What Exactly Is Home Automation?
Very simply put, home automation integrates modern technology
into your home to simplify your daily activities. Recent
improvements in various technologies, including security,
audio-visual, and wireless – once only available to governments and
the incredibly wealthy – are now available and affordable for many
people.
There are four excellent benefits to home automation: economy of time and money, safety, security, and convenience.
How would you like to…
• Go to bed and simply push a button that would turn off all the
lights, turn off any appliances you might have accidentally left on,
adjust your thermostat and water heater for energy savings, turn your
electric blanket on, and bring the bathroom light on at 30% just in
case you have to get up in the middle of the night and need to see
where you’re going?
• Put your house on a schedule so that you never had to come home to a dark porch or walkway, your house would be ready for you when you got home, and you could enjoy remarkable energy savings with no sacrifice in comfort?
•
Know that your smoke alarm would not only alert you, but would
automatically illuminate your exit route and open the doors for you?
• Or know that your house could protect itself from flood damage by automatically shutting off the water in the event that the water heater or washing machine sprang a leak?
• Arrange for your aging parents to receive auditory notification
when it is time to take their medicine or test their blood sugar, and
that you would receive a call on your cell phone in the event that they
forgot to?
• Make it possible for your loved ones to push an emergency button on their necklace or keychain that would automatically dial your cell phone and allow you to talk to them over the house's intercom in case they couldn't get to the phone?
With today’s home automation technology, all of these things are
possible. In fact, if you can imagine a task that you would like to
automate, it can probably become a reality.
The beauty of home automation is that you can integrate as few or as many features as you may desire, from a few lighting controls to a complete automation system. And any system can be easily upgraded as your needs change.
While this may sound expensive, this technology is actually well
within a price range that many homeowners can afford. Our systems will pay for
themselves with the savings from energy-efficiency, convenience, and
prevention of property damage.
Home automation will change your life! With the economy, safety, security, and convenience that our systems offer, this is something you can’t afford NOT to do! This is the future – Get onboard!
