Stick to your New Year’s Resolutions with the help of Yale Smart Devices

The start of the new year brings with it the desire to start fresh and improve ourselves, and the main way many of us decide to achieve this is by setting (and in most cases quickly forgetting about) a list of New Year’s resolutions. A recent survey found that the most popular New Year’s resolution Europeans have set for themselves in 2023 is to be happier, other goals that were repeatedly mentioned included travelling more, getting fit, reducing stress, and spending less. However, sticking to these plans can be a tough challenge, especially as the weeks go on and our resolve weakens.

Tired of giving up on this dream version of yourself? At Yale, we believe the key to New Year’s resolution commitment lies with smart home devices! 

As the leading provider of smart home security technology, we have highlighted just a few ways our smart home devices can help you to achieve any of the goals you have set for yourself over the upcoming year. 

Make running easier with the help of a Linus^® Smart Lock 

Exercising more is a standard New Year’s resolution for people to undertake. However, the idea of committing to a gym membership or working out in front of others can be a daunting task, so taking up running is an easy way to achieve this goal! 

Running can help clear your mind, while also working up a sweat. But returning home to find your keys have fallen out of your pocket midway through your route is a nightmare scenario for any budding jogger.

Instead of spending your days anxiously searching the streets for your lost keys, why not kick the year off by investing in our Linus^® Smart Lock to explore the benefits of key-free access? Linus^® will unlock your door the moment it senses you near, offering hands-free, keyless entry. So you can switch on your music and enjoy your run, without worrying about how you’ll get back into your house once you’re done!  

Resist temptation with the Smart Cabinet Lock 

After overindulging during the holiday period many of us see January as the perfect fresh start when it comes to our diet and drinking habits. The new year is the ideal time to focus on your health, but despite your best efforts, the lure of leftover sweets or alcohol from Christmas is always there. Resist temptation with the help of our Yale Smart Cabinet Lock! 

Stick to your health goals by locking away unhealthy snacks and sweets in your cupboard using the Smart Cabinet lock! The ultra-compact lock can easily mount inside most cabinets and drawers to be completely hidden from view, so as not to distract from the overall design of your home and keep anything hidden away and securely out of view.

Use the Yale Access app to check drawer and cabinet access history, with notifications sent directly to your phone, to see exactly when specific cabinets have been opened. So you can track when and how often you go to grab a snack in an attempt to cut down on that behaviour, or see if anyone in your family who is supposed to be on a health kick with you has accessed the snack cabinet behind your back! 

Avoid overspending with a Yale Smart Safe 

Who amongst us isn’t tempted to go out and splurge after a long week at work? But unfortunately, we all know that our January paychecks need to stretch a lot farther than ones from even a month ago. Why not try to curb your need to spend by locking away your debit and credit cards in your Smart Safe whenever you go out?! 

The Smart Safe is designed to keep your valuable belongings safe at all times, offering you a convenient storage solution that allows you to remotely unlock your safe, know who has access to your safe, and share permanent or temporary entry codes with people you trust from anywhere in the world. All at the touch of a button on the intuitive Yale Access app.  

You can be sure that your card is not only safe from your spending habits but also from any tampering by outside influences, as our Smart Safe includes a secure door that prevents tools from being used to open your safe. The Smart Safe also features a locking mechanism with two anti-saw locking bolts for added security, allowing you to confidently store any precious belongings knowing that everything you own will be safe from harm when not in use. 

Whatever your New Year’s resolution may be, at Yale we have plenty of smart home devices that can ensure that daily life runs much smoother for you and your family, making it easier to achieve your goals and have a successful 2023!
