Why Home Automation?
With home automation installed, you get to dictate how an electrical device should react, when it should react, and why it should react. You set up a schedule and the rest is automated, based on your personal preferences. At any time, you can use your iPhone, Android device or another remote control to change your home automation settings as desired. You not only save money, you also get the convenience of an overall smarter home.
When you are at home, you can use your home automation system to dim the lights when you desire. You can adjust your home’s temperature from your bed or control the volume of your whole-house audio system from any room. Or imagine having a wall/ceiling heater in your bathroom coming on automatically on chilly mornings 5 minutes before your alarm clock goes off so that it is warm when you enter.
When you are away, home automation can alert you to any events that you might want to know about immediately, like water leaks or an unexpected access to your home.

Home Automation for Safety and Security
Always on guard and at the ready, home automation provides additional security for you and your home. From a security camera’s watchful eye to a water sensor that will alert you of a costly leak, an automated home will keep you informed so that you can react at a moment’s notice. We’re all used to opening the garage door from the car, but you’ll be surprised how much safer you’ll feel coming home to an already lit home, or being able to turn on lights from your remote upon your arrival.
With a few basic products you can have your whole house light up when there is motion detected outside. Imagine your house sending you an email or text while you are away if there is motion where there shouldn’t be any. Or, you can have your security system call you if there is an alarm, which might include your typical security alarm or water detected in the laundry room or basement.
Would you like to have visitors call you from your gate rather than come to your door? Thomas can install an intercom system that provides audio or audio and video from your gate. You can have the audio integrated into your home, your Smartphone or both. Thomas can also install a security solution that opens your gate with a keypad.
