As the nights draw in remember technology can help with the smooth running of a secure home.   Smart bulbs can be set via an app to automatically come on at dusk to give the impression someone is in.   Just make sure they're compatible with any other smart devices you might have in the home - many - but not all - of the modern brands are inter compatible so you won't need a 'bridge' to connect to your router - but be sure to read the small print and if you've any doubt, ask the retailer.   Some will also work with a voice assistant so you won't even need to use your phone to turn the lights on and off.   There are smart outdoor security options too, like the Google Nest range of cameras and Amazon's 'Ring' doorbells.   Be sure to comply with privacy rules - you're supposed to put a sticker on your window telling people they may be on film and make sure any video or audio recording devices are set to only capture people who are within the boundary of your property.   Again, read the small print and follow the manufacturers instructions.
