Smart Homes
‘Smart homes’ take advantage of automation technology and modern building techniques to give homeowners a new level of control of their property. Most of these tasks can be controlled easily using an app on your smart phone.
Below are some ‘why’s and ‘how’s we at Ideal Installs can help you convert your property in to a ‘Smart Home.’
01
Convenience
Convenience is one of the biggest reasons to convert your home into a ‘Smart home’. These homes give users remote access to systems including heating and cooling systems, intercoms, music and multimedia devices throughout the home. Homeowners can watch video or listen to audio in any room; video intercoms make it easy to communicate with others in the home or visitors at the door.
All of these smart home technologies help streamline common tasks, making your life easier and more comfortable.
02
Security
Security systems with cameras, motion sensors and a link to the local police station or a private security company are another facet of what makes a ‘Smart home.’ Beyond video monitoring surveillance and automated alarm, key cards or fingerprint identification can be used instead of conventional locks, making it harder for someone to break in.
03
Accessibility
For elderly or disabled residents, voice-command systems can do things like control lights, lock doors, operate a telephone or use a computer. Home automation allows an individual to set a schedule for automatic tasks like watering the lawn, removing the need to perform these labor-intensive tasks on a regular basis.
04
Efficiency
‘Smart homes’ offer enhanced energy-efficiency, saving you money on your bills and in turn, helping the environment. Lights can shut off automatically when no one is in a room, and the thermostat can be set to let the indoor temperature drop during the day before returning it to a more comfortable level just before the home owner arrives home in the evening.
