4 Easy New Year Resolutions for The Year

It’s that time of year again when everyone asks you, “What’s your New Year’s resolution?” If you’re one of those people who has no idea how to respond to this question, you’re in luck. We have a few resolution ideas for you that are sure to last throughout the rest of the year and beyond. Frontpoint’s products will help you stick to your goals with minimal effort, thanks to our smart technology. Here are a few of our favorite New Year’s resolution ideas:

1. Save more money and energy.

Saving money and energy is a popular resolution but not always the easiest to achieve. One surefire way to attain this goal is to take advantage of Frontpoint’s home automation features. For example, if you add a Smart Thermostat to your Frontpoint system, you would likely see immediate changes in your monthly bill and energy usage. This is because you’ll be using your heating and cooling systems more efficiently, which can make a more significant impact than most people realize. By creating a schedule of different temperatures throughout the day based on your lifestyle, you can stop using your HVAC system when you’re not home but still have a warm (or cool) house to come home to every night after work. Also, if you went on vacation and forgot to turn the heat off, you can do so right from your phone using the Frontpoint app. All these small conveniences add up over time, and soon you’ll find that this New Year’s resolution is way easier than most.

2. Reduce stress levels.

Smart technology can benefit more than just your wallet. This year, make a resolution to reduce stress levels and improve your overall lifestyle! Stock up on Frontpoint’s home automation products such as the Smart Door Lock, Outdoor Smart Plug, Wireless Light Control, and, as previously mentioned, the Smart Thermostat. These products can be controlled or scheduled with the Frontpoint app from anywhere in the world. Never again will you need to worry if you left lights or appliances on when you leave for extended periods; you’ll be able to see the exact status right on your phone, tablet, or desktop.

Frontpoint’s Smart Door Lock is one of the handiest smart home products you’ll ever own. Here are just a few benefits of the Smart Door Lock that will make your life a whole lot easier:

• You’ll never have to worry about forgetting your keys and locking yourself out of the house again! Unlock your door with the keypad OR your phone immediately.
• Forgot if you locked the door when you left? No need to head back home; just check the Frontpoint app to make sure you actually locked up. If you didn’t, you could lock it right from your phone.
• Keep track of your children by assigning them each their own access code, which will also provide you insight into exactly when they entered or left the house.
• Wish you could give your dog walker temporary access to your home without providing them a key? Give them an access code that only works during a designated time of the day.

3. Encourage the kids to spend more time outside.

Wishing there was a way to get your kids outside more but don’t have the time to sit out there and supervise all day? Fortunately, you don’t need to be outside to watch over your kids anymore! With Frontpoint’s outdoor camera, you can keep an eye on them while still working inside. You can watch live footage of your loved ones right from the Frontpoint app on your phone, tablet, or desktop. You can even get notifications if your kids go near an area you deem off-limits, such as a tool shed or vegetable garden.
