Home automation is quickly becoming a standard in modern-day life, as we get used to the convenience of our smartphones, it makes sense that we use them to benefit our home too. With home automation, you can control the lighting, shading, climate, entertainment, and security of your home from an app on your phone or tablet. Below we look at the five benefits of home automation:
- Convenience – Save time. You can conveniently control your lighting, heating and electrical settings from your handheld device without leaving the sofa, or even when away from your home.
- Security – Increase the security of your home with electronically locked doors, video doorbells, and security cameras to ensure you’ve always got an eye on your home, even when it’s empty.
- Energy efficiency – Automatically turn off power-hungry devices when they’re not in use, and turn off the lights from the app on your phone. A smart home system enables you to easily see where energy is being used – which lights are on, and which rooms are heated, so you can remove unnecessary energy usage and save money on your bills too.
- Peace of mind – No more questioning whether you’ve left an appliance on, or locked the front door. Home automation gives you peace of mind that you can control everything from your smartphone or tablet.
- Entertainment – Home automation isn’t just about security and heating efficiency, it also includes audio and video integration too. Stream music wherever you are in the house, whether you’re cooking in the kitchen or relaxing in the bath, you can enjoy it seamlessly.
