What is a Smart Home?
A smart home is a home where all the devices in your household are connected via an internet-based network and can be programmed to do certain tasks automatically.
The aim of a smart home system is to help your home run more efficiently by synchronizing and automating the functions of these connected devices.
Home automation is the use of technology to improve the functioning, security, and convenience of your home.
Our professionals will work with you to help you figure out what parts of your home you want to make smart, such as security, lighting, temperature control, and entertainment. A futuristic level of convenience, security and entertainment is available now to make your life easier, less stressful and more comfortable.
So how does it work?
Smart home devices, such as door locks, smart thermostats, smart speakers, smart lights, and more, work by communicating with each other and your home’s smart security system.
These devices can be controlled via an automated schedule, other smart devices, or even remotely from your smartphone. They are powered by sensors, software and wireless protocols such as Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 5.0, Z-Wave and Zigbee.
