Today, over 45% of all home renovations add “smart” technology during the process. These upgrades can be in anything from security to energy management to home entertainment. Virtually all of these upgrades can be controlled remotely via a smart phone or other device.

Security additions often include devices not just to monitor for break-ins, but also to check for gas leaks, carbon monoxide levels, and integrate with smoke and fire detectors. 36% of all home upgrades are security related.

Entertainment systems make up 26% of the upgrades. These programs can save on energy usage as well as provide content to any device, and allow that content to follow you from monitor to monitor around the house.

Climate and lighting control systems make up much of the remainder of renovations. These are apps that allow you to adjust heating and lighting levels throughout your home. This is very important in saving energy. It also makes it easy to have your house comfortable and waiting with lights on whenever you arrive home.
