Homes Designed for Today's Technology

Chesapeake Homes knows that Smart Home features are important to today’s homebuyers when considering a new home purchase. That is why we strive to offer homes built with technology to automate your life while saving both energy and money every step of the way. Talk to one of our New Home Specialists and let them explain the benefits of our included mySMARThome package. From our Smart Thermostats and Light Switches to our Video Doorbell and Keyless Entry, Chesapeake Homes adds a sense of security along with money-saving and energy-saving features into every home we build. Not only do we strive to make our homes extremely affordable to own, but with our mySMARThome features, we make them simple and cost-effective to live in too!

The mySMARThome system includes a smart thermostat, light switch, deadbolt, and doorbell camera. You can control these devices manually, through a smartphone app. Our technology partner will set up an appointment after closing to activate the system and help you to customize all settings to complement your lifestyle. Some of the features which sets this system apart are:

"Scenes" offer the ability to control multiple devices with the touch of a button.
Geo-fence technology uses your smartphone's location to trigger actions for your smart devices.
Smartphone app is password-protected with the highest levels of encryption.
Smart devices do NOT rely on your wireless network. They use z-wave technology.
