We have a dedicated team of home automation installers that understand the specific needs of Spring, TX, residents. We offer free, same-day installations so that you can be set up for the convenience and security you need as soon as possible.

AN ARMY OF PROTECTION ON YOUR SIDE
Why Spring Residents Need Militia Protection’s Home Automation
For Spring residents, you get to live just 25 miles away from Houston in an area with a rich history. There’s the vibrant Old Town Spring with some of the state’s most iconic Victorian homes. Firstly, with the very humid summers in the area, home automation provides your home with a respite from the mugginess.
This is especially useful for those trying to preserve older wooden buildings better, where the extra moisture will cause warping. With the simple use of a smartphone-controlled app, you can set your smart thermostat to a preferred climate and humidity level.
It’s also important to note that the average home size in Spring exceeds the national average. This means that if you zone your home’s climate, you’ll save money because empty rooms won’t need to be cooled or heated. Smart systems are more energy-efficient that way, and with the ability to turn off lighting systems remotely, you’ll have another way to save on utility bills.
Spring is also a community with very close-knit residents. With smart locks, it’s easy to provide friends and family with easy access to your home. You can grant access remotely or even distribute one-time PINs so that they can enter while you’re not around.
Here are a few other useful features of home automation:
- Remote Access: Every system in a home automation setup is manageable from a distance. When you’re on your way home from work, you can turn on the porch lights and start up the air conditioner. You can even unlock the doors from your car.
- Stronger Security: Our Z-Wave systems are very secure with two methods of encryption and a closed standard. With our home automation configurations, you can check the status of your entry points and use lighting to deter vandals/bad actors.
- Better Comfort: With smartphone access, you can manage systems throughout your home from the comfort of your couch/bed.
- More Energy Efficiency: With our Z-Wave systems, you can easily manage your power output and energy efficiency. Turn off lights and climate systems from our app when you’re not in specific rooms, and your carbon footprint will diminish.
Why Z-Wave?
As you might have noticed by now, the devices that we install for smart home systems are all Z-Wave-based. With most home automation systems, you’re going to need some underlying communications tech. In this regard, you’re typically going to see:
- Wi-Fi
- Zigbee
- Thread
- BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy)
- Z-Wave
Security
While all are viable options, when it comes to security, not every communications technology is equal. Here’s a quick breakdown of how these measure up against each other. For example, out of all the options, Z-Wave is the only one that works on a closed standard, which means that its protocol code isn’t alterable by outside users. Here’s a look at how each of the home automation protocols perform when comparing security features:
Penetration
All wireless networks broadcast using radio waves, and these are notoriously affected by building materials. For example, a concrete wall will easily interrupt Wi-Fi signals if you don’t have a mesh network to increase the signal’s range and penetration. Each of these technologies works differently when placed in different homes, but for our money, Z-Wave has the best penetration and range, especially compared to other technologies, which tend to work on higher frequencies. Here’s a quick breakdown:
