Computerization Of The Electricity Of Your Building

Can you remember the Jetsons? That cartoon family who lived in a house where the home itself catered to their every need and request? We haven’t gotten there yet as a society, but we’re getting very close to it. Advances in nursing home automation have made it feasible to automate everything from making morning coffee to feeding the animals. Once you’ve got it installed, all you have to do is sit back and let your home take care of it all.

Virtually anything is doable:

The sky is literally the limit on what can be achieved with these units. Obviously your budget could also influence how far you go, but let’s assume that’s not an option at the moment. See what these technological marvels can do.

Lighting: Lighting automation means you’ll have access to alternative light settings for different activities. Picture the perfect lighting for watching TV, sitting down to a romantic party, all at the touch of a single button. Lighting automation also means your hallway light can be programmed to turn on when it detects you’re making a midnight trip to the toilet. Your porch and driveway lighting can be activated if you pull up to the property, and your kitchen lighting could turn on by itself in the morning when you venture out for your morning bowl of cereal.

Home Audio – Imagine relaxing jazz music in the bedroom every night at bedtime. Or how about the morning news blasting in the kitchen, along with the coffee maker, just to get you started in the morning right? Automating your audio system can even stream what you’re listening to from room to room as you move from kitchen to bathroom to relaxing on the porch for the evening. It really is all at your fingertips with a home automation system.

Security – A big added attraction of home automation is the added security. Home security systems will be connected to the home automation system so that all of its features are at your fingertips. You can view wireless streaming images from security cameras on your TV while watching the device live. You can program the lights to alternately turn on and off from room to room while you’re away, plus they can also be programmed to brightly illuminate your home and grounds instantly in the event of an uninvited intruder. And of course, your home automation system will always be in contact with your security provider, so you can be sure that assistance is on the way should the unthinkable happen.

Everything Else: While the features listed above may sound impressive, they really only scratch the surface of what home automation can entail. It’s possible to start baking dinner in the oven from across town, you can program the system to feed your pets on a set schedule, water your plants, open and close your blinds at set times of the day, and even regulate the home temperature to save you money when you’re away. The fact is, the Jetsons aren’t actually as far away as we might think.
