3 Benefits of Smart Home Automation

The smart home is not just the house of the future; it’s the house of our present. You may not think you need a smart home, but if you consider all the things you are currently automating, you’ll see that you are just a few steps away already from an automated lifestyle. 

Consider, for example, that your smartphone and Alexa are being used asGoogle search tools. You probably have alarms, music streaming, grocery lists, reminders, you name it on your phone or your Alexa. Maybe they even communicate. Or you turn your TV or lamps on and off just by saying 'Hey Google.' If you are familiar with any of those conveniences, you are already utilizing home automation. But if that doesn't convince you, here are three good reasons to get a smart home installation for your Jacksonville home.

A Security System That Goes Beyond Expectations 

A person’s home is their castle, as they say, and that castle needs to be protected. Installing a security system may be a no brainer, but integrating a security system with a home automation system will take it to the next level. Home automation can tie into your surveillance cameras and intercom systems, smart doorbells, and smart door locks. You can set schedules for automatic lighting indoors and outdoors, as well as your locks. View your home remotely and respond to visitors via your intercom or doorbell. And have it automatically alert authorities if suspicious activity or accident such as fire is detected. With this type of security, you’ll never have to worry about keeping your home protected again.
