SMART HOME AUTOMATION

WHY YOU WANT SMART HOME AUTOMATION

Remember when you wanted to put your outdoor lights on a schedule, then control your climate system from your phone? Or lock the front door from your phone?  Those were the early days of home automation.  Today, it's very different. While it's possible to still do things that way,  a home automation system takes all of those individual apps and combines them into a single app, which can go on your phone or be controlled from an in-wall touchscreen or a handheld remote. This is the way it is today.

Why do you need one?  Well, aside from being very cool,  it simplifies daily life. You can get a text message or an email when somebody rings your doorbell. You'll also get a snapshot of who is at the door—that way you are able to remotely unlock the door and let the individual in, if that's what you wish to do. You can also not let them in and speak to them, from wherever you happen to be located.  Today, an automation system can control your climate and your shades. You can set up a schedule so that your shades will open at sunrise and stay open throughout the day, automatically closing them as the sun gets higher in the sky, or leave them open if it's a cloudy day. The tasks that a modern automation system can do are limitless, restricted only by your, and our, imagination!
