It is about time that you change your ordinary house into a smart home. Smart homes are the next big thing and home automation is going to be the future of living. A smart home in Perth includes control and automation of lights, fans, thermostat, air-conditioning and various home appliances like tv, fridges and washing machines. In a smart home, you can link all your devices such as mobiles phones, tablets, computer, smart watches and cameras with one and each other.
It helps you control anything in the house with your voice or just by a touch from your smartphone. In many cases, you do not even have to be present in the house and you can control your devices via the internet or automated sensors and timers. All the appliances and devices are connected to each other with the help of Wi-Fi.
Is Home Automation Scary?
Home automation can seem to be a little bit scary and expensive. You do not have to be tech expert in order to control your smart home, in fact, you are already using most of the devices that play a key role in making your ordinary home into a smart one. You can either buy a house that was built as a smart home and has all the new advance home automation features or you can convert your regular house into a smart home, step by step.
It is my recommendation that you start adding basic smart home features like controlling your lights, linking all your devices and learning smart home apps and when you get the hang of it then get expensive appliances like smart stoves and washers. If you buy a house that was built as a smart home you would end up confused and not be using most of the appliances, after all the main purpose of the smart home is to make your life easy and not complicated.
Setting Up A Smart Home
If you are setting up a smart home in Perth and would like to expand and add things along as time goes by you should start by getting a smart hub. A hub controls all your smart home products and it contains few multi-purpose sensors so you can put these on your doors and windows so you can get alert when there are open or closed.
The best thing about these sensors is that once they detect the door is closed or open you can make them trigger different actions for example if you open the door the sensor automatically switches on the light. You can control lights, thermostat and much more via the app. If you want to control all these techs with your voice you would need to get a device like an Amazon echo or google home.
With the help of these devices, you can control everything with your voice. It is amazing how much the technology has advanced. With the help of artificial intelligence, within a few years, our smart homes will be able to detect our daily patterns and it will be able to automatically switch on the alarm, switch off the air conditioning, start your shower and switch on the stove, without you even pressing a button.
