Climate Control

A home automation system facilitates energy savings by allowing you to easily schedule temperature changes throughout your home for more efficient use. Automatically turn off the air conditioning and heater when you are away from home to save on energy costs, and coordinate with other smart technology such as shades and fans to optimize your climate control. When you are trying to cool your home down, your system will close the shades and block out the sunlight that warms your home, lessening your reliance on your HVAC system. Conversely, if your home is too cool, it will open your shades to let the sunlight in.

"All Off" Command

How many mornings have you left your home in a hurry to get to an important meeting on time? Or have you ever gotten home to discover that your kids left the lights on all day? A home automation system can simplify your morning routine by turning off all the technology in your home in one fell swoop. Activate a wholly customized "all off" scene that arms your security system, turns off all the lights, puts your thermostat into eco-mode, and closes the shades with just the push of a button. Or, for an even more hands-off approach, schedule your scene to start automatically fifteen minutes after you leave for work.

Decrease Phantom Energy Drain

One way to improve energy usage is to ensure that you are as efficient as possible in only using the energy you need. Many appliances use power even when they are turned off. Your dryer, your toaster, and your microwave all waste energy throughout the day. This phantom energy drain accounts for up to ten percent of your monthly electricity bill. One solution is to unplug appliances when they aren't in use, but that is inconvenient. A home automation system will automatically disable these standby modes, saving you money on your monthly electricity bills.
