Benefits to Home Automation
Security
Tap your finger to turn on the lights when you get home so you aren’t worried about what’s hiding in the shadows, or in your pathways. Or automate to turn on when you aren’t home to look like you are to ward off potential robbers. Door locks are another automated home product that can increase your home security.
Worried that the kids didn’t lock the doors before they ran off to play? Or that someone will discover your not-so-secret hiding place for the extra key? Take control of your home safety from a simple app. With some products, you can even get an alert every time someone enters your home.
Energy Efficiency
Increase your home’s energy efficiency by remotely powering off systems and appliances when they aren’t in use. In addition to the standard home automation products that give you active control, some products actively monitor systems and arm the homeowner with knowledge, insight and guidance to achieve greater control and energy efficiency. ComfortGuard is a 24-hour monitoring service for heating and cooling equipment that can predict and even prevent breakdowns. It also includes personalized monthly reports to help homeowners track equipment performance, reduce excess energy usage and improve efficiency.
Savings
Home automation literally pays off. When you are able to use home systems and appliances only when needed, the savings will be apparent in the first utility bill. No more wasting money on lights left on when you aren’t home, or spending money on gas to drive home because you forgot to lock the door. Monetary savings are apparent, but you’ll also be saving time. No wasted trips home, no running through the house turning everything off, no time spent worrying about what was or wasn’t turned off.
Convenience
Don’t you hate having to rely on neighbors to watch your house when you’re gone? With home automation, convenient control of your home is at your fingertips. You don’t have to trust someone else with your most valued possessions.
Comfort
Ever leave for work in the morning when it was a comfortable 68° outside only to come home to a sweltering house because the temperature shot up to 90°? A connected home product like the Sensi™ Wi-Fi Programmable Thermostat lets you conveniently adjust your home temperature from the mobile app so your family is always comfortable.
Peace of Mind
One of the biggest hidden benefits that comes with home automation is peace of mind. No more worrying if you turned of the lights, locked the door, or turned off the television. For people who have a lot on their plates, being able to easily check these items off the to-do list and stop the obsessive worrying, home automation is reassuring and definitely worth the investment.
