Home Automation

What is Home Automation
Did you know that you can install a very convenient and powerful home automation system for a modest price? In addition to allowing you to conveniently control many of your house's appliances and system with an intuitive control panel or even a smart phone, the right system can help you save money and make your home more comfortable.

What Can You Control with Home Automation?

Are you old enough to remember the days before TV remote controls were common? Imagine the convenience and security of being able to control your home by remote control.

An automation system allows you to control your HVAC and lighting. You can set the temperature depending upon your needs at the time. For example, you might want to set the thermostat for your air conditioning higher when everybody in the family is out at work or school. You can also set it to cool your home off a few minutes before family members are due home. This saves money and ensures that your home will stay comfortable.

Automation systems also help you keep your home more secure. You can control security locks, gates, and doors from your control panel or smart phone. You don't ever need to return home because you are worried you forgot to unlock the door for your kids.

According to the home security experts of Paragon Security and Locksmith, home automation can pay for itself in lower utility costs and extra convenience.
