What is Home Automation?

Safety
Many aspects of home automation and integration fall under safety and security. Automated low voltage lighting control systems can create the illusion that a home is occupied when it is not - such as when you might be on vacation or at another home altogether. Varying lighting scenes can thwart a nefarious character who wants to remain unseen, undetected and not get confronted, recorded and caught by the police. Automated and triggered lighting scenes can automatically put light when and where it is needed hands free... For example a home automation system can provide a safe path of light in the middle of the night to anywhere inside or outside the home. Integrated smart security systems and camera systems stand guard to protect your family. These smarthome systems also provide remote monitoring and control to provide that extra security and control when you need it no matter where you are in the world...
