Home automation is one of the fastest-growing sectors of the electrical industry, with more New Zealanders turning to digital options to improve their environment and lifestyle. Smart home systems offer solutions to age-old problems, from coming home to a cold, dark home in winter, to the worrying rise in burglaries.

As expert installers of home automation technology, including the renowned Lutron and Savant systems, Coastal Connections is well versed in the benefits automation has for improving your quality of living. Let’s explore some of the best reasons to turn your house into a smart home.

The top benefits of smart home automation

Clickable convenience

Manage, monitor and customise your environment at the touch of a button with home automation technology. Home automation is the integration of electronic systems installed in your home to create a highly personalised smart living experience. By integrating your lighting, heating, entertainment and more within  a network , you can access it whether you’re at home or on the way back after a long day at the office.

With integrated smartphone/app control, simply tap a few buttons, and you can come home to a warm, well-lit home, even in the depths of winter. Or, pre-program your lighting, blinds and heating controls and enjoy the fully automated experience.

Comfort and ambience

With precise control of your lighting fixtures, you can create the perfect ambiance for any occasion. A lighting control system allows you to precisely adjust the intensity and colour of your home lighting to match your mood or activity. Adjust the lighting manually, or programme preset combinations to achieve your desired aesthetic with the touch of a button.

Selective security

Improve your home security for ultimate peace of mind by going digital. From smart locks to automated lighting control, you can create a system that protects your home from accidental security breaches and opportunistic crime.

Fingerprint and pin-code lock systems provide an extra layer of home security for busy households, while smart security cameras can alert you to any movement around your building. The result? Full visibility and flexibility at your fingertips.

Simplify your mornings

Perhaps one of the most significant long-term benefits of smart home automation is the way it simplifies your life by taking over some of the most routine daily tasks.

Create the perfect morning scene, from the time your blinds open to the tone of lighting, air temperature – even the music you start your day to! With the ability to automate so much of your home and then customise it to your particular preferences, you create a home that works for you, instead of the other way around.

So sit back and enjoy the future – living made easy.
