Frequently asked home automation questions

A smart home is a residence that uses internet-connected devices to enable the remote monitoring and management of appliances and systems, such as lighting, heating, security devices, and much more

Besides the comfort and simplicity a Smart Home offers, there are practical reasons to consider this route. A popular reason is the savings one can benefit from. For example, a Smart Thermostat reduces your energy consumption and once it’s time to move on to another home, having these money saving additions may increase the resale value of your home.

Another very important reason to consider is the safety and security of you and your family! This can be done by connecting lights and security cameras that can light up and record on motion to capture footage of intruders as well as other options and solutions tailored to your specific needs.

A Home Automation System will monitor and/or control home attributes such as lighting, climate, entertainment systems, and appliances. It may also include home security such as access control and alarm systems

There is a wide variety of smart home products, therefore, the best system is the one that suits the needs of the homeowner. Nowadays different devices can be integrated through different Hubs. In other words it is totally customized to your very specific needs.

Begin by looking around your home and noticing the little annoyances that you wish could be automated. If you’re constantly adjusting the thermostat, you probably need a smart thermostat. If you accidentally leave the lights on, then check out smart light bulbs. Concerned about securing your home from a break-in? Smart security cameras are the way to go.

The Smart home devices are connected with each other and can be accessed through one central point such as a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or game console. Door locks, televisions, thermostats, home monitors, cameras, lights, and even appliances such as the refrigerator can be controlled through one Home Automation System.

Smart home hubs are small and plug into your router. They don’t look like much, but they can function as the brains behind your smart home. These hubs communicate with the devices around your home, connecting them to each other and the Internet.

The big advantage to hubs is that it allows you to automate more smart home gadgets together. You can program your smart lights to turn on when security cameras see someone on your porch. Hubs also allow you to control all compatible devices within one app. So instead of toggling between Philips Hue, Arlo, and Nest apps in your phone, you can control them all within one app: SmartThings.

For the most part, no. Most smart appliances plug in just like your regular ones. If you replace a light switch with a smart one, the wiring will be similar to replacing it with a basic switch. The only exception is with some smart thermostats, which require a C-wire (that stands for common wire). These are usually black or blue wires that can bring electricity to the thermostat.

This is an important question to ask when looking to purchase a specific device. Some smart home technology has offline functionality, but others will offer app controls without Internet. For example, there are Security cameras that have an SD card, so they can continue recording footage even if the Internet isn’t working. There are also devices with battery backup in case your power is out.

If your smart home technology has no SD card or battery backup, you are likely looking at gadgets that will not work in the app if the Internet or power are out. Note that the gadgets will still work manually, but you just might not be able to control them with your phone.

Internet and power outages are usually more rare, but it’s important to point this out as a potential drawback for using devices connected to the Internet.

Yes, smart home automation can be hacked. In most circumstances, this is due to user error and ignorance. Hackers can gain access to home automation systems due to inadequate security protocols or outdated software.
