In this implementation, the control unit server 104a can set the parameters associated with “arming the home.” Specifically, the one or more parameters for “arming the home” may include no song to play, a volume level of 0 dB for the speakers 108a, an aperture of f/16 for the one or more cameras 110a, zero lumens for the one or more lights 112a, turning off a television, turning off a laptop, no fans, setting the thermometer to 67 degrees Fahrenheit, and fully closing the blinds of the one or more windows 118a. Additionally, the control unit server 104a increases the sensitivity associated with each of the one or more sensors 114a for the “arming the home” use case. Specifically, control unit server 104a may increase the sensitivity for the front door sensor, the garage door sensor, and the lock sensor by a predetermined factor so that smaller movements of the front door or garage door trigger an alarm event. For example, the sensitivity may be increased by a factor of five.
