consists of a video camera, ideal for both live and recorded video, motion and noise recognition, various environmental sensors and even a 105db siren.
Safes
Important documents, as well as jewellery, should be kept in a safe. In the key safe, you can store 4 to 6 keys and make them accessible to your neighbours. While you're away, they can, for example, come and empty the letterbox, water the plants and check that everything inside the house is in order.

Irrigation systems
If you can't find anyone to look after your plants when you're away, you can opt for a drip irrigation system. These systems are practical, as the plants only take as much water as they need.

To ensure that your mobile device also always has enough power to control your remote monitoring systems, you should always carry a mobile charging station with you. Many devices give you the option of restarting your car at the same time. You never know, a breakdown on the way to your holiday can happen quickly...
