With the increasing popularity of technology in our homes today, you have probably heard plenty about home automation. But what are the best home automation solutions? Keep reading to find out!

 

1. Heating and AC

 

Older thermostats wait for the temperature in your home to rise/fall several degrees above or below the desired temperature before taking action to get the temperature back to normal. However, when you automate your heating and AC system, this is no longer the case. Automated thermostats keep the temperature in your home within a couple degrees of a desired temperature. Gone are the days when you have to constantly manually change the thermostat. An automated thermostat brings a whole new level of convenience and comfort to your home.

 

2. Lighting

 

Lighting systems from Total Home Technologies are undoubtedly one of the best home automation solutions you can invest in. Want to keep burglars from knowing you’re not at home? Want to have your lights grow dimmer at night as you get ready to go to sleep? Would it be great for your lights to slowly grow brighter in the morning as you wake up and adjust to the light? With lighting systems from Total Home Technologies, all this, and more, is available.

 

3. Outlet Control

 

You would be surprised at how much money you spend powering electronic appliances for hours and hours even though you aren’t using them. How often do you actually use the microwave in the middle of the night? How about the coffee pot? Or what about the television? Outlet control solutions offer you the ability to save money in all these areas. Outlet control allows you to set a specific time for the outlets to shut off power to your electronic appliances. So, you can pick and choose which appliances to shut off power to at night and watch how much money you save on your next bill!
