The Wired Solution: Benefits of Home Automation

Home automation is giving you remote or automatic control of all the things in and out of your home. From the lighting, security, heating, cooling as well as your entertainment work in harmony and can be controlled by hand held devices such as your smart phones or wifi remote controls. With a clever home automation, you can grab all technology in your home and integrate them into one intelligent package.

Why automate your home?

Convenience

Automation is all about convenience as well as saving time and effort by having your home programmed to automatically do routine functions. Imagine coming home with all your exterior and interior lights automatically come on as you press your garage door open. At the same time, your home anticipates your arrival and automatically adjusts the temperature to your liking even before you set foot inside your house.

Your home will know when to water your grass and will also consider if it has rained recently. It can automatically set the thermostat to economy mode, turns off the lights or dims it and arms the security system as you retire for the night.

It is also all about getting the most of your entertainment room. You can dim the lights, close the curtains, turn on the TV and DVD player and mute the phone whilst the popcorn popper starts. All you need to do is sit and enjoy the ultimate home theatre experience all with just a touch.

Another thing, you will never again miss birthdays, anniversaries or garbage day because your system will send you a message or call you in advance.

Security

Home automation is like having a top CIA agent watching your back. Once the alarm system is tripped all lights in your home will turn on into 100% brightness and your external lighting will flash signaling an SOS to your neighbours. The blinds and the curtains will also automatically open up to expose any intruder inside. If you are away, your system will contact you and your monitoring station.

In case of fire, your home will wake you up, shut down the gas and ventilation system, turn on a lighting path to aid you and your family to escape and phone the fire department right away.

Forget to arm your security? No worries. You can access your home from your phone or through the internet and arm it.

Savings

It is all about energy savings. With home automation, you can assign your home to regulate the operation of your lights, heater, HVAC system, entertainment equipment, appliances, irrigation system and other devices only when needed.

You will be amazed of the possibilities you can do with home automation. A touch screen with an integrated home controller processor can control a plethora of systems including being able to control all lighting, lighting scenes, curtains & blinds, ceiling fans, gas fire, air-conditioning, TV, AV equipment, pool equipment, security, CCTV, multi-room audio, water features, irrigation, entry doors and more. Home automation is virtually limited to your imagination.

However, home automation does not come out of the box. It requires extensive planning, design, installation and programming. Achieving the ultimate in home automation requires purchasing and installing the right home systems that allow for home automation integration.
