With today’s technology, it can elevate your life in once unimaginable ways.

As TIME reports, there’s a reason why over 60 million households actively use smart home devices.

Home Automation Defined

Smart home living involves a vast array of interconnected, intelligent systems that communicate with each other and your home automation platform through the internet. This connectivity allows you to automate everyday tasks and manage your home from anywhere in the world. 

Through user-friendly interfaces, mobile devices, and your voice, you can control your lighting, climate, security, entertainment systems, and even the power that runs your home. Even more impressive? Your smart home manages them for you. 

Like all things smart, your home learns. It gets to know your preferences and how you interact with it throughout the day. It comes to understand that your morning routine consists of opening the shades, adjusting the thermostat, turning on certain lights, and streaming your ‘Energizing’ playlist throughout your home while enjoying a latte. 

This sequence of events becomes automated, performed with no effort on your part. And on it goes throughout the day, a smart home that manages the everyday tasks, giving you more time to do the things that bring you joy.

The Latest Technology in Elevated Living

It would take a chapter or two in a very large book to describe all the capabilities of the latest home automation technology. Here are a few of the many trending smart home solutions that make every day a little easier and more enjoyable. 

• Voice Assistants: While streaming breathtaking music throughout your home or turning your lights to the color of a tropical sea by tapping a touchscreen is impressive, doing all this by stating a voice command is even more remarkable. When you’re busy in the kitchen preparing a meal for soon-to-be arriving guests, your smart home helps you prepare. You can tell it to unlock the front door, turn on the patio and landscape lights, and play your ‘Entertainment’ playlist in every room. 

• Energy Management: Creating more sustainable living options is on everyone’s mind these days. Today’s energy management systems let you control how you power and sustain your home, enabling you to press a button to go off-grid, automatically switch to green energy should a power outage occur, and much, much more.

• Home Entertainment: Smart homes have redefined home entertainment with cutting-edge solutions. All your devices, from TVs to speakers are managed from one platform. Choose a source, the room or your entire home, and enjoy.
