Increased Safety and Security
Home automation systems can control security features like surveillance cameras, remote-access locks, motion-activated lighting, intercoms, and more on smartphones and tablets. Homeowners appreciate that they can check in on their homes while away.
Additionally, lights can be managed through a home automation system. The entryway lights can turn on before you come home to make walking to your home safer, avoiding a potential fall.
Improved Energy Efficiency
Intelligent systems pair with a variety of sensors and climate control features. For example, homeowners can establish preferred temperatures in their homes to save electricity. While away at work during the day, they may allow the temperature to rise to save energy. But as the time nears for them to return home, the thermostat can adjust back to a more comfortable temperature.
In addition to climate control energy savings, homeowners with intelligent home automation systems use light controls to ensure that lights are turned off around their homes when not in use. Dimming technology can also reduce lightbulb energy consumption.
Greater Convenience
Every day, homeowners manage hundreds of small tasks. Think about the free time you’d have if you eliminated 20 of these tasks from your daily routine. You'd no longer have to worry about turning off lights or locking the front door, and your coffee could start brewing ten minutes before you wake up. These small conveniences can add up throughout the day and save homeowners time.
Improved Comfort
A home automation system can be paired with climate controls, as mentioned above, and help to keep your home at a comfortable temperature throughout the day. Motorized shades are also popular technology to protect furniture from sun damage and avoid glare on television or computer screens, and they can be fully automated.
Entertainment
All your entertainment components—such as TVs, stereos, video games, and more—can be connected to a home automation system for control and remote consolidation. With a whole-home system, you can enjoy audio or video throughout your home, controlled by a single device.
