Smart light switches allow you to control lamps and other devices using a mobile phone or a tablet. You can switch on and off, dim the lights and even schedule them to turn off at a particular time. They can be controlled from anywhere in your house so you don’t have to worry about walking across the room to turn them off. Smart bulbs are basically LED light bulbs that you can be controlled from mobile devices. They can change colors as you wish and provide different lighting options.
Heating and Cooling Automation
In this case, you need smart HVAC units that allow you to control the temperature of your house remotely. This way, if you are not at home or sleeping, you do not have to worry about wasting energy by leaving the AC unit on.
Audio Automation
You can use smart plugs to play music in different rooms of your house or turn on surround sound systems with surround speakers that connect wirelessly to mobile devices. You can stream music services like Spotify and Pandora to these devices so you can enjoy hours of non-stop music without having the skip a single track.
Video Automation
The best way to automate your TV is through set-top boxes like Tivo and Roku. You can control these from mobile devices as well as from their remotes. They also stream content from services such as Netflix, HBO Now etc.
Security Automation
You can use smart door locks to keep your house secure instead of traditional door locks. These are connected to mobile devices so you can lock and unlock doors from anywhere in the world. You will never have to worry about forgetting your keys again.
Kitchen Automation
Kitchens are the heart of your house and make sure that you enjoy having friends over for get-togethers. You can use smart ovens/microwaves to cook food at the right time. For instance, you can set your oven to preheat when you leave office so that dinner is ready by the time you return home.
Living Room Automation
You can install smart TVs in your living room so that you do not have to get up to change the channel, play music or even switch on/off the TV. You can also use streaming boxes like Apple TV and Roku to stream content from services such as Netflix and Hulu, all controlled using mobile devices.
Home automation are not just about making your life better, but they are also good for the environment. Smart appliances do not consume as much power as traditional ones.
