Home Automation: Control Your World With An Ease!

Posted by ilifesolutions on September 15th, 2014

Automating certain functions in your home can make it easier for you to manage and control the household, as well as secure it. Some of the best home automation systems with the highest ROI include centralised lighting, heating, air conditioning, ventilation, security, and entertainment systems. The goal of home automation is to increase your quality of your life, especially if you want to save time doing particular routine tasks at home. A well-installed home automation system also increases the value of your property and can even help you save energy.

 Home automation has become more popular in the recent years because of increased affordability and new developments, including enhanced control and management through mobile connectivity. If you are thinking about automating your home, you need to decide exactly what factors you want to automate so you can determine your budget, as well as what tools and equipment you may need. You can automate almost anything in your home, including: 

• Lighting – To make your house greener and more efficient, why not automate your lights so that they switch on or off on a schedule, or when triggered by particular conditions? Lighting automation can also mean remote lighting control. Now you can turn lights on or off in another room, wherever in the house you may be.
  
  
• Home Entertainment – Recreate the cinema experience in the comfort of your home. A home cinema provides you with advanced audio and video equipment and technology to recreate the experience of being in an actual movie theatre. The automated home cinema can also be integrated with lighting control, which can help you dim or darken the room automatically as the movie starts.
  
  
• Heating and air-conditioning – Make it easier to adjust the temperature no matter what the weather. A centralised HVAC system ensures that every room in your house receives ample heating and cooling while making power consumption efficient.
  
  
• Security – Do you find it tedious to go around the house to make sure that everything is locked and completely secure before you leave? Home automation lets you do this with a single click. You also have the option to remotely monitor the status of your home security through your smartphone or tablet.

The benefits of home automation go beyond convenience. Another advantage is added safety for the entire home and family. You can keep an eye on your home wherever you may be. Did you leave your pet or your child with a nanny? You can check on them anytime. Another benefit is that you can easily switch off the lights, heating, and other electronics in one go before leaving, so you do not waste electricity and you save money. Automation can cut heating and cooling costs, too.
