What Is Home Automation?

Home automation uses customized programming and the latest technology functions to enable a home’s electronics and systems to communicate with each other. Homeowners can control these smart systems via a tablet, in-wall touchscreen, keypad, remote control, or smartphone. The systems controlled through smart home technology include climate, lighting, shading, entertainment, and security.

Your hot tub, pool, oven, refrigerator, and stereo are just a few examples of what you can manage inside your South Florida home. You can be at home or around the world on a holiday vacation, and you’ll be able to manage, monitor, and control your smart home system. You’ll experience incredible convenience, security, and improve the aesthetic of your home.

Convenience

Did your kids forget their keys when they ran out the door this morning? With one touch on your smartphone, you’ll be able to unlock the doors upon their arrival. Better yet, today’s technology has also created secure biometric locks that can let each family member into the home with just their fingerprints or a unique user code.

Would you like the spa heated up before you arrive home from work? How about getting the oven preheated so you can get dinner going a little earlier? All these actions and much more are possible with a smart home automation and control system.

A preset scene can even simultaneously initiate multiple systems with one touch of a button. For example, when you’re leaving on a weekend trip, tap the "Away" scene, and your doors lock, the security system arms itself, and the lighting and shades change throughout the day, giving the appearance of an occupied home. 

Security

Your smart home system can let you know when someone’s at your door before they even ring the bell. You can view visitors from your video doorbell and speak to them through the two-way intercom. Would you like them to drop off a package via your side gate? Simply let them know and remotely unlock the gate. Once they’re gone, you can lock the gate remotely.

Many people also enjoy coming home to a well-lit house. It makes them feel safe, secure, and welcome after a long day at work. Our certified technicians can make this possible through geofencing.

When your car makes its way into the driveway, your landscape lighting illuminates a trail of lights to the front door, and your front entrance and foyer brighten with just the right intensity and hue of welcoming light. When you walk in, you hear your favorite music playing, see a brightly lit kitchen, and view the outdoor landscape lights creating a magical oasis in your backyard.

Energy Efficient

We can program your home’s thermostat to adjust throughout the day, saving on electricity and reducing your carbon footprint. Your system can automatically turn down the heater or air conditioner when you leave for the day and start it up right before you or your family members arrive home. Through AI learning, your smart home gets to know your preferences and automatically adjusts the temperature accordingly.

We can also install monitors that turn the lights off when no one is in a room and turn them back on when someone enters.
