Home automation is  at the forefront of the building industry and it is quickly becoming one of the most requested features in today’s custom-built homes. But, many new home buyers still aren’t sure of what to expect from this state-of-the-art technology.
 
At AcoustiCreations, we work hand-in-hand with builders and homeowners alike to design, install, and optimize home automation systems for both new and existing homes. In an effort to help you decide whether or not this feature is right for you, here are eight of the top benefits offered by home automation.
 
#1: Improves Home Security with Automated Door Locks
 
Ever leave the house worrying that you forgot to lock the door? With the automated door locks on a SMART home, this worry is a thing of the past because you can engage the locks from anywhere using any Internet-connected device. As an added benefit, you can even be notified any time someone enters or exits the home, so you’ll always be informed when your child gets home from school.
 
#2: Improves Safety with Appliance and Lighting Controls
 
Home automation makes any home a safer place. For instance, using an app on your smartphone or tablet, you can check that your husband turned off the range top before leaving for work, or that your daughter turned off her curling iron before heading off to school. Or, if you have to stay late at work, you can easily turn on any light in the home so potential thieves will think that the home is not empty. On the other side of that coin, you can also make sure all of your lights are turned off when nobody’s home so you can conserve energy.
 
#3: Improves Energy Efficiency and Comfort
 
In addition to managing your lighting, home automation also makes it possible to adjust your heating and cooling from anywhere. By including a Wi-Fi-enabled thermostat in your home’s design, you’ll be able to enjoy easy and convenient thermostat control from anywhere in or out of the house. And, many homes can even be separated into designated zones, so only those rooms being used can be warmed or cooled.
 
#4: Improves Home Monitoring
 
When you’re at work, it can be next to impossible to keep tabs on what’s happening at home. But, not with a home automation system. A home automation system can be designed with intelligently-placed cameras so you can always see who’s at your front door, check on the pet, or make sure your teen is really doing their homework.
 
#5: Saves You Money
 
A home automation system is your most powerful tool for controlling your home’s utility costs. From being able to remotely control appliances and lights to turning off your air conditioner while you’re away, your utility bills will drop significantly because you’ll have much more control over it all.
 
#6: Grants You Control Over Your Home When You’re Out of Town
 
Have to leave town for a few days? By having a home automation system in place, you’ll be able to automatically unlock your door for your neighbor so they can feed your cat. You’ll also be able to schedule the lights to turn on and off at certain times to give passersby the illusion you’re still at home.
 
#7: Saves Time
 
Today’s families lead very busy lifestyles. And as a result, it can be daunting to keep track of things like locking the front door, turning off the coffee pot, and other easy-to-forget tasks. But, because a SMART home allows you the ability to perform a host of different tasks from any Internet-connected device.
 
#8: Improves Homeowner Peace of Mind
 
Thanks to all of the benefits listed above, home automation will greatly improve your overall peace of mind because you’ll always be aware of what’s going on in your home; you’ll always know your home is safe and secure, and you’ll always know who’s coming and who’s going, no matter where you are on the planet.
