3 factors leading to smart home growth


Do you often worry about whether you turned the lights off before leaving the house or if you remembered to lock the door? What if there was a way to eliminate all those worries with the press of a button? Here are three in-demand factors that have increased home automation system demand…

Increase Security Measures
It’s crucial to have protection for yourself, your family and your personal assets. With a home automation system you can safeguard your home anytime, anywhere! Smart home security is becoming incredibly popular because it provides remote access to your house even when you are not there. Control and monitor features, such as:

- Alarm panels
- Camera capabilities
- Carbon monoxide and smoke detectors
- Door and window locks
- Garage door openers
- Motion detectors

Alerts can be sent to you directly if there is suspicious activity or if alarms are triggered. Also, pre-set schedules can be programmed to arm or disarm security features at specific time intervals or when certain events occur.

Live a More Convenient Life
Wouldn't it be nice if you could have the perfect temperature set and ready when you arrive home? With geo fencing capabilities, you can control specific preferences such as adjusting home temperature, turning on and off lights and opening your garage door. Automation features activated once your smartphone reaches a certain proximity to your home, providing you with effortless comfort.

It is estimated that by 2017 there will be 36 million smart home units and convenience capabilities will only increase. Home automation companies strive to create systems that are not only tailored to consumers’ lifestyles, but also implemented in seamless, unnoticeable ways.

Save Energy
The average person spends a huge amount of money each year on energy costs. With the installation of a home system you can conserve electricity at your own convenience. Some household appliances that can be controlled remotely and/or automated to eliminate unnecessary energy usage are:

- Light fixtures
- Refrigerators
- Robot cleaners
- Thermostats
- Washers and dryers

The need for energy-efficient solutions is becoming a sought-after factor by homeowners. Would you buy a home automation system?

  1. As futuristic as a number of smart home devices may be, the market has generally lacked an all-in-one solution that was not only simple to use but just as easy to afford. Very few are affordable.
