Home automation solutions are all about outfitting your home with the latest tech in order to simplify your everyday life. Advancements in technology have provided us with numerous conveniences. While some people may argue that technology has complicated our lives, there’s no denying that humanity has benefited from technological innovation.
What Exactly Is Home Automation?
A home automation system allows you to use a computer or a mobile device to control various aspects of your home. There are a variety of things you can automate in your house, ranging from simple to more technologically complicated solutions. You may already have a few automated gadgets in your home, such as programmable thermostats, alarm systems with remote access, and automatic sprinkler systems.
The most basic home automation products are outlet adapters, which allow homeowners to control a single fixture or appliance remotely; the most advanced products are whole-house systems, which can adjust the temperature, lighting, and window blinds according to a programmed routine—some systems can even respond to changing conditions such as the number of people in a room or the outside climate. Although reaching this level of automation in your house will take some effort (and possibly expert assistance), the return will be a level of convenience and comfort you probably didn’t realize was feasible.
We’ll go over some of the most popular home automation features that make your life easier below, all the products can be managed remotely with Smartify Spaces equipment like ALEXA, APPLE HomeKit, HEY GOOGLE & SMART THINGS.
Smart Home Thermostat
Your smart home temperature control system learns your patterns and acts accordingly with the right climate control appliances. A smart thermostat, on the other hand, automates your climate control and interacts with other smart devices like blinds and lights. Set schedules, use several modes for automated temperature management, lock temperature settings for certain zones, save energy, control your heating and cooling even when you’re not at home, and much more!
Smart thermostats work with ducted air conditioning systems and are made up of three main parts: One component is immediately plugged into the HVAC system, and it communicates with the second component, which is the thermostat control. The third component is a smart app that allows you to use the smart thermostat’s functionality.
Smart AC Control
A smart AC controller is a must-have if you have a ductless air conditioner. Any regular air conditioner becomes smarter with this climate control device. Smart AC controllers provide you the ability to operate your air conditioning from anywhere in the world with your smartphone. They allow you to manage temperature and humidity levels from your phone, among other things.
Geofencing, temperature scheduling, and automated temperature control modes are all available with advanced AC controllers. Using these modes, the controller keeps the temperature within a specified range, enabling you to attain the ideal environment at all times. Enabling smart features not only provides comfort, but it also helps save energy.
Basically, your standard air conditioner has all the capabilities and benefits of a smart air conditioner, plus more!
Smart Lightning Control
No more worrying about lights being left on while you’re away. Smart lighting control gives you the ability to remotely control all the lights in your home. This means that you can turn them off even when you’re away to save energy. With automated lighting at the touch of a button, you can also increase the safety of your home. You can have the lights come on at specific times during the day and night, so the house looks lived in even when you’re gone. Seeing lights coming on at night helps deter intruders and keeps your home safe.
Smart Blinds
Who’d have guessed that one day you’d be able to control your curtains with your phone, and that they’d open and close automatically based on the weather? Smart blinds allow you to control your shades with a single click, and automatic schedules eliminate the need to set the blinds many times throughout the day.
Light sensors are built into smart blinds, allowing you to control the blinds based on the brightness outside. When it’s particularly hot outside, smart blinds can help keep your home cool by closing halfway.
Routines can be created for Siri, Alexa, or Google Home climate control, such as rapidly getting up in the morning with the blinds automatically raised a little. Smart blinds also help you save money on your heating and cooling bills. They are powered by batteries but come with solar panels as well, so that you ‘don’t have to worry about charging batteries.
Smart Door Locks
A smart lock will transform the way you get into and out of your home, as well as making it much easier and more secure to let in visitors or service people like dog walkers or cleaners. You can ditch your keys – no more hiding it under the flowerpot – and instead use your phone, your fingerprint, or a code to get into your house.
You can also give this type of electronic access to others and revoke it when you no longer want them to visit (much less expensive than changing the locks). Smart locks can also connect with other devices in your home, such as lighting and heating, turning everything off when you leave and lock up, and then back on when you unlock the door and return home.
