What are some of the latest home automation features available on the market?
Lighting controls are one of the most popular but not always an intuitive category of home automation. Security lighting is especially important for urban neighborhoods, and lighting control systems can provide automatic timeclock scheduling to turns lights on and off whether you are at home or not. Use exterior lights to provide a blanket of security throughout the night. With new homes, or even a major remodel, lighting controls can help eliminate banks of confusing switches in favor of a keypad with simple one-touch presets for setting lights throughout the house.
What should a homeowner think about when considering automation features?
If you are building or remodeling your home, take advantage of the opportunity to plan and install low-voltage wiring. Your TVs, speakers, cameras and video doorbells all work much better with hardwired connections. ... Even if you don’t already have in place what you need, retrofitting new low-voltage wiring is usually worth the effort in the long run.
