At Integración AV you can make your dream of a smart home that meets all your expectations come true. We also tell you about its advantages and main features.
What is a smart home?
A smart home is based on automating the home’s functions thanks to the integration of all the home’s technological devices into a single system. This way, the comfort of the home’s occupants improves by being able to control any action in the house without needing to move from where they are.
A smart home may look like any ordinary home on the outside, but inside it has a network of connections between the system that allows whoever holds the controls to manage the home’s functions without being there. No matter the distance, keeping track of the house from a cell phone is possible.
Advantages of a smart home
A smart home is the future for everyone because it prepares us for the technological changes that will keep appearing in our daily lives. Undoubtedly, today’s homes will not be the same in one or two decades; that is why it is important to adapt to new, more dynamic lifestyles full of advantages in which everything can be managed with a few clicks from mobile devices.
Comfort
The first advantage of the smart home is comfort. With everything connected, movement within the home is reduced, since there is no need to stand up to turn on lights or a television or to open the garage door for your vehicle. For people with mobility problems it is very useful because it considerably reduces their effort.
Security
Security is a great advantage of a smart home. By including electronic systems for the lock, alarms, fingerprint or code access and the ability to install video cameras, the home becomes an ideal space to feel protected and safe from any possible intruder.
Efficiency
Another advantage of this type of home is the energy savings they represent. By being able to control the intensity of the lights and check whether any of them were left on when leaving the house, an efficiency is created that is reflected in lower consumption costs. With the integration system it is also possible to check which other appliances are plugged in wasting electricity, as well as to keep strict control of the air conditioning or heating when needed.
Adaptation
Having a smart home may seem distant and to require a large initial investment. But the reality is that the process can be started in stages, since most of the components to install in the home are compatible with each other and work in a network through the Wi-Fi signal, so there is no need to uninstall in order to update the connections or set up all the systems at the same time.
Property value
The use of technology to improve the home is known as home automation, and it has become a great attraction for enhancing homes. If you think long term or believe that at some point you will be willing to sell your house, installing a smart system for your property can be very useful. Electronic integration increases the property’s value because it makes it more comfortable for the person who decides to buy it, maximizing the investment and making it an added value that other homes do not have.
Parts of a smart home
- Lock: You can open it with a key like any other door, but they also offer the option to open with a code or fingerprint, making it much more secure.
- Security cameras: They connect to the home’s Wi-Fi network, and you only need to download an app where you can see audio and video from anywhere in the world. Some cameras can also rotate as we wish and show us the whole house
- Blinds and blackout control: Being able to lower or raise the blinds from your cell phone or a remote control will make your space give you more comfort and pleasure.
- Light control: If you left a light on or you don’t want the house to look completely dark at night while you are traveling, it’s very easy: with our system you can turn lights on and off from your cell phone.
- Intercom: Perfect for homes where visitors can communicate with the owner; this system can integrate cameras to see who is at the door and also open it if you want the person to come in.
- Smart appliances: A refrigerator that lets you know which food has run out, what the weather is like and lets you post digital notes; the LG InstaView ThinQ is designed to be part of a smart home.
