How can Hive improve Peace of Mind?
Hive’s smart plugs can allow you to switch on or off any device from your phone whilst you’re out. This is perfect for those days where you’ve left the house and aren’t sure if you’ve left the straighteners on. It’s also great for popping the kettle on when you’re on the way back for a hot cup of tea the minute you get in.
Peace of mind can also be restored with reminders if you’ve left the heating on when you’re out, allowing you to easily switch it off from your phone.
How can Hive Improve Security?
We sell a range of Hive products that are designed to enhance security for your home, such as sensors for when you’re away that track and report any movement in the house.
Hive also have a range of cameras that can send notifications and live recordings straight to your device if unusual activity is detected. Plus, a subscription to Hive Home Shield with your smart alarm system can allow you to arm and disarm remotely, as well as capture any suspicious behaviour and store it for up to 30 days. If you view an intruder or any danger to your home, you can even call the police straight from the app for fast and fuss-free protection.
Hives indoor cameras can also allow you to use your phone to check up on and talk to pets and family that are at home - ideal for the days when you’re stuck working late and want to make sure everyone at home is ok.
It’s not only the cameras and sensors that can improve security, as Hives lights can even help too! The ‘Mimic mode’ available on lighting in your home can actually mimic your usual lighting habits by switching lights on and off in different rooms as you usually would. This can be a great deterrent for intruders whilst you’re away on holiday as it can give the impression that you are at home.
