How secure are smart homes?


Tommie’s smart homes comes with a security kit proposal made up of a high end system that can connect to the smart home eco- system. Apart from the security system proposal, a smart home is designed to increase security of the home. First, smart intercoms and locks use biometrics to allow access. While the gate uses facial recognition, the locks use fingerprints to allow access into the home. If you force entry through a smart lock, it is able to raise an alarm and send notifications to the owner about the breach.

Secondly, a smart home uses a combination of sensors like human presence sensor, motion and contact sensors. These sensors are used to create automations for the home but also are used to monitor the home.

A smart home allows a homeowner to create activities at home that create the impression that someone is at home. These may include random turning on and off of lights, moving curtains and even playing music. This way a home appears to have someone all through a vacation period the owner is a way.
