4 Home Automation Products To Make Your Home Smarter

Have you always dreamed of having a smart home, and are now looking into how to do it?  If so, it is possible to retrofit many home automation products to your existing home to make your home work for you. Here are some home automation products that you can have installed.

Smart Irrigation

Tired of dragging out the hose and the sprinkler to take care of watering your lawn? This is something that you should never have to do with a smart irrigation system. Keeping your lawn looking great can be completely automated and turn the sprinklers on and off on a schedule so that you don't have to think about it anymore. This can help you run the sprinklers in the early hours of the morning so that the water is more effective and doesn't evaporate quickly.

Smart Blinds And Window Openers

There are special controllers that can be used to completely automate control of your windows. It starts by installing smart blinds, which control when they open and close automatically. You can set detailed schedules so that you get natural light in when you're home, but the blinds are closed while you are away so others cannot see inside. Automation takes it a step further and can actually control when the windows open and close. You can use this feature to get fresh air in the morning, or even close the windows in the night so you do not wake up feeling too cold. 

Smart Locks

Smart locks can bring some peace of mind to your home as you have greater control over your locks. Not only do these locks activate by using voice commands, but you can give control to others without giving them a key that can be copied. This can allow you to let others have access to your home for specific purposes, such as a plumber that needs to come in and fix a pipe, but know that once they leave, they won't have a key that you need to get back. 

Smart Garage Door Openers

Have you ever left your garage door open during the day and did not realize it until you came home? A smart garage door opener can fix that problem for you in a couple of ways. Not only will you have remote access to control your garage door from your phone, but you can set up warnings and timers so that you do not leave it open by accident. For example, have the garage door close automatically if you leave it open for 15 minutes.
