Imagine you wake up feeling too lazy to get out of bed immediately. You need your curtains to be drawn, lights to be turned on, and strong coffee to start working on the assignment your boss assigned you. You say, “Alexa, open the curtains!” and the curtains are opened. Then the lights are turned on as you tell, “Alexa, turn on the lights!” Your coffee machine has already started making your coffee as it’s the morning and you are up. What a great life! Right? This can be your home with these and hundreds of other features provided by Crestron, Control 4, and other home automation brands. The features include video surveillance of your home, scheduled heating or cooling, a smart door lock, and a text message notifier when someone is at the door. Home automation, turning your home into a smart home in Toronto, is now the best choice as the world is changing in this golden age of technology.

Home automation can maximize comfort, security, entertainment, energy conservation, and money saving for your Toronto home. Below are some of the benefits home automation provides you.

Comfort

When it comes to comfort, there is nothing like an automated, smart home. Control4’s Smart lightings turn on and off on your voice command, so you don’t need to get out of bed to turn off the lights when all cozied up in your blanket! Smart thermostats in your Toronto’s automated home can increase or decrease your home’s temperature according to your needs. You can set your coffee machine to brew your favourite coffee every morning as soon as you wake up. You can set your electric geezer to provide you with hot water at a particular time, so you don’t have to wait for hot water to take a shower when getting late for a meeting. Control4’s smart blinds allow you to open or shut all the shades in your home with voice control or a single touch.  Control 4’s smart door locks allow you to open your main door via facial recognition and enter your home even when you forget to get the key in the morning! When feeling low, you can create a different vibe in your room with dim lights and a sad song playing in the background, played by yours truly, Control4’s smart audio.

Security

Home automation maximizes the security of your home, providing you and your family the optimum safety. Smart video surveillance allows you to monitor your home even when you are away. So no more worrying about kids or pets every time you are out! Even if you are on vacation with your family and there’s no one home, you can deter the burglars with bright, timed lighting set to be turned on at night, giving the impression that the house is occupied. Moreover, Control4 smart door locks and text message notifications when someone is at your door ensure your and your family’s safety.

Energy Conservation and Budget-Friendliness

Do you always keep worrying about your energy bills? Do you keep struggling with decreasing your bills but have consistently failed? Home automation with Crestron, Control 4, or other brands can help you. Smart lighting turns off when no movement is detected for a long time. Likewise, the air conditioner and heaters turn on and off, sensing the temperature requirements and detecting the movements, thus saving you a lot of money and energy. So you don’t have to worry all day about the heater you forgot to turn off before stepping out. Your home can be environment-friendly and budget-friendly with Crestron or Control 4 home automation.

If you are new to the world of home automation and still struggling with the confusion or getting used to it, Crestron or Control 4 are your best friends. Crestron and Control4 have a very user-friendly interface for their products and can be compatible with different technologies. So think no more; now is the time to maximize your comfort, security, and savings through home automation!
