According to the international market research company, Parks Associates, there will be 24 million homes with smart home automation by 2019. That means that there will be 24 million homes with their home appliances and digital devices hooked up to a network that allows the owner to control them all from their smart phone or one central location. Why is this market growing so fast, and should you join this growing trend? Well, there are several advantages to the owner of a smart home.
Smart Home Automation Benefits
Safety
You can program your smart home to respond to emergencies. More importantly, you can train it to avoid hazards that cause emergencies by letting your home safety sensors identify patterns that could cause trouble.
There is the ability to turn on your alarm system from a distance and to make the house look less inviting to thieves, too. In particular, this is helpful if you have a family to worry about; a preteen that comes home from school 15 minutes before you or an aging parent that wants to live in comfort could use the extra security.
Health
Connect all your fitness devices and apps so you can get expert help with your exercise routine without ever leaving your home. Your home can become your deluxe gym. If you have ever been embarrassed out of exercising by the presence of other people, this is the perfect solution for you.
Energy Savings
No more worrying about whether or not you have turned off the lights. You can check with your phone. Even better, you can program the lights to come on only when you want them to. You will also have perfect control over your heating and cooling systems. No more beating your kids off of the thermostat because they insist that they just can’t wear a sweater (since they don’t have to pay the utilities.)
Comfort
Your house can be an oasis of climate controlled comfort in a city of weather extremes. Have your house cool in the summer and warm in the winter regardless of when you come home from work. The lighting in every room will be perfect all day and the ambient noise will always be comfortable.
