Home automation may be described as a technology in which the various appliances and devices around our home can be networked together to offer a seamless control over their operation. While it has been around for several decades now in terms of lighting control and so on, the technology has only recently taken a massive leap towards a more interconnected world that can be controlled remotely by the users.
How is it ‘smart’?
An automated smart home is where an entire range of household components such as appliances, security, lighting, and HVAC can interact with one another to provide the user with a highly customizable and programmable experience. All of these devices can be controlled remotely from anywhere by means of a simple smartphone app.
Now, if you are thinking as to what makes this technology ‘smart,’ it is its inherent ability to learn from your past behaviors and the routines it has been exposed to. For instance, a smart thermostat can essentially register the heating patterns across the various zones of the house and customize itself to provide you with seamless comfort while maximizing energy efficiency.
What does it mean to you?
Some of the obvious advantages of installing a home automation system in your custom built home are that it allows you to optimize your energy consumption, minimize costs, boost security and offer a world of convenience for your entire family. Imagine leaving the air conditioner switched on and remembering about it only when you have crossed hundreds of miles to reach your weekend getaway! Or, having your kid locked out of the house while you are at work! Things happen. And, smart home automation helps avoid them from turning any more unpleasant than they already are.
Smart home automation not only allows you to control your home at all times but also provides complete peace of mind in knowing that your home is operating smoothly even when you are miles away from it.
