Childproofing: How I created a safer home with smart home tech
With the help of a smart home security system, parents can be at ease knowing their kids will be safe. With this technology, parents can receive alerts on their phones if certain doors are opened. This can be done by applying a contact sensor to the door. You can even set an alert for if the door is left open for too long. These sensors can be placed virtually anywhere from doors to windows or even to drawers and cupboards.
Key Takeaways:
- A mom can’t rely on overhearing every plot, I realized. Even with mother’s intuition (and good hearing), I knew I was going to need some help to protect my kids from their own most audacious schemes.
- My daughter has a lot of energy and loves playing in our backyard—so much so that sometimes she doesn’t ask before heading outside.
- This way, instead of rushing around looking for her when I realize she’s not in the house, I can just glance out of the living room window and check that she’s okay.
