With so many of us renovating and purchasing homes, it comes as no surprise that one in four Australians are considering smart home automation.
Smart home technology or smart home automation generally refers to having your electronic devices on one central shared network providing you control of your systems in one central location. For example, your home’s thermostat, lights, audio speakers, smart TVs, security cameras, locks and appliances can be connected, which can be controlled from your smartphone or through a mobile touch screen device.
Smart home automation allows you to tap into high-tech functionality while enjoying the convenience, and added security.
Making your home smart
You don’t have to smarten up your home all at once; instead, make minor adjustments to see what you need and want. Think about what aspects of smart home automation is important to you. Would you prefer:
- A sound system indoors or outdoors for entertaining guests?
- A smart thermostat to help cut down on heating and cooling bills?
- Automated lights so you do not have to do your nightly walk through turning lights off?
- Add a smart doorbell or video intercom for added security?
This list is endless when it comes to smart home technology. The expert electricians at Smart Green Electrical will take your house from the Flintstones to the Jetsons (and beyond) seamlessly.
