Home Upgrades: Smart Locks + A Connected Home

With the changes in the Windsor real estate market, more and more buyers searching for houses for sale in Windsor are finding the buying experience a bit better. They have more selection of Windsor homes for sale and can be more patient when looking for what they want. For sellers, this means putting in that extra effort to make your home stand out from the rest. Just recently we previously discussed the importance of lighting and how it can tie into a smart home with smart bulbs. Today we will look at another way to set your home apart with another technology based upgrade to make it a smart home.

Smart locks are a great addition to any home, and more and more buyers are looking for smart home technology. Smart locks allow homeowners to ditch the key. You either access the home via a fingerprint reader or via connected smartphone. With smartphone connectivity, you can even remotely lock and lock your door. Pair that with another piece of smart home technology, a video doorbell, and now you can see who is coming and going from the home, or even let people in from your phone. If security is a concern, the newest smart locks are considered “unpickable” or in this case “unhackable”. They are basically tamper proof with new technologies. If you do not want to replace the whole lockset, there is an option for that as well. You can retrofit existing deadbolts into smart locks. That means all the hardware remains the same, but on the interior of the home you add connectivity to have that deadbolt open and close at your command. This also means you keep your physical key in case you prefer that style. There is an option for everyone and tied in with connectivity plus a video doorbell your home entrance will have full remote access at the touch of a button.
