You may have a smart light or robot vacuum, but is that living with home automation? It varies on who you ask, but generally speaking, home automation is less dependent on the equipment that you’ve installed and more about the system powering those pieces.. With a proper smart home system, you can direct heaps of equipment around your schedule, making your house better protected, more responsive, and more energy-efficient.

So, if the smart home system is more than tools, what is home automation in Medford and how do I choose the perfect system?

How to pick a home automation hub

If you install a single smart device, for instance, a smart light bulb or smart lock, you already have a bit of the the home automation pie. That device probably includes an app for mobile devices in which you can command the device through a few means. It’s easy to shop and buy more parts at random as your needs grow and change.

But typically people prefer to operate all their devices with a single home automation hub. Typically, your central core is a smart speaker like Alexa or Google Home. Other times it's with a home security provider, such as Vivint, that can power home automation, any sensors, and security cameras and enable them to work with each other. Then, you’re able to link your home security network into your smart speaker and get the best of both worlds of powerful home automation and voice functionality.

What are the perfect devices to pair with your smart home?

After you get the core installed, you are able to add in your components.. If you have your home security service as the hub, you'll start by choosing your sensors and cameras. Then you'll power up your system with smart lights, smart thermostats, and any additional smart devices.

What are you able to do with home automation in Medford?

Home automation is there to make your life simpler, more responsive, and more energy-efficient. To reach these goals, you can:

Remotely operate your smart devices: Check your Medford lights or alarm status from your mobile security app. Then power on the lights, lock the door, and fiddle with the thermostat from anywhere you are.

Create customized scenes: Link your smart devices together to correlate to your personal preferences. Tell your system to turn off the lights, adjust the temperature, arm your alarms, and secure the doors when you tell your house "goodnight." Or have your home respond seamlessly when the kids come home from school.

Obtain alerts and notifications: If your alarms, cameras, or fire alarms sense anything unusual, it’ll shoot you an alert to your smart device.

Use geolocation with home automation: When you enter the driveway, you can have your lights come on, and your playlist as your doors unlock and alarms disarm.
