Thanksgiving should be about family, food, and gratitude—not worrying about whether your home is safe, secure, or energy-wasting while you host. At CPSS, we know what it’s like when your door is swinging open for guests, the kitchen is heating up, and you’re trying to stay on top of everything. That’s why we bring smart home security that works behind the scenes so you can enjoy the moment.
Here are our top tips for a smarter, safer Thanksgiving—with CPSS backing you up.
1. Don’t Pay to Heat the Neighborhood
When guests come in and out, your home’s cooling/heating can work overtime. With a smart thermostat integrated into your CPSS system, you can use “auto set-back” functionality: when a door or window is held open too long, the thermostat automatically adjusts to save energy — then returns to normal once things settle.
2. Give Guests Easy Access — Without Losing Security
Hosting for the long weekend? With CPSS smart locks and guest codes, you can assign a unique entry code to each visitor. No spare keys. No scrambling. You’ll even get real-time alerts when someone uses that code.
3. Protect Against Holiday Fire & CO Risks
Large meals, extended cooking, deep-frying—the holiday kitchen can be a hotspot for fire or carbon-monoxide hazards. Your CPSS system can include smart smoke & CO detectors that notify you and our 24/7 monitoring center instantly if an issue is detected.
4. Keep Track of Who’s at the Door
With so many guests coming and going—or packages being delivered—you’ll want a smart video doorbell. See live video, talk to visitors via two-way audio, and even remotely unlock the door if you’re tied up in the kitchen. Integration with your CPSS system keeps it all seamless.
5. Avoid False Alarms While the House is Busy
Thanksgiving often means lots of motion—kids running, guests roaming, doors opening for food. With CPSS Smart Arming features, you can schedule arm/disarm times or allow automatic adjustments so your system doesn’t trigger unnecessary alarms.
