Home Automation

Automation refers to the ability to program and schedule events for the devices on the network.

Home automation gives you access to control devices in your home from a mobile device anywhere in the world. Home automation more accurately describes homes in which nearly everything—smart light switches, appliances, smart outlets, heating and cooling systems—hook up to a remotely controllable network.

From a home security perspective, this also includes your alarm system, and all of the doors, windows, locks, smoke detectors, surveillance cameras and any other sensors that are linked to it.

Once you start to understand the possibilities of home automation scheduling, you can come up with any number of useful and creative solutions to make your life better.

With the right home automation system, you can use any Internet-connected device to view and control the system itself and any attached devices.

Monitoring apps can provide a wealth of information about your home, from the status of the current moment to a detailed history of what has happened up to now.
You can check your security system’s status, whether the lights are on, whether the doors are locked, what the current temperature of your home is and much more.

Home automation also provides an added benefit of switching appliances off to protect against power surges when there is load shedding. Home automation can also be used if you have solar installed to divert excess solar electricity generated to for example your geyser or pool pump once your batteries has been charged full.
