8 Purposes for Home Automation

8 Purposes for Home Automation

D.J.'s Painting and Remodeling has helped many customers make their home an automated one. While many may consider it a luxury, home automation serves very real and practical purposes. Here are just a few!

Security: Home automation will allow you to have a peace of mind when it comes to the security of your home. With features that allow you to be notified who is entering your home and when, you can safeguard your family against intruders. 

Safety: With a home automation system, you can program devices to remind you to take medication and let you know if your child's bedroom door opens at night. You can turn on lights before you open the front door and have remote access to unlock doors if an emergency arises and someone should need to enter while you are out.

Temperature Control: The climate in your home can be programmed to reflect the schedule your family follows. When returning from vacation, the thermostat will adjust to welcome you home.

Lights: We already mentioned that lights can be turned on before even entering the house, but they can also be controlled from the touch of a button from within. Have a lighted path on your way to the bathroom during the night or in the early morning hours before the sun is up.

Audio-Visual: Home automation allows you to listen to music from any room in the house and simply control the system from one device. With this, your tunes or talk radio can follow you as you complete the day's activities. An audio-visual system can become complex with devices, remotes to control them with, and the many systems and programming. Home automation can simplify all this onto one control device that makes it easy to access shows, movies, and programs. It can even dim the lights and close the curtains!

Convenience: Obviously, having control of your automated home from one device simplifies the many aspects and features of your home. It gives you peace of mind knowing things can be done quickly and efficiently from a mobile device or tablet when you need them done.

Information Access: A home automation system will also give you access to the web in your kitchen, living room, bedroom-anywhere! Look up recipes in the kitchen or access news articles from anywhere around your house. Pull up your address book and calendar anytime!

Insurance: One very practical purpose that home automation serves is quality control within your home. An automated system can notify you of water leaks or other issues in your home's systems.

Home automation can serve so many practical purposes within your home. It's worth calling to find out how it can help your home!
