Wouldn’t it be nice to have your home take care of your thing for you, automatically, without you having to lift a finger? You bet it would. This is the promise of Home Automation.
There are many different systems, especially in larger homes, that can benefit from being integrated. Some of these systems include security alarm, HVAC, audio/video & lighting. Home automation integrates together, enabling them to function more efficiently, improve functionality, conserve resources & enhance your life style.
That’s the name of game; an enhanced lifestyle. Everyone can benefit from a better life & modern electronic systems can help provide it. In addition, as the cost of resources continues to rise & the price of electronics continues to fall, home automation systems will prove to be more cost effective.
The combination of modern’s consumer’s thirst for convenience & increasing economic advantages will propel home automation more into mainstream
So what are some of the fun things a home automation system can do for us? Here are some common applications:
1) As you pull up the driveway you press a button on your mobile. The security system disarms & a path is lit from the garage to kitchen. Your favorite music comes on in the kitchen & family room. Five minutes after you arrive home the lights in your mudroom & garage hall turn off. 2) As you leave, you arm the security system into away mode using your mobile phone. Your lights turn off throughout the house, saving you from going around turning off different lights throughout the home. Your blinds close. Your music turns off. If you have forced air heat, it is set back. All from one button press. 3) Set whole for different events to include lighting, music, HVAC & security. 4) The holiday scene could run currently with other scenes & turn the Christmas lights on & play the holiday music list through the outside speakers. 5) Different lighting
