Best Reasons To Switch To Home Automation

• Where we once had to wash dishes by hand,
  dishwashing machines are saving homeowners money
  by using less water. In a world where we are
  consistently focused on how our actions and lives
  impact the environment, smart homes can offer a
  measure of energy-efficiency that often has the
  potential to save money on lighting, HVAC
  management, and temperature control systems .
  Installation is becoming more accessible than
  ever, and the convenience of having second
  generation home automation devices like
  voice-activated speakers means that homeowners
  with accessibility issues can now focus on more
  important tasks, and let their home focus on
  running itself!
• Convenience is essential to us all in a world
  where our attention is needed in so many
  different areas. With home automation, we can
  make sure our homes are optimized to run
  efficiently without having actually to be in
  them. It is easier than ever before to remotely
  lock your house and garage, adjust your
  temperature remotely, and check in with the
  family to make sure everything is fine at home.
  With the additional connectivity, homes with
  automated security systems add another layer of
  safety and peace of mind for homeowners without
  breaking the bank. More importantly, adding
  multiple layers of home automation also further
  increases the value of your home.

The Benefits Of Home Automation

  want to make sure your child gets home from
  school okay or to make sure your house is safe
  when youre away, home automation can allow you
  to prevent problems by keeping you notified. You
  can even attach an alarm system to your phone,

The Benefits Of Home Automation

• Ease of access
• Do you hate having a cold bathroom when you get
  up in the morning? Do you not like having to wait
  five minutes for a cup of coffee to get started?
  With home Automation, you can set your bathroom
  heater or your coffee maker to turn on at a
  preset time, cutting down on micromanagement for
  tasks you do every day. It frees you up to do
  more important things as some tasks are completed
  for you.
• Fun benefits
• Do you have a large party in your home and want
  to turn the music up throughout various rooms?
  Would you like to dim the lights for a romantic
  evening with your spouse? Do you have a large
  dinner planned and want to start cooking a little
  earlier? With home automation, all these things
  can be done, and the fun can get started with a
  simple tap of a finger on a screen.

Home Automation Can Be Fun for Us All, But It Is
Great for the Elderly and Disabled

• Home automation could save the average person a
  lot of time, but it also has an efficient and
  extremely needed purpose regarding people with
  disabilities as well as older adults who would
  prefer to live in their home instead of ending up
  in a nursing home.
• There are health systems embedded in things like
  appliances and furniture that will collect data,
  which can then be obtained, analyzed, and used by
  medical professionals (and even family in some
  cases) to ascertain the health of the
  elderly/disabled person.
• As the industry expands and prices consequently
  go down, home automation is being installed in
  more homes of elderly/disabled people, which
  allows them to stay out of assisted living
  facilities and nursing homes. The process of
  moving out of ones home and into a long-term
  care facility can create a lot of anxiety. The
  home automation systems let the elderly and
  disabled remain in their homes secure in the
  knowledge thatshould something go wronghelp is
  just a moment or two away.

Home automation

• One of the newer areas of automation is cooking.
  Cookers are now using Wi-Fi technology allowing
  their user to prepare food from anywhere. There
  are also Wi-Fi controlled electric smokers.
  Baking scales are now available with a connected
  app to help newbie bakers get it right the first
  time.
• Many options are available for outdoors as well.
  Automated sprinklers can monitor over 10 zones
  and dont water the lawn if it is raining all
  controllable with the tap of a screen. Even
  handier are the automated mowers. Many can mow up
  to 20,000 square feet. The mower neatly mulches,
  so there is no need for raking or bagging of
  cuttings.
• Like the mowers, several devices offer automated
  cleaning. Robot vacuums and mops are becoming
  more popular and are also controllable by
  Smartphone. Have unexpected company coming over?
  No problem. Simply launch a cleaning robot
  remotely and come home to a clean house.

• Security companies have long been offering
  Smartphone apps to control security systems. Now
  its easy to integrate cameras to monitor, arm
  and disarm your home system remotely.
• It is also possible to control your homes
  lighting through smart technology. Not only can
  you turn the lights off and on, but now you can
  control the intensity and even the color of the
  light.
• The last piece of the automation puzzle and the
  single piece that connects all devices bringing
  us closer to a fully automated home are the
  controllers such as Echo powered by Alexa. These
  hubs are compatible with most of these automated
  machines and allow their user to control his or
  her home with a single spoken command.
