If you turn tv on at 7 most days and it remains on till midnight have your timer do the same. Even with lights switched on the tv being turned off can be a sign that this is an empty house.
* Get a neighbor to visit your home on a regular basis. Doors and windows being worked points out that the home is inhabited.
