EDITOR IN CHIEF By EDITOR IN CHIEF | April 04, 2020 | United States

Your everyday mundane activities that revolve around managing your home have become a thing of the past.

By Ivette Castro

Nowadays, you can leave them on your computer so you can relax or put that extra energy into more important things. What was once read about only in science fiction novels or TV shows is currently a reality for the average household.

With home automation becoming more common in today’s world, people see a new and enduring trend with today’s technology. What does home automation look like? Well, it depends on how much of your home you automate. For some, it’s making sure the lights turn on at a specific time of the day, making sure the temperature is that perfect amount of warmth and coziness before you get home from a cold day at work, or even closing the curtains as the sun goes down. It depends on what you want automated and how much you want technology to work for you.

Here are some ideas that will spark some inspiration and motivate you to automate your home.

  • Lights – From your smartphone or tablet, you can use home automation to control the lights in your home. Whether you want to switch them on or adjust their brightness, both are at your disposal without leaving the couch. With today’s technology, you can do this from outside your home so you won’t have to worry about walking into a dark house and fumbling for a light switch.
  • Security Systems and Locks – The security and safety of your home are essential. It doesn’t matter if your home or on vacation, you can check and change your security system remotely. Depending on your system, home security cameras are an option for remote monitoring as well. These can be particularly fun if you have a dog and always wondered what they do while you’re at work.
  • Appliances – Whether the holidays or family fun night, being able to preheat that oven while you're at the grocery store to get dinner started is always a time saver.
  • Entertainment Systems – Next to lighting, these are perfect for integrating into your home automation system. You can manage your stored programs and decide when to watch them, all from an app on your smart device.
  • Indoor Climate Control – With an app to help you control this part of your home automation, you can raise or lower the temperature to whatever it is to make you and your family comfortable.

What was once a curiosity of the past and the domain of science fiction has become an affordable reality of today. Home automation has made the modern home more convenient. If you want to simplify your life and leave that extra time for more important things than consider automating your home, it’s no longer relegated to the rich or the tech-savvy. Everyone with a smartphone can learn how to use their home automated technology easily. After automating your home, you’ll probably wonder how you lived without it all those years before.
