Why a Smart Home is a Smart Choice

Increased Internet connectivity may have started with the smartphone, but it certainly hasn’t stopped there. These days, everything from crock pots to bathroom scales are “smart,” meaning that they’re available with advanced technology allowing them to connect to the Internet, providing users with an unprecedented level of information and control.

It’s no wonder that homes are now being built smart as well, with wiring and technologies in place to take advantage of the most cutting edge products on the market. While you no doubt know that a smart home can make your life easier, let’s take a look at other ways a tech-filled household can make things better.

Keeping Tabs

With a wide range of Internet-connected wireless security cameras now available, it’s easier than ever to keep tabs on what’s going on both inside and outside your home when you’re away. But that’s not where the wonders of smart home monitoring end. If you don’t want to invest in an entire security camera system, you could simply swap out your standard doorbell for a smart version. These easy-to-install devices include a camera that monitors who comes to your home when you’re not there. Some smart doorbells record comings and goings regardless of whether or not the button is actually pushed, while others only record when someone rings the bell. Most options send a notification to your phone when someone is detected and allow you start a conversation with the visitor – whether you’re sitting across the room or across the globe.

Keeping Your Home Safe

Installing security cameras that you can monitor is a good first step, but what if you want to take things to the next level? One option is to add a whole-home security system to your home. There are companies like Vivint and ADT that will install the systems for you, or you could go with a system that you can install yourself, such as the one offered by SimpliSafe or Frontpoint.

In fact, many security systems have additional sensors to keep your home secure from other threats. Connected smoke and fire alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, and flood sensors that alert you via your smartphone the minute something is amiss can help you avert certain disaster if a problem does arise.

Easing Home Maintenance

Many home owners find that it can quickly get overwhelming to try to keep up with routine maintenance. A smart home can help.

You can get a smoke detector that alerts you when it’s time to change the batteries or an add-on monitor like Filterscan that sends your phone a message when it’s time to change the filters in your HVAC system. There are automated sprinklers that water your trees and lawn when the soil is dry. You can even get leak sensors to keep you posted on small drips so you can fix them before they flood your home.

Saving Money

Not only do smart devices make life easier, but they can also help you save money, too. The most obvious examples are smart thermostats such as Nest and Lyric. They can optimize your heating and cooling by studying your home occupancy patterns and adjusting temperatures to the most efficient ones possible. But there are other ways a connected home can save you cash. There are refrigerators that let you know if you’ve left the door open, washing machines that can be programmed to work when energy costs are at their lowest, and devices that will switch lights and appliances off if you forget to do it yourself.

 Staying Healthy

There are a wide range of smart devices that can help you with your health and wellness goals: think connected scales, mattresses that track your sleep patterns, and thermometers that tell you the temperature of your food without having to open the oven door. All you need is a home wired for connecting to the Internet, and you’re good to go!

Redlands, Calif. – October 2017 – Lennar is excited to launch their Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ home design and new elevated Everything’s Included® package at The Grove, their Redlands-based community. Prospective homeshoppers and community members are encouraged to come out and experience life in a new Lennar connected home, which now offers home automation.

“We’ve known that smart home features are popular and in demand among today’s savvy buyers,” said Tara Conklin, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Lennar Inland, “Which is why we are thrilled to now offer it in our newly enhanced Everything’s Included® program, along with other stylish and valuable features, all at no additional cost!”

Lennar is the first builder to offer Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ homes, which meet the standards for strong, consistent connectivity throughout the entire home set by the Wi-Fi alliance, a global network. The process for creating these homes starts from the design process, where a series of commercial-strength Ruckus Unleashed access points are mapped throughout the home and then built in during the construction process. The result is reliable coverage throughout every square foot of the home.

Adding to the significant value that Lennar’s Everything’s Included® approach to homebuilding already offers — such as beautiful granite or quartz countertops, upgraded cabinetry and stainless steel appliances – buyers will now also receive a wide range of smart products from top manufacturers at no additional cost. These include smart climate control from Honeywell’s programmable thermostats, home security with the Ring Video Doorbell, reliable lighting control straight from your smart phone from Lutron, wireless music with a Sonos speaker, connectivity through Amazon’s Alexa, hands free front door locks from your smart phone from Baldwin and Kwikset, commercial strength Wi-Fi from Ruckus and seamless integrated control with Samsung SmartThings.

The Grove is an upscale community of new single-family homes that are now selling. It offers four distinctive floorplans with sizes that range approximately from 1,940 to 3,162 square feet. Lennar’s innovative Next Gen® – The Home Within A Home® floorplan is offered there, which feature an attached suite that has its own entrance, living room, bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette in addition to the main home. Prices in this community start from the mid $400,000s.

Visit the The Grove Welcome Home Center at 2025 Citron Court or schedule your tour by calling (855) 325-8478 and come experience the latest in home automation technology.

Amenity-rich, welcoming neighborhood

Lennar has a longstanding history of building homes of enduring quality in only the most well planned and desirable locations throughout the country.

September 2017 – When you enter the homebuying market, there’s a lot to consider such as how much home you can afford, where you want to live and whether a new home or resale home is right for you. Each of those factors are equally important when making your decision, and they’re also things that led Lennar to creating their signature Everything’s Included® program.

“We are proud to offer our signature Everything’s Included® program in every single home we build,” said Jeff Roos, Regional President for Lennar West. “The program has transformed the way people buy new homes and made the process easier, simpler and much more cost-effective because you know exactly what you’re getting from the start.”

A resale home can be more cost effective but will likely need serious repairs down the road, while the new home buying process can get pricey after all the upgrades, features and add-ons are worked into the home’s base price. With Lennar, you never have to worry about that last part — because the upgrades and dream features you love are all included at no additional price.

These features range and help add value to the home through elevated style, energy-efficiency and smart home technology. Stylish upscale countertops in quartz or granite per community, matching kitchen appliances and beautiful cabinetry all combine to create gorgeous gourmet kitchens that become the heart of the home. Efficient water fixtures, lighting and appliances create an overall more energy-efficient home. And, in select new communities, a whole new level of smart home technology from trusted brands comes as standard and offers the opportunity to live in an automated and well-connected new home.

When you buy a new home from Lennar, you can also expect a streamlined buying experience. Because they offer straight-forward pricing and a variety of home designs you never have to worry about losing your dream home in a nasty bidding war. Lennar also has established preferred lending and closing agents who know the behind-the-scenes process of buying a new Lennar home better than anyone else.

“Lennar does the research to find the features and finishes that today’s modern homebuyers seek. Then, we use our national purchasing power to include them into the base price of the home. So there’s no surprises,” Roos said.
