Wouldn’t it be great if you could control various activities in your home just at your fingertips? The Internet of things-IoT has made it possible to make your home like the one you watch in sci-fi movies. With home automation systems, you can execute home activities at your fingertips, for instance-control, your media, alarm, lighting, heating, cooling, or security systems.
What exactly is Home Automation?
Home Automation is the process of automating your home that lets you control electronic devices (Home Audio & Video Systems)
at home. Such devices are connected through the Internet enabling you to control them at your fingertips. With home automation, devices can run digitally so that you don’t have to run them manually. Instead, you can run it through a voice assistant or app.
For instance, home automation lets you fix your lights’ timetable so that they go off automatically when you go to sleep.
Home Automation Systems are a lot more than just fixing light timetables; there are many cool things you can do with home automation. Here are five cool things you can do with home automation:
1. Multi-Room Audio
Music gives life to everything around you. It is what makes this dull life exciting and colorful. And home automation takes you further to enhance your music-audio experience. Instead of having a dispersed library of songs, you can organize your favorite songs with the help of a NAS-Network Access Storage device. Now, you can listen to your songs from anywhere around your home. Furthermore, you can play and control music wirelessly from your smartphone.
2. Mood lighting
One of the coolest things you can do with home automation is control your home lighting as per your mood, ambiance levels, and environment. For instance, if it’s raining outside, you can change the intensity, brightness, and color of lightning, whatever suits your mood. Likewise, light up to reddish if it’s valentine’s day or dim the lights when it’s time to sleep.
Also, historically, lightning systems can only be installed in new homes. But now, it is possible to install them in existing homes. In addition, lighting systems can be controlled with a voice assistant, touch screen, or remote control. So, let your imagination take over the lightning experience.
3. Conserve Energy
The best advantage of home automation is that it lets you conserve energy. Many people leave their house and forget to turn off the lights or adjust their thermostats. Such things can cause inefficient energy consumption. However, you can rely on home automation to conserve energy usage by setting up your system to turn off lights or adjust the thermostat whenever you leave home. Motion sensors in your home automation ensure that your lights turn on automatically whenever someone enters the house.
4. Have A Movie Theater Experience
The coolest thing you get with your home automation is a home theater. A home cinema gives you a movie theater experience as home cinema involves a big screen, comfortable sofas or chairs, and an environment similar to a movie theater. So, if you want to binge-watch Marvel movies, you can do it at your home-the most comfortable place.
It can lighten your mood and make you feel good with the entertainment it offers. Furthermore, you can watch movies with your friends or family, making it more enjoyable. For instance, custom controls let you have a more personalized movie home cinema experience.
5. Set up advanced security
Setting up security cameras and alarms is necessary for house owners to identify whether trespassers are too mainstream. Automated motion sensors in your home automation can trigger a voice playback whenever it tracks some movement around your house. Furthermore, it can light up your rooms randomly when you are away from your home for a long time to give trespassers an illusion that you are at home.
There are endless possibilities you can try with home automation systems. All you have to do is keep experimenting with your home automation and find more cool things to make your life easier. The smart home is the future, and you are living it now.
