Smart Home Automation: Enhancing Your Lifestyle and Security

Smart home automation improves many aspects of owning a home and creates a sense of security. As a result, many homes (over 60 million in the US) are taking advantage of the multitude of benefits and conveniences of a smart home. Come explore how smart home automation devices can improve your lifestyle and security today.,

What smart home automation does for your home

On top of offering a greater sense of security, smart home automation devices can make life simpler and more enjoyable. Imagine being able to manage your home and set your schedule, with a few taps on a device that’s already easily at your fingertips.

Home comforts and features such as temperature, lighting, locks, and entertainment systems can be managed through a handheld device, so you don’t have to adjust each one individually for  your evening routine.

Smart home automation devices can communicate with each other so after you’ve set the rules, your house is automated, and acts as you want it to, when you want it to. This leaves you time, space, and peace of mind to focus on other things. 

Let’s say you spend thirty minutes each day completing menial tasks, such as turning off lights, turning the TV or the music on or off, locking doors, checking cameras, or adjusting the temperature. Not only does smart home automation give you that time back each day, when you consider the impact over the course of a year, those daily thirty minutes amount to over 182 hours.. That’s a lot of time that you now have to spend doing more meaningful, enjoyable tasks.

You may benefit from smart home automation devices if you: 


  • feel bogged down by menial tasks
  • want more time for what matters to them
  • value security and awareness
  • want to save on energy bills
  • want your home to cater to you
  • want to provide for your family

Real-life applications of smart home automation

One point of control

Instead of multiple points throughout your home to manage (thermostats, garage door panels, front and back locks, etc.) have everything connected to one handheld device for ultimate control wherever you are. Smart home automation devices are so convenient because they link what’s in your home to one point of control where everything can be addressed. Lock your doors from in bed. Check on your deliveries from work. Turn on the heat from outside.

Smart lighting

We tend to forget about lights during the day and we often don’t need many of them on, even when we're home. Just think about how many times you’ve left a room, forgetting to turn off the light.. Smart home systems can detect if you’re in the room (or home at all), and adjust the lights accordingly. You can even set the lights to change colours or brightness, depending on your mood and the time of day.

Smart blinds and curtains

You’ll no longer have to open and close blinds and curtains as you go about your day. Whether you’re home or not, you can set the blinds to open and close at certain times depending on where the sun is and how much natural light you want entering your home. And, of course, you can have everything close automatically when you’re away or it’s nighttime.

Reliable locking systems

This is a necessity for security. With smart home automation devices, you can lock and unlock doors at your discretion or have them set to lock and unlock under certain parameters. This means you can set them to let kids in after school or secure the house for the evening. When you’re away from home, consult your handheld device to ensure your home is secure.

Energy savings

Devote your fundsto other parts of life by saving on energy bills. Smart home automation allows you to time and control your home’s temperature, lighting, and appliances so they aren’t wasting unnecessary energy. Setting your thermostat according to your habits will ensure it isn’t running when it’s not needed. Controlling your lights ensures they aren’t on, wasting energy, when no one is around.

Home entertainment

Make your home experience and hosting more luxurious with automated home entertainment systems. Connect smart home automation devices to your lighting, music, and TV to control them all from one place and create the desired atmosphere.
