Now you can’t go long or far without hearing about or having your life somehow impacted by home automation. It is so much a part of our lives that many people can’t even remember life without it!
Good things are never contained, and the smart home revolution has made it into the workplace, and our lives and our businesses are better for it. Here are some of the ways we love to use home automation to make business even better.
Climate Control
It is an age-old problem—- the temperature seems to always get set at a temperature that makes someone uncomfortable. Then there is the ongoing daily battle over the thermostat that will have everyone freezing one moment and roasting the next. One of the best things about using automation is that you can set the temperature to reflect the perfect climate under different circumstances.
Lighting Control
When the lighting is automation enabled, you can make sure that the lights are on for your arrival, and off when the business is closed for the day. You can even create scenes where only necessary lighting is on during particular hours. If you are worried about whether or not your remembered to run off the lights manually it is no problem. All You need to do is check from your smart phone from anywhere, whether you are a block away or across the country.
Energy Management

Security
