Home automation lets you keep things secure and running efficiently, and even keeps you aware of what’s happening at your home when you’re away. It’s possible today because everyday devices like thermostats, lights, locks, security systems, garage doors and more, connect to the Internet so you can control them through a mobile app.
The smart home includes powerful cloud technology to seamlessly connect devices together, making them much smarter and a lot easier to use too. You can control them all through a single mobile app, and, with some simple set-up, all your devices will respond automatically to your daily routines and activities.
By analyzing information from all your devices, the smart home understands your unique patterns and preferences. It anticipates your needs and flexibly adjusts when your schedule changes. The more devices you add, the smarter and more convenient things around your home become.
Connected Devices, Working Together
Connected devices are the building blocks of your smart home. They connect to the Internet so you can control them through apps on your smartphone. With more things in the home getting connected every day, it’s important to consider how a device you buy today will be able to work with others you add to your home in the future.
Connected devices can be standalone, or part of a smart home system. The more they integrate with each other – ideally through a single platform and app – the more you can do.
