Convenience and Luxury
Perhaps the biggest benefit of smart home automation is the convenience of managing your home with little effort. Here are the top features to consider:
- Lighting Control
This might be the number one item to consider. Lighting control makes it easy to manage all your lighting via simple-to-use keypads, schedules, and apps.
- AV Control
Consolidating remote controls and making your audio and video entertainment simple to operate is a top priority.
Environment and Comfort
Having a comfortable home that’s always at the right temperature and well-lit is easy with the right features.
- Smart HVAC Control
Smart thermostats combined with distributed temperature sensors can precisely monitor your home and maintain the optimal temperature throughout the house.
- Motorized Shades and Window Treatments
Also incredibly convenient, motorized window treatments go above and beyond mere luxury. They help tame the sun in hot summers and can be programmed to let in just the right amount of natural light at every time of day.
Safety and Security
Smart home systems let you take a proactive approach to home security, keeping you in full control of your home and property.
- Video Doorbell
A video doorbell with a camera and intercom lets you screen visitors and know if your package was delivered.
- Security Cameras
Install security cameras inside and outside your home, and you’ll be on top of everything that goes on around your property. Your home automation system can activate or deactivate parts of it based on your preferences.
- Smart Locks
Know if a door (even your garage) is locked or unlocked, and lock it remotely from an app on your smartphone.
- Smart Sensors
Put water leak sensors under sinks, water heaters, or anything else where a leak would be a major problem. Smoke and heat sensors can alert you to a potentially dangerous fire.
Entertainment
Smart systems can also include sophisticated whole home entertainment systems, allowing you to enjoy any audio and video source anywhere in your home.
With speakers in every room and a single interface, listen to music, podcasts, and more in any or every room in the house – outdoors too.
- Distributed Video
Enjoy the luxury of calling up all your entertainment on any screen and speakers in your home. Every source is available everywhere, and you can play it in multiple rooms perfectly synchronized, all from one intuitive interface.
