What is Home Automation

The market for automation houses is expected to reach over $20 billion. Clearly, home automation is big business and expected to continue to grow as both familiarity and demand grow. With those kinds of numbers, you might want to reconsider expanding beyond Alexa and adding other automated tools that you would typically use manually on a daily basis. The pace of our lives continues to become more complicated and accelerated while home automation keeps things simple. At CCS Southwest, we are all about presenting better solutions and we have a few that may pique your interest. 

First, let’s define what home automation is and is not. Automation refers to the automatic and electronic control of home features, appliances, and activities. It allows you to install a system of hardware and software that enables you to control lighting, temperature, and even appliances. Looking to save more money on utilities? Home automation encourages you to be more mindful of energy efficiency by reducing the amount of time lights stay on or lowering temperatures when you’ve left the room. Other advantages include: 

  • Easy remote access: You truly are the king or queen of your castle with all the power to control the comfort level of your home at your fingertips using a mobile device like a phone or laptop. This is the life. 
  • Maximum convenience: When lights are scheduled to turn off at certain times, you no longer have to remind the kids to turn them off. You can spend your energies on other more important things now. 
  • Increased security: There’s nothing like the peace of mind that comes from knowing that you are safe with automated smoke detectors, pressure sensors, and carbon monoxide monitors. Any disaster that strikes will meet its match with a smart home system that uses artificial intelligence or facial recognition to alert you of impending danger. 

Home automation is not a simple system, yet it will simplify your life. They are installed using complex technology and your home must be compatible for maximized efficiency. If you want to truly leverage home automation technology, you may need to invest in a central platform that will tie all existing home systems and activities together. 

What Home Automation is Available

There are a plethora of home automation systems available for customization. Just to name a few, here are the most popular systems currently in use: 

  • Climate Control: The ability to monitor or control the Heating and Air Conditioning from a central control device from inside the home, or remotely
  • Occupancy – Aware Control System – By integrating environmental sensors like CO2 and smart meters into a home automation system, the home can sense the owner and make automatic adjustments to those specified comfort levels. 
  • Lighting Control: The main processor communicates with all lights inside and outside the home. In areas where you would typically have four or five light switches, they are replaced by a single keypad with multiple buttons.
  • Home Network: All devices that connect to the homes WiFi or LAN essentially become part of the network. This includes routers, modems, and network switches.
  • Security/Surveillance: Security monitors all opening doors and windows as well as motion detection and sensing broken glass on the property.
