Technology for automating homes has advanced in recent times. It gives homeowners more control over their living spaces than ever before. You can monitor and manage your home’s security, entertainment, energy use, and more from your phone or via voice commands. If you want to upgrade your home with the newest automation gadgets and devices, here are 10 things you can control.
1. Lights and Motion Sensors
One popular home automation is controlling lights. You can have motion sensors or occupancy detectors that turn lights on automatically when you walk into a room and off when you leave. You can even set up schedules to have lights turn on at certain times, like dusk. Also, with smart bulbs, you can change colors and brightness from an app. Smart switches and control panels make it simple to control multiple lights at the same time. Black-Haak can install and integrate automated lighting solutions throughout your home. We determine the right motion sensors, smart bulbs, switches and scheduling options based on your needs. Our technicians handle the installation and ensure all lighting components work together seamlessly.
2. Automated Blinds and Curtains
Another way to control the feel and look of your rooms is with automated window treatments. You can schedule smart blinds and curtains to open and close at certain times to let sunlight in or block it out. You can also control them remotely to adjust privacy or lighting whenever you want. Voice assistants allow hands-free control of your automated window. Black-Haak provides solutions for automated window coverings. We assess your needs and preferences to determine the best products. Our installers will mount, connect and test the blinds and curtains to ensure smooth automation.
3. Smart Doorbells
A smart video doorbell lets you know who’s at your door without having to check. These nifty gadgets alert you when someone comes to your door and allow you to see and talk to visitors from your phone. Some smart doorbells work with smart locks, so you can let in expected guests remotely, and our security experts at Black-Haak can leverage automation to design a comprehensive system customized to your home. We integrate smart security components with your other automated features for complete control. It will ensure you get notifications about deliveries and visitors even when you are away.
4. Smart Thermostats
Controlling your home’s temperature is one of the best things you can get from home automation. Smart thermostats learn your heating and cooling preferences, and you can program them to maximize comfort and save energy. Many connect with smartphone apps so you can change the temperature from anywhere in the house. Black-Haak can install smart thermostats and link them with your home automation system for complete climate control.
