How Does Home Automation Work?

Simply put, home automation puts control of basic home systems and appliances into the hands of the homeowner and provides access from a remote point such as a smartphone app.

With home automation, it’s possible to control aspects of your home such as the temperature, lighting and even home/business security systems with the touch of a screen, the swipe of a finger and even the sound of your voice.

Some of the many benefits of home automation include:

• Leads to a more energy efficient home
• Saves money and increases convenience
• More efficient home security
• Greater comfort
• Allows you control of your home even when you’re out of town
• Peace of mind
