Lennar Features Schlage LiNK® Dynamic Technology Package in All New Homes in Emmens Preserve

July 5, 2011 - PRLog -- Lennar Homes is now the  provider of Schlage’s LiNK® Home Automation System, offering top-of-the-line technology that gives homeowners the ability to control elements of their home from a remote computer, tablet or smartphone.  With this cutting-edge technology, homeowners will have the ability to enable doors to be unlocked, see who has accessed their LiNK deadbolt locks, turn lights on and off, control the thermostat and view a live video feed of the home’s interior.

In the Myrtle Beach area, Lennar’s Emmens Preserve community will offer Home Automation as a part of its signature Everything’s Included™ package in all new homes, including current inventory and homes purchase pre-construction.  With a basic internet connection, this 12-month service package includes one light control, one thermostat control and entry lock control.  Home Automation upgrades including two additional light controls and a video camera are also available for an additional charge.  Homeowners interested in having access to this exciting, advanced technology can purchase a Lennar home in Emmens Preserve with Home Automation for as little as the low $200s.

The Home Automation System, developed by Schlage LiNK, is more than an exciting technology gadget.  The system saves homeowners time, energy and money with its mix of in-home and remotely controlled smart features.  With door locks that use numeric codes as well as keys, homeowners will no longer have to worry about being locked out of their own home.  Being able to enable doors to be unlocked remotely, homeowners can grant access to service providers such as the cable company or housekeeper without having to take time from work or other activities.  And because homeowners can add, delete and modify users and their capabilities at any time, never again will they have to get keys made for the in-laws or babysitter when they are visiting.  

In addition to convenience, Lennar and Schlage LiNK’s Home Automation System also offers an exceptional peace of mind.  While turning the lights off after leaving home can save on energy costs, setting a schedule to turn the lights on at night while being hundreds of miles away can make vacation more relaxing and stress-free.  Leaving your child home alone for the first time can give them a sense of independence and responsibility, but being able to check in on them via video link from your smartphone can help settle anxiety over such a big step.  Homeowners can also set up notifications that will send an email or text message when doors are locked or unlocked, letting parents know when their children have come home from school regardless of where they may be during their busy day.

“It is Lennar’s goal to stay on top of cutting-edge trends in homebuilding, and we’re excited to be the only national builder offering such an advanced technology solution to homebuyers in the Myrtle Beach area,” said Lennar Southeast Region President Sam Sparks.
