Advances in home automation technology are finally starting to become fun and dramatically more affordable. With the audio visual industry currently generating $91 billion dollars a year, it's no surprise that for decades home automation was only a commodity for the rich and famous. Chunky, hard-to-use systems which required professional installment and constant upkeep, guaranteed homeowners a hefty price tag. Fortunately, for your home and also ours, this no longer has to be the case. 

Smartphones and tablets have now revolutionized home automation - transforming the average Joe into a more sophisticated one. How so, you ask? Simply put, home automation enhances a homeowner’s quality of life by giving them the ability to control anything, anywhere.

Here's the top three benefits home automation offers:

1. Time savings

• Most people would agree there just are not enough hours in a day. Unfortunately for many of us, our fast-paced lifestyles make our homes end up pretty low on our priority list. Home automation reduces time consuming tasks in mere minutes by putting you in total control of everything, from lighting to appliances, with the touch of a button from any of your favorite devices.

2. Energy savings

• The bulk of your savings will come in the form of energy savings, considering heating and air conditioning account for half of your electric bill. Adjust the temperature to your preferred comfort level prior to arriving home or put your system in standby AFTER you leave for vacation. Not only is home automation a wise investment but within months it practically pays for itself.

3. Peace of mind

• Say goodbye to the days of not having control over your home once you leave. Today, the ability to lock your home through your phone is one of the greatest benefits of home automation. Not to mention, how easy it is to quickly monitor your home remotely. The added peace of mind can help you reduce stress and protect your most prized possessions.
