Intelligent Homes ? A New Emerging Technology

Posted by ilifesolutions on January 20th, 2014

Intelligent homes are possible now more ever, thanks to highly advanced wireless technology and other modern advancements. Smart homes with remote-controlled everything are no longer just found in sci-fi novels and films. Just take a look at the highly advanced security and alarm systems that protect many homes nowadays and you will clearly see the advances in home design. An intelligent home, however, is more than just a fancy house geared with security cameras and a foolproof burglar alarm system. It is a place where you are in control of everything, from the lighting to the temperature, to the mood music, and other entertainment options right from a single device and even while you are on the fly. Now that wireless and cloud technology has reached great levels of success, intelligent homes are not just emerging technologies, but a thriving industry.

Your home is your own castle and with the help of technology, you can make it an even more suitable and enjoyable place to live in. Security is one of the most important aspects of the home that you should consider when automating your own home. With a reliable video surveillance system and other high-end solutions like automatic locks, alarms, and coded access, high-tech security are no longer just a dream even for a simple homeowner like you.

Wireless automation is another advantage of intelligent homes, especially when it comes to entertainment. You can upgrade your devices to allow universal control from a single device or from the smart devices that your household members have. With wireless technology, you can control every aspect of your home from the temperature to the light switches, stereo, TV, garage door, fans, sprinklers, and almost every other home gadget you can think of.

One important thing to remember when building an intelligent home is finding the right company to set the system up for you, as well as the right tools to use so you won't end up with a faulty and frustrating system that bugs down every time. While these technologies are very advanced, you should also remember that they are not perfect, which is why you should find a company with good customer support, especially when it comes to your security controls. Like in most cases, the cheapest contractors are not always the best. In fact, choosing an intelligent home contractor based solely on low price might cause you to spend more money in the long run, as you pay for costly mistakes.
