How Automation Companies Are Creating Futuristic Homes – Benefits Of Smart Homes

It is a futuristic world we are living in today. Yes, devices and appliances in your smart home can today communicate with one another and with you digitally. You can control and monitor them with the touch of a button on your smartphone anytime anywhere! Automation companies are indeed creating smart futuristic homes involving use of PLC / SCADA, cables and wires, touch screen / plates / panels, LAN and networking linking all with lights, HVAC, electronic appliances, security systems, and various other devices electrically used at home. The key objective is facilitating comfort and convenience at the same time ensuring that you save energy significantly and live safe lives.

Top 5 benefits of smart homes:

1. Convenience: You cannot be at two places at the same time, but smart homes let you be there! Irrespective of where you are, you can access your home and accordingly control and manage electrical functioning of the various home systems. With the touch of a button on your smart phone, you can make everyday home activities happen automatically

2. Energy savings: Smart homes help manage energy consumption, leading to optimum energy usage. Certain smart devices like motion or occupancy sensors can be synced up to lights and HVAC so that they turn on and off automatically accordingly to occupancy. Use of LED lights and 5-star rated HVAC and electronic appliances further facilitate reduced consumption of energy
3. Automated security of home, assets and occupants: Installation of a comprehensive range of security products like CCTV cameras, DVRs, biometric door locks, glass break sensors, motion detectors, gas leak detectors, access control systems, and more ensure that you, your family members, and home assets are safe. Besides, you can monitor the security of your home from anywhere
4. Boon for the elderly and disabled residents: Easy accessibility and control of lights, door locks, HVAC, electronic appliances, and more, via a smart user interface such as smart phone, ipad or remote is a boon for the elderly and disabled residents.  Time can also be pre-set or scheduled for certain automatic tasks.  They, thus, need not be dependent on others. 
5. Increased resale value: Smart homes have high resale value compared to other conventional homes. It is worth the investment of turning your home into a smart home. You not only save big money on energy savings besides enjoying comfort, convenience, and security like never before but also enjoy high value appreciation of your property.
