When I first looked into an automation system for my home, they were mainly intended for commercial application, however the systems were legitimately extravagant and not catered toward the needs of homeowners.
Several years later, when I once again researched automation systems, I was amazed by the progress.
This week’s systems are not only quite affordable however appealingly customizable and convenient; Investing into a smart condo officially pays for itself in energy savings alone, navigating the many amenities and possibilities was a bit overwhelming. There are all sorts of options that toil to simplify the management of the household, and every smart appliance is able to be incorporated into the system for easier programming, automated adjustment and reminders for repair; As I have upgraded appliances in my home, I’ve upgraded to smart options that can then be included in the automation hub; My washing machine, dryer, water heater, refrigerator, oven thermostat, sump pump, lights, sound system, dishwasher and Dunkin Donuts Latte maker are all accessible through my phone, ipad or tablet. I can arrange it so that the oven starts up at a particular time and that the lights turn on in particular rooms when I arrive condo from work. The temperature is always perfectly comfortable when I’m condo however is adjusted when the house is empty to conserve energy. I get reminders when it’s time to schedule annual repair for the A/C and heater, alerts when there is a power outage and helpful energy saving tips. I even have the sprinklers for the grass incorporated into the system. Having the automation system saves me a great deal of time and helps to minimize carbon footprint.
