What is Home Automation?
If you live in a tent, say, somewhere in the Alaskan wilderness, you probably ought to just skip this section. There's wood to chop and dinner to find, apex predators to avoid, and plenty of other things to concern yourself with. Don't worry about me; I'll be fine. However, if you live indoors, your home likely has a lot going on. Devices and systems are everywhere. Electricity and water course through your walls. There is lighting, climate control, audio, security, and appliances... so many appliances. It's a lot. Home automation brings the control of these elements together, allowing them to be utilized to their full potential and to interact seamlessly. In this way, you can, in real-time, transform your home environment to suit a mood, facilitate your work, and otherwise meet your needs. You can combine ease with enjoyment, safety with comfort, and achieve efficiencies that are otherwise out of reach. Spaces can be kept at money-saving temperatures when you're away and returned to your preferred settings before you arrive. You can arrive home at night to find your place bright and welcoming. You can double-check that your doors are closed and locked or that the hose is turned off, no matter your location, freeing yourself from worry and frustration. You can automate as much or as little as you wish and add capabilities as you go . How is this done? By placing little devices throughout your home that allow you to operate things, such as light switches and thermostats, just as you do now, while adding the capability of remote control.
When more of your place is automated than is not, you will have established a "Smart Home" and with that, added some real market value. Ten years into my automation journey, I have over sixty devices in play.
