This is when an integrated system is at its most productive. When you go on holiday you want many things to happen, the security system to arm, the heating to reduce to minimum settings and the lights, curtains and radio to act as if you are at home. If anything changes then it would be nice to get a text message or an e-mail. Maybe that message will include a picture of what has just happened if the alarm has detected movement. Essentially it's peace of mind, whether you want to save electricity, make your home secure or water the tomatoes when you're on vacation. The smart home can do all of this for you, and more and more cost effectively ever year.
