What Is Smart Home Automation

Imagine a morning when you need to wake up at 7. At exactly 7, calm music begins to play to wake you in a good mood, and the curtains open to let sunlight fill your room. Your home wakes you gently—the AC is set to warm slightly in the morning so you don’t feel cold, and you can take your shower safely. Everything is customized for you, your comfort, and your convenience. This is a home you can truly call smart!

So what is smart home automation? here is a complete guide.

What Is Smart Home Automation?

Smart home automation is about connecting and controlling your home lights, thermostat, blinds, security cameras, sound systems, and more, so they can work together automatically to provide a more smart, convenient, luxurious, and safe living experience.

Instead of manually controlling everything, you can:

Control devices from your mobile application, wall panel, or even your voice
Control your home from anywhere, when you are outside the home, or even outside the country
Set schedules for your devices.
Create routines that happen automatically
