Smart home automation is nothing new, but has become increasingly popular as its systems and features have become more accessible for the average homeowner. There are a number of benefits to contacting a home automation company, such as Instinct, to help you automate your home and see the advantages firsthand. Homeowners and builders alike were once scared off of the concept because of complex computer programs lacking usability. This is no longer the case, with many companies having their home automation systems accessible through a smartphone app, making it as easy to call a cab as to automate your home.
Save Money
A home automation system, like those provided by Instinct, will help you save money in a way no other system can. Having the ability to adjust your lights and thermostat, even when you’re not home, can help you save hundreds if not thousands of dollars per year off your electrical bill, depending on your current usage. You can still ensure the ongoing comfort of you and your family, but adjusting the temperature and lighting moments before you get home. You can also double check and be sure that the washing machine, dryer, and stove are all off, even after you’ve left the home.
Save The Environment
At the same time you are saving money, you’ll also be saving energy and reducing your own footprint on the environment. You can still come home to a toasty warm home in the winter and a fantastically cool one in the summer without leaving your temperature system on all day. When the seasons chance and it starts getting darker sooner, you can still leave your outdoor lights off all day, and turn them on just a few seconds before you get home, helping to ensure a safe arrival without wasting energy.
Save Time
Home automation can also save you a ton of time. For example, you can use your home automaton system to alert the family to the fact that dinner is ready by dimming the lights throughout the home, or by playing designated music through your sound systems. Or, if your family happens to be a bit more stubborn, you can even use the system to turn off their devices, ensuring that conversation over dinnertime actually occurs. You can also easily adjust the lighting, temperature, and volume of your music or audio devices in any given room just with the touch of a button, rather than getting up, locating and changing a number of different devices.
