Wouldn’t it be nice after a long day at work,to come home and after
entering your door, you press a button on your mobile phone and
everything in your house or apartment comes to life? Gone are the days
where you would have to flick the switch in every room, open the
curtains manually by yourself or even plug in the power cord and turn on
your radio. With the availability of modern technology of automation,
it will ease anyone’s life and minimize the amount of individual
household tasks one might do.In the old days, these kinds of automated
utilities require the clap of the hand to operate. However, nowadays,
they have taken a step further and have integrated automation technology
with other devices.
Why Home Automation Will Change Your Life
Getting started with home automation is not that difficult. Since the future of home automation system
is relentlessly being developed, there are many products made available
by a number of companies. These companies make products that will be
integrated in your homes and in individual household utilities such as
doors, lights, kitchen sets, sinks, garage doors and many more. The
possibilities are endless. One example would be you coming home and a
sensor in front of your door is activated using voice recognition. By
simply saying ‘open‘, your front door will open automatically
for you without you having to open it manually with a key and turning
the doorknob. From here, we can see that any home automation system is
extremely helpful in simplifying the amount of work we have to do on a
day-to-day basis.
How Not Knowing Home Automation Makes You a Rookie
Further examples of home automation system would be motion detectors, leak sensors for kitchen sets and washing machines, automatic curtain openers, light-dimming capabilities, television and stereo systems that power up automatically, as well as the ability to control multiple objects by using a single device. Motion detectors have the ability to send the user or owner an instant message or email, accessible via mobile phones, if an intrusion is taking place.
As for light, television and stereo
system control, the home automation system can program everything and
pair them together. The user has total control on how they want to set
up his or her house with just a simple click of a button. Imagine how
much time one would spend attempting to manually do all those things one
at a time.
If that is not enough, the home
automation system can open your garage door, transform an old light
switch into a ‘smart switch’ and even open your curtains when you feel
you want to spend some time under the sun. All is made possible by the
implementation of remote devices (controllers) paired with responders
that are installed to the desired objects. By using a special network
for home automation systems called a ‘mesh network‘,
a single controller is used to literally control every single device in
the house. One does not have to fear being out of range as each of
these devices is part of the ‘mesh network‘, meaning that even
if you are outside of your house and you want to, say, open the curtains
in your bedroom, the home automation system makes that all possible.
How Home Automation System Works
The home automation system is operated
by implementing controllers and responders. A homeowner can have up to
400 different objects in a house and link them together. The
availability of these automation tools is made available at an
affordable price. One does not always have to spend a lot of money on
home automation systems. In addition, starter kits are also made
available to the public. These kits are a good way to get introduced if
you are new to home automation systems. Best of all, this technology is
regularly being updated to make them universally compliant with other
similar products from different manufacturers. However, we suggest you
take a look at its compatibilities and make the right choice before
deciding on which start-up kit or system you wish to install.
Final Thoughts
With technology, everything has shifted
from manual to automatic. Nobody wants to spend a ridiculous amount of
time doing one thing after another. With the availability of these
unique automation technologies, no one has to go through the hassle of
getting off their chairs and opening a door or even a curtain for that
matter. Furthermore, it is also a good way to modernize our homes or
even impress our friends and relatives. Start using automation devices
today for your home improvement projects. It is not that hard to
implement!
