How Automating Your Living Space Can Free Up Valuable Time

The smart home concept has existed since the early 1950s when companies were still promoting the wonder of an all-electric house. Today's smart home systems may look much different. However, the primary goal is still the same: simplifying your lifestyle. 

The idea of smart or automated homes has always centered on how to save time. In the past, housewives and their errands may have been the primary target, but today's solutions are for the entire family. Smart devices do everything from making it easier to secure your home to creating a more energy-efficient space. 

Below we outline some ways our smart home systems give homeowners in Columbia, MO, more free time to use on what matters most.

Ideal Solutions for Streamlining Your Daily Tasks 

There are many ways to incorporate smart devices to save a little time throughout the day. Smart lighting is a great example. If you leave a light on, there is no need to walk back to it to turn it off. Within minutes, it'll turn off automatically based on occupancy sensors. Are you enjoying a drink on the deck? Lights turn on at sunset, so you don't have to get up to avoid getting left in the dark. Use similar sensors and schedules to manage locks and shades.

Centralized control also helps in these scenarios. Take the examples we mentioned above. Notice a light is on in the other room? Pull up an app on your phone to turn it off in seconds. Ready to head out on the deck for the evening? Use that same smart home app or a voice command to prepare the deck for your arrival.  

Bringing It All Together for the Ultimate Convenience 

Those use cases are just the beginning. The real beauty of smart home systems is creating scenes for any occasion. Based on a schedule or button press, all the technology in your home automatically adjusts for you. 

Let's focus on the two bookends of your day. When you wake up, a "Morning" scene will open the shades, dim up the lights, and turn on your TV to your go-to news broadcast. At the end of the day, a "Good Night" scene closes all the shades in the house, locks the door, and activates your security alarm. Both scenarios could happen automatically or with a simple button press.
