Home Automation Technology in 2015: What You Need to Know

Home automation technology is one of the hottest trends in 2015. From robots that automatically sweep the floors to smart doorbells that allow you to see who’s at the door just by looking at your smartphone, the list of ways to improve your lifestyle with technology seems to grow larger every day.

Here are four ways you can start enjoying the benefits of home remote control mechanisms:

1. Ditch the house keys. New technology has made Internet-enabled door locks affordable and easy to install. Some of these systems even have facial recognition software built in so that simply approaching your door unlocks it. No more fumbling for keys in the dark or having to rekey the locks if a key gets misplaced.
2. Smart thermostats. Another popular and inexpensive way to get into home automation is the smart thermostat. These units learn from your work schedule and automatically adjust the temperature depending on whether or not you are home. This saves you money on energy costs and ensures your home is always the proper temperature when you do get home from a long day at the office.
3. Controlling your home from a smartphone. Collectively referred to as the Internet of Things (IoT), modern smartphone technology allows you to control just about any aspect of your home from an iPhone or Android device. Want to know what temperature the refrigerator is set to? No problem. Want to turn on lights to make it look like you’re home even when you’re not? Also, no problem. From motorized furniture to electric doors, you can control just about anything in your home with home automation technology.
4. TV lifts. No discussion about home automation would be complete without mentioning TV lifts. A TV ceiling lift is a great way to add style to your home while keeping the TV safely out of sight when not in use. Plus, Inca TV Lifts can be used for tons of other purposes in the home from hiding a medicine cabinet in the bathroom to creating a custom poker table with a liquor storage cabinet that rises out of the table at the press of a button. Using your imagination, there is practically no limit to what our innovative TV lifts can do.

These are just a few examples of how home automation technology can improve your lifestyle while impressing your guests and ensuring the safety of your home even when you’re on vacation.
