Home Automation Saves Energy and Adds Convenience
Home Automation is the process of automating your environment to easily control lights, security, entertainment, appliances, heating and cooling, communications and even lawn sprinklers and fountains.
The technology of automating your home and the ability to “call” into your system over a telephone landline has been around for many years. With wireless technology and more sophisticated electronics, an array of convenient control interfaces have exploded onto the current market. Now, you can remotely program and interact with Apps through your iPad, smart phone or computer as well as view your home through cameras.
Utilizing complex integrated solutions, some home automation systems (like the Omni line from HAI) give you the ability to program “when, if and then” commands that allow endless possibilities.
For example, when the system is disarmed, and if it is dark, then turn on kitchen lights to 65 percent. Another example would be if you arm the system and your garage doors are open, then they would close. If you add in “turn down thermostats by 10 degrees” during the winter months, several actions are performing at once with a touch of a button. The end result can be energy savings, convenience and an enhanced quality of living.
Home Automation systems meet virtually all size, sophistication and pricing requirements. For a “hands on” demonstration of how a home automation system functions, contact Atronic Alarms to set up a time to visit the showroom.
