Over the years I find the technology inceasingly helpful when traveling/away to: monitor the alarms/cameras (lawncare and pest control guys, etc.), adjust irrigation or temperature, allowing amazon garage delivery, open doors for contractors, close the Lanai blinds when a storm is approaching, cool down the home when returning, etc.
