Question #1: What Is Smart Home Automation?

When a device or home system is considered “smart,” it primarily means that it or its components are all connected to the internet.  These components can then all communicate with each other online – constantly reacting and responding to each other.

Your system works to make whatever you’ve programmed it to do happen without issue.  You can continue to incorporate multiple technologies and features into your system too over time.

Audio video features, motorized shades, security alarms – these are all examples of technologies you can include in your automation system right away or as time goes on.

“Automation” is a part of the term because your system doesn’t require you to push buttons or use a remote at all times to create an action.  Your technology will work automatically through sensors and schedules.

 

Question #2: How Big of an Investment is Smart Home Automation?

An upgrade of any kind to your home is going to be a cost.

However, smart home automation can reward you with convenience and comfortability in the years to come – and even directly save you money in the process by reducing your energy costs.  You can also start out small and expand your system later.

How many smart components you begin with is entirely up to you.  The system builds upon itself, so it’s always serving you and your needs no matter how many features you’ve included.

 

Question #3: How Do I Control the System?

With one smart feature or many, your home automation’s management shouldn’t be a hassle.  An expansive system doesn’t equate to a complex one.

There are a variety of smart devices you can use to operate it.  A remote, tablet, or your own smartphone are all options.  You can even use decorative wall panels throughout your home, that’ll blend seamlessly with your interior design.

With just a push of a button, your home’s control is at your fingertips.

Set scenes, schedule timers, and turn on sensors, so that even without your device in hand – your system can run and work automatically throughout the day until you’re ready to make changes of your own.
