The smart home device market is set to grow to more than $170 billion by 2025.
The increasing popularity of smart home devices is due to their ability to enable home automation. Smart devices can control and automate many things throughout your home, not only providing convenience but also saving you money.
Which products do you need for the best home automation experience?
Read on as we take a look at some of the best options.
Smart Speaker
A smart speaker is a perfect way to control your home automation products. Using your voice means that you still have control even if you have your hands full with something else.
The two most popular options on the market are Amazon Echo and Google Home products. Both are supported by a wide range of smart home products, although some of these products may require an additional smart hub in order for you to use them with Alexa or Google Home.
Smart Climate Control
This is one of the best uses of home automation. Not only does smart climate control provide convenience, but it can save you money too.
A smart thermostat can be controlled easily by voice or with a smartphone, but the real benefits come from its automation skills. For example, many systems can detect when everyone has left the home, and turn off heating or cooling, ensuring that you’re never paying to heat or cool an empty home.
When you return, it will turn the climate control back on to ensure that your home is a perfect temperature for your arrival. Combined with smart scheduling, this can save you serious money on your energy bills.
Popular brands include Google Nest and Ecobee4.
Smart Security
Smart devices can also help to keep your home safe.
You can install video cameras that you can monitor from your phone or smart speaker. These cameras can also be set up to alert you when motion is detected, warning you when someone is near your home.
Smart doorbells such as the Ring products allow you to see who is at your door and even respond to them when you’re away from home. This can protect you when people are trying to see if you are out of the house.
Smart locks such as those offered by Yale also allow you to lock your doors remotely, and can even be set to lock automatically when you leave so you’ll never forget to lock the door again.
