Home automation is essentially ideal for the technically challenged
For many, home automation is only a thing of dreams, like something in a house owned by Bill Gates. A misconception that home automation is extremely complex makes many people apprehensive, thinking that they could never own or use such a system.
But this simply isn’t true.
The truth is that home automation systems have the power to simplify everything within your home and life. For example, homeowners often struggle with technologies that don’t work together. They hate the numerous remote controls cluttering coffee tables, and the wires tangled throughout rooms, but they don’t know they have any other options. Today’s home automation technologies eliminate the confusion. Completely.
This means that home automation is essentially ideal for the technically challenged. Here is an outline of some of the reasons why:
1. Combined technologies
Many home automation systems give users the ability to combine many of their technologies, such as lighting, security, entertainment and temperature control into one system.
2. A single, simple point of control
These combined technologies can be controlled using asingle unit. This single point of control can be a remote or a home computer or iPad, iPhone or smart phone. This means a control that you already know how to use.
3. One-touch control
There is no need to fiddle with devices or cables to change from one mode of entertainment to another. If the kiddies are playing PS3 and mom and dad want to start movie night, a push of a button is all that is needed to power on the TV for movies, close the blinds and dim the lights.
4. All-room control
Home automation can be used to control technology in all rooms – so if, for example, at dinner time the children are listening to music in their own rooms, mom can simply push a single “Dinner” button and the music will be shut down and dinner announced.
5. Control on the road
Home automation is even ideal for the technically challenged on the road. Leaving your house with a sitter is no longer a matter of blind faith: using your control device you can easily check in on your security, seeing which doors are unlocked or which lights are on etc. If you see a door unlocked, no problem – just push a button to lock it from wherever you are.
6. Convenience & comfort
Home automation systems can be used to control temperature. On a hot day, remotely adjust your air conditioning from your iPad with the simple touch of button before you leave work so you come home to a cool house.
7. Simple setup and maintenance support
The technically challenged usually have concerns around setup and maintenance of a system. “Where do we start, what do we need, and what happens if something goes wrong?” A good team of installers will help you to decide on the right system for your home, and offer continued support to ensure that you never have any problems. They are just a call away.
Far from being something from a movie, home automation is a simple solution to making everyone’s lives easier, especially the technically challenged. With the right support from a home automation specialist, it is possible for anyone and everyone!
