The world all around us is going high-tech with every passing day. Manufacturing companies are switching employees for robots, in the streets self-driving cars are making an entry, and at home smart automation systems are becoming more popular. As you plan your build, think about just how smart you want your home or commercial property to be. After all, you don’t want to be left behind as everyone else embraces technology. Below, check some of the most basic home automation systems that you should have.
Security alarm systems
Security is probably the most important factor at home. Through modern security alarm systems, you can make your home and different aspects of your property safer. Modern security alarm systems are multi-faceted and will cover various threats lurking in your home. Working wirelessly, these systems will monitor unauthorized entry via your main door and windows. The systems will also monitor smoke, CO2, and humidity levels in your basement. Plus, you can get alerts on your phone or change passwords remotely.
Central air conditioning systems
Modern air conditioning systems allow you to control heating and cooling all round your home from your control panel. The control panel can be mounted on your living room wall or it can be a portable, just like a tablet device. Ducted air conditioning systems, for example, will enable you to select specific temperature settings for various zones in your home or even turn others off. You can even create an automated thermostat schedule that dictates what temperature each room will enjoy at set times of the day.
Surveillance systems
Automated surveillance systems are also becoming the norm in most homes today. These enable you to keep an eye on your home through your phone or computer, no matter where in the world you are. They are a favorite among parents with children and nannies back at home. Through these systems you can keep track of your family, your furniture, your cars, and any ongoings around your property.
Sprinkler and gardening systems
If you’re like the many homeowners who love a lush lawn but do not like doing the watering, these automation systems are just what your need. They connect to your water pump and sprinkler system and water your garden or front lawn without your input. You can even program them and set when the sprinklers should come on and for how long. These systems are great because they’ll keep your grass green even if you’re away for the weekend or on vacation.
Robot vacuum systems
Another helpful home automation system that you can buy is robotic vacuums. These systems are used indoors to continuously roam around your floors while they vacuum the surface. You can set what times of the day they’ll function, for how long or at what intervals. They eliminate the need for you to vacuum manually and they keep your floors clean 24/7.
Of course, if you want more integrated home automation systems, you can buy products such as Amazon Echo, Apple HomeKit, C-Net Smart Home, Logitech Harmony Elite, and more.
