Today, a home security system in Chicago, and other cities across the country, are much more than a device to keep intruders out. In fact, your entire home can be automated to turn lights on and off, set your thermostat at a certain temperature, turn on your oven so dinner is cooked when you get home, and even power up your sound system so you can have soft music playing when you walk in the door after a long day.
Home automation is still a new concept, but has evolved and come more popular as people discover the benefits and power of converting their home to a smart home. With an automated smart home, you can control several components of your dwelling by using your mobile device, laptop or computer.
Lighting
If you want to give the illusion that someone is home when dusk comes, you can program certain lights to come on. Another benefit is that you can have the lights turned on as you get home so you’re not fumbling in the dark trying to open the door.
Thermostat
Do you want your gas fireplace comforting you as you walk in the door? No one likes to come home to a chilly house, but it doesn’t make sense to have the thermostat going all day when your house is empty. You can control when the thermostat gets turned up.
Appliances
Turn your oven on before you arrive home so your dinner is cooked and hot upon your arrival. There’s nothing worse than coming home after a long day and still having to put dinner together.
Electronic Devices
Turn your sound system on with your favorite music CD’s loaded to listen to when you get home. It’s also great for pets.
