Touch button comfort
These days, a key trend in home luxury is automation. Home automation silently blends into the design elements proposed by the architect and not only makes the home secure, but also adds to the comfort of inhabitants.
Automation allows consumers to save money, be environmentally aware, feel more secure and enjoy a variety of conveniences that come with a single touch of button.
Home automation gives you control over the technology in your home via a central and often wall-mounted control panel, remote or your smart phone. You can control the temperature, lighting, music, Internet, television and home cinema with the touch of a button without having to walk from room to room. It also helps in reducing the number of switch boards that at times spoil the room’s look.
Although automation techniques are used for lighting appliances, climate control, door control, windows and blinds control, you can also use it for your security settings. There are systems that come with gas leak detector, fire alarm, glass break-in and door break-in detectors to ensure cent percent security of your house round the clock, irrespective of whether you’re at home or away.
With the technology now available at multi-level costs, you will be able to have a system with a control panel, door and window sensors, motion sensors, glass break sensors and often, these features can be monitored using your cell phone. With home automation, the consumer can select and watch cameras live from an Internet source. Security cameras can be controlled, allowing the user to observe activity around a house right from a monitor or touch panel.
The home automation unit also comprises of a central control device, which can wirelessly communicate with your cell phone. Therefore, the intruder(s) and thieves can’t tamper with the fittings. Various sirens and sensors are connected to the central control device which immediately alerts the users in case of break-ins. With the advancement in technology, multiple users and multiple cell phones can be connected to the 24x7 home security systems.
But if you wish to install home automation, start early as the benefit of planning from the early stages is that you can conceal cables and systems around your décor. When home automation is installed during construction of a new home, usually control wires are added before the interior walls are installed.
So, be carefree and enjoy your vacation while your beautiful home stays safe.
