Building a new home? Congratulations! This is an exciting journey, and the way to realize that dream you’ve been planning for years! No doubt you’ve spent hours pouring over your plans, researching online, choosing colours and getting everything together… This home is going to suit your busy lifestyle and your family’s needs down to the ground!

And that’s why smart home automation is on the top of the priorities list. Integrated home automation is no longer the way of the future: it’s the way of the now! Innovative, cost-effective, efficient and oh-so-convenient – your new home just isn’t complete without this added level of comfort and sophistication.

So, what are the key advantages and how does smart home automation improve the functionality of your home?

1.Convenience

Functionality first. After all, your home is where you spend a lot of your time: it’s where you relax, chill out and entertain friends and family, so it must be practical. Smarthome automation just takes convenience that extra mile. It’s all the little things, such as the ability to remotely unlock and open the front door and let in your family or guests, and total control over lighting, heating/cooling etc., regardless of where you are, that all add up to create one super functional, intensely practical home.

2.Cost efficiency

When it comes to building a new home, cost efficiency is always in the back of our minds. We research online and in-store for the most efficient appliances; we install lights that use minimal electricity; we pick windows with extra glazing and check the star ratings on various products. But being cost conscious doesn’t stop when the building is complete – we need to be able to control our energy usage as an ongoing thing. And that’s where smart home automation can make a big difference: no need to run the air-conditioner all day so that the home is pleasant to come home to – from your smart device you can remotely turn it on an hour before you leave work. With the touch of a screen, you can be sure that the house will be cool and comfortable to return to at the end of the day!
