Home automation isn’t just for the ultra rich – it can enhance your life and make your house more comfortable, secure, and energy efficient. Whether you’re looking to turn on your lights from the road, stream music to a smart speaker using voice integration with Alexa or Google Assistant, say goodbye to forgotten light switches or high thread count sheets, or even mowing the lawn or answering the door remotely, these automations help streamline your daily tasks and give you more time to spend doing things you enjoy.
One of the best places to start is with a digital assistant or smart speaker like an Amazon Echo or Google Home, which will work with many off-the-shelf smart devices and can be controlled via your smartphone app. From there, you can add more automations with other smart products. For example, a smart plug can instantly add app and voice control to lamps, fans, and anything else you can think of that’s plugged in — just turn it on or off through the hub.
A smart thermostat will save you money on heating and cooling costs by turning on or off as needed based on your schedule. It will also adjust based on weather forecasts and other factors.
Smart indoor cameras will let you check in on kids when they come in from school or see if your dog is home after a long walk. Smart pet feeders can automatically fill your furry friend’s bowl and send you alerts when it’s time to feed him. And smart landscaping systems can monitor and adjust watering based on temperature, rainfall, or your yard’s water usage to maximize your garden’s health and reduce water waste.
A smart garage solution will keep your door from being left open while you’re away. You can even use your phone to close it if you forgot to lock it before heading out. And smart security systems will alert you to potential intrusions or even call the police when your alarm goes off while you’re away. Of course, you can also monitor your home’s safety from anywhere with a connected video doorbell or doorbell camera.
