Leading a sustainable lifestyle with Automation
Automation has hit every aspect of life in a big way. Almost everything a person uses in a home can be hooked up to the internet and made “smart”! The internet of things has taken life by storm, and it’s here to stay. From the giant machine or device in the home to the most obscure, artificial intelligence is omnipresent and is a convenient and efficient way to live. Smarter Homes of Austin is a certified automation company that can turn an existing or new home into an intelligent home, fostering a sustainable lifestyle.
A smart home is energy efficient too. Once a device is connected to the internet and accessed remotely, all its functions can be controlled remotely. The functions can be controlled or programmed, but it is also possible to monitor how much energy is being consumed by a device. Furthermore, the remote control can even track when the consumption is at its lowest in the area and turn on a device accordingly to conserve energy. Opening and closing doors and locks, turning on air conditioners, making a cup of coffee at just the time one wants it, putting on the washing machine, music, lights, sprinkler system on the lawn, security camera, and yes, even drawing the blinds. All of this is quickly done remotely with the help of home automation.
According to Investopedia, “In the U.S. smart home market, the number of active households is expected to amount to 77.0m users by 2025”. While the audio-visual segment occupies the most significant chunk of smart home technology, a close second is close circuit cameras and other monitoring devices for the security of homes. More than 30% of homes in the U.S. have devices like Google Nest or Alexa. The entire concept of automation saves time - things get done without actually having to do them because it has been programmed or can be done even when one is far away from home.
Motorized Shades, Blinds, and Window Treatments
When speaking of the internet of things, the slightly obscure areas are often left out. One would think twice before realizing that even a simple task like drawing the curtains and blinds or shades can be connected to a remote device and done without getting up from where one is sitting. A home automation consultant from Smarter Homes of Austin will work with the interior designer or decorator working on the home to provide shades or drapes that complement the home's decor. These blinds can be controlled by the smart remote that controls all smart devices in the home. Elegant and aesthetically made, these blinds protect the home from UV rays and help in saving energy. There is a variety of materials and colors to choose from.
