We all experience the stresses of Christmas shopping every year and are often faced with one major problem while trying to source the ideal gift for our loved ones, the painstaking process of trying to find a present that will both be appreciated and used.
If you or your loved ones are dreaming of a smarter and safer home this Christmas, Yale has an entire ecosystem of smart products that will help the entire family run their homes smoothly this holiday season and beyond!
What could be better than feeling the freedom of being key-free, while also enjoying a safer and more secure home? Let your family experience this joy for themselves by gifting them a Linus® Smart Lock this Christmas.
The Linus® Smart Lock is easy to set up and install and will blend in with any home. Imagine getting locked out of the house with the presents and the kids after Christmas shopping because you lost or misplaced your keys. It’s a scenario that's stressful just thinking about, let alone experiencing it!
With Linus®, managing home entry will not only be more secure and convenient, but the door will unlock the moment it senses your registered phone or smart device like an Apple Watch nearby, offering hands-free, keyless entry. Alternatively, it can be unlocked using a preset code and a Yale Smart Keypad. You can also check whenever your door is locked or unlocked using detailed access logs on the app.
Christmas is a busy time of year for any household. With so many people coming in and out of your homes to collect grandparents, grab food or toys from the car, or just head outside for some fresh air and quiet, you will want to know that your home is safe at all times. Linus® allows you to grant guests access to your home using a virtual key or code, so they can let themselves in if you are unable to answer the door. It's a fact of life, no matter how hard you might try to plan for the perfect day, inevitably someone is going to arrive late.
Thanks to remote door access, if there was a knock on the door just as everyone was digging into their Christmas feast, you could simply open your door using the app or preferred voice assistant to welcome guests without interruption.
Getting a flashy, expensive Christmas gift is always sure to leave an impact. But sometimes the best gifts are ones that can help to make these major presents safer. Always know when people have opened or closed essential access points to your home, such as gates or garage doors, and create smoother commutes by gifting your loved ones a smart opener.
The Yale Smart Gate and Garage Opener allows you to control and monitor any gates and garage doors already fitted with automation devices, without the need to use or keep track of a remote. So for example, if you know that your partner or loved one is getting a new car or home gym equipment that would be stored in their garage as a gift, you can help them to better protect these major purchases!
And if you’re looking to make the festive season run smoother, you can also create an automated commuting routine using the Yale Home app. This will open and close your gates and garage doors when you arrive home or leave, which is perfect for the many journeys that your family will be taking over the holiday break to visit various relatives or friends during the festive season.
With the smart opener, you can also instantly know when your access points have been opened/closed thanks to the detailed activity feed, making it the perfect tool for anyone keeping a watchful eye out for Santa on the 24th of December.
Does your loved one have any specific interests? Perhaps they’re an avid collector. Or, maybe they’re a neat freak keen on organisation and safety? If these traits are ringing a bell then the Yale Smart Storage range has a variety of devices that would be ideal for them this Christmas!
The Yale Smart Safe is an ideal gift solution for anyone looking to protect important documents, or treasured family heirlooms and jewellery this Christmas. The Smart Safe features a secure door that prevents tools from being used to open the safe and a locking mechanism with two anti-saw locking bolts. For added security, the safe’s alarm will go off after 5 incorrect entry attempts and lockdown for 5 minutes to prevent unwanted visitors.
The Smart Safe can also be opened using the Yale Home app, or using voice commands thanks to integrations with leading smart assistants such as Alexa, Google Home and Apple Home. So any avid collectors or amateur historians in your life can relax knowing that their most precious items are securely stored away.
Are you looking to find the perfect gift for someone who prides themselves on keeping an orderly, organised household? Or are you sick of having to deal with them getting annoyed when someone gets into their pantry and ruins their meticulous shelving system? Well, fear not! The Yale Smart Cabinet lock is the ideal gift to keep their drawers and cabinets off-limits to the rest of the family.
The discrete, ultra-compact lock can easily be mounted inside most cabinets and drawers to be completely hidden from view and is the easiest way to keep unwanted guests or children away from any drawers and cabinets in their home. The Smart Cabinet Lock allows you to use the intuitive Yale Home app to check any drawer and cabinet access history, with notifications sent directly to your phone, so you can see exactly when they have been opened. The Yale Smart Cabinet Lock can also keep any snacks bought for Christmas, such as Santa's cookies or delicious treats meant for Christmas dinner, safely away from the family until the big day. So you can maintain the magic of the season, and avoid the temptation to get yourself on the naughty list by treating yourself to the Christmas goodies early.
The Smart Opener, Linus®, and the Smart Storage range allow you to share virtual keys or codes with trusted individuals, like babysitters, cleaners, or family members, to grant them secure and controlled access to their homes, gates, safes, cupboards, drawers and doors. This can be done using the same code thanks to the Yale Smart Security Ecosystem powered by the Yale Home app, to avoid the need to share or remember multiple access codes. And if circumstances should change, then the code can be revoked for all devices instantly using the app. The smart ecosystem allows you to monitor and control the security of your home using one account from the palm of your hand for added convenience, to make the dream of a smarter, more connected home real this Christmas.
These examples are just a small selection of the many ways Yale smart security devices can make the perfect Christmas gift that will actively improve your loved ones' daily lives. Dream of a smarter Christmas with the help of the Yale Smart Security Ecosystem today!
