Living in beautiful Vero Beach on Florida’s Treasure Coast might be smart living in and of itself, so how does life get any better? Technology always has a way of allowing us to do things in a new way, and after a while, we wonder how we ever did without it. 

A case in point is smart home automation. You can automate many things (and go all out) with smart home systems, but sometimes the most satisfying things are the simple, routine things you deal with daily. So keep reading below as we outline several useful ways people use home automation for useful things that make life just a little easier and better.

Easier Awakenings

To paraphrase an old song, waking up is so very hard to do. A little automation can make mornings more bearable. Have kids? Your home automation system can turn on the lights in their room when you want them up. It might be a little harsh, but they’ll know it won't happen on weekends. If you don’t have kids, home automation can still help. Your system can ease you awake by raising your motorized blackout shades in the morning to let in the morning light and play a bouncy tune that you like to get you moving. 

Easy Entertainment

Many people are frustrated with multiple remote controls and inscrutable entertainment systems. Home automation integrates it all for you. If you’re ready for an evening show, pressing a button on your touchscreen or AV remote orchestrates your AV systems to all the right settings, closes your window treatments, dims the lights, and sets a comfortable temperature for your enjoyment. 

Keeping an Eye Out

What if the doorbell rings in the middle of the show? Your video doorbell triggers an image of your visitor right on the TV screen. Use your system to screen them and take the appropriate action. If it's your neighbor that is coming over to join you, let them in with your smart lock with just a tap or two on your home automation controller. 

Manage Your Home from Anywhere

One of the best features of home automation is the ability to control your smart home from anywhere. Forget to set the alarm or turn off lights? Do it with the convenience of a phone app with any internet connection. Need a package delivery secured? Communicate with the delivery person over your video doorbell and open the garage door remotely to have them leave the package safely. After it's all done, you can check that all entries are secure and turn on your security system.  

These are just four ways out of many that smart home automation makes life easier and more relaxed. Want to know more? Contact us here or send us a message below to get started with home automation today!
