Home automation was a bit of a pipe dream a couple decades ago. The stuff of science fiction movies and books. Now, though, the internet of things is making it easier and easier to wire your home to run itself. There are a ton of different home automation options available on the market, some of which can be beneficial in more ways than simply increasing your convenience. Let’s have a look at some of the specific ways that you can automate your home for the better.

Smart Thermostats

People actually waste a lot of money on climate control every year due to thermostat issues. Maybe you forget to turn the air conditioner off when you leave for work in the morning, or when you go to bed at night. Those little overruns add up, and eventually start to cost you real money from month to month. The best way around that is to install a smart thermostat in your home.

Smart thermostats learn from your climate control habits over the first couple of weeks that you use them. Eventually, they will know your habits well enough to adjust themselves entirely autonomously without your input. No more waking up to a freezing cold house because the AC was running all night. You can even set the thermostat to turn on your climate control systems a few minutes before you normally get home every day, so the temperature can be just right when you walk in the door.

Samsung Hub

If you want to really see what the internet of things can do for you, have a look at the Samsung Hub. This simple setup system can link all of your smart locks, lights, outlets, and pretty much every other smart appliance in your home together, so you can control all of them from a single point. Using an app on your phone, you can do everything from turn the lights off from the couch to locking your front door when you leave. The Hub is compatible with a variety of other devices from different manufacturers, so you don’t have to worry about it not playing well with others.

Alexa

The Amazon Alexa has been incredibly popular for its multitude of different functions since its release. If you’re looking for a home assistant that offers you easy access to the internet, Amazon store, your contacts and calendars, and a multitude of other functions, Alexa is a great choice. We can help you get Alexa all set up, so you can take full advantage of its functionality.

These are just a few of the many different ways that you can automate your home for the better. Talk to a qualified professional to find out more ways that you can easily take advantage of the Internet of Things.
