For quite a while, I resisted the idea of a home automation system, and i am not technologically savvy and have difficulty managing my smartphone.
I sad that the automation system would make it impossible for me to use any of my appliances.
I researched extensively before finally investing into a smart system. The reviews insisted that combining the operation of all electronics, appliances and systems into a single hub would make operation easier. I have been pleasantly surprised by the convenience. Over the past few years, every up-to-date appliances has included smart capabilities. The dishwasher, the washing machine, dryer, refrigerator, oven, sump pump and water heating system are all incorporated into a single hub. Everything is programmable, which saves a great deal of time and works to optimize energy efficiency. The lights are part of the home automation system, automaticall turning on in the night and only in those room that are occupied. The smart control component caters indoor temperature to my family’s schedule and preferences to minimize energy use and utility costs while ensuring comfort. I’ve included extra features into the automation system such as automated door locks that allow me to make sure the home is secure no matter where I happen to be. I can unlock the doors when the youngsters arrive home from school or for servicemen. Security features such as surveillance cameras, motion-activated lights and an alarm add a level of protection and provide peace of mind. There are sensors on the windows that detect glass breakage. Even our smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors are linked to the automation system.
