3 Ways Home Automation Makes Life Better

How will you know when you're living your best life?

Efficiency

If smart technology has taught us anything, it's that automated features can make us more efficient. Think of your cell phone alarm clock, which can be customized to wake you up at various times on different days of the week. Thanks to this smart feature, you can set your alarms once and move on with your life.

In a similar way, automated home features are designed to help people get the most out of their energy consumption by learning their lifestyle habits and adapting energy consumption accordingly. As a result, smart homes can save up to 30-40% of energy! 

A classic example of how this works is good, old-fashioned heat monitoring. Whereas an old thermostat would kick on the air conditioning or heat when the internal temperature of the entire house reached a certain level, a house that's been set-up with a fully automated system would take it a step further by tracking when the house is occupied, when it's empty, and which rooms need to be kept at what specific temperatures and when.

Such automation home ideas allow both you (and your house!) to maintain maximum efficiency.

Security

We're not talking here specifically about automated security systems (although those certainly do make life better!) but about how generally safer your home life can be when your smart devices and systems are fully coordinated and automated.



Take, for example, the following scenarios.



• You're at the store but can't remember if you have coconut milk in the fridge.
• You're already in bed half asleep when you pop awake, wondering if you remembered to shut the garage door.
• You're halfway to work and can't remember if you unplugged your curling iron.
• You want to turn the music down but you don't want to walk all the way over there to do it.



All these scenarios (and more!) can be easily handled with a smart, automated home system. 



Everything from smart lighting solutions, smart kitchen appliances, smart garage doors, smart sound systems, and--yes, smart home security systems--can be fully integrated, automated, and easily controlled from anywhere in (or out of!) the house. 



No matter what frustrations or inconveniences arise, Control4 home automation helps set your mind at ease.
