People are interested in smart home technology to automate their home and the daily chores than ever before! Be it the newspapers, magazines, blogs or social media, there is a buzz around control automation technology. This is a busy age and people are trying to manage some time for the things they love by automating some of the functions at home after coming back from a hectic day at office. However, though it seems one of the hottest trends of 2013, many people still harbor some misconceptions about home automation. Though we are talking about it, everyone does not necessarily know what automation in today's date is all about.
Let's run through some of the common misunderstandings and clear up a few things about the automation technology:
'Installing smart home technology at home is far too expensive' - Even until a few years ago, home automation was a costly affair which could be only exercised by the rich. More or less, even until this day, automation can be a costly affair if you do not do a thorough research before making the final decision. However, with more and more intelligent control solutions hitting the market by different manufacturers and increased demand, prices have dropped to a considerable extent. You can even get the solution customized to your likes and preferences. Start your research and you will be surprised to see it for yourself!
'The solution is bulky and installation is too much work' - People have a misconception that they have to rewire the entire house if they are to install the smart automation system. However, the truth is otherwise. The advanced systems can easily be retrofitted in existing buildings if you have not installed home automation while building the house. The lights and devices are controlled wirelessly with no room of messy wiring all around the house.
'Home automation is too complicated to use' - The technology of control automation is advanced and specifically designed to be user friendly. Gone are the days when they used to be bulky and overtly complicated to use. The ready to deploy and easy to use solutions can be operated by anyone between the ages of eight to eighty.
'It's only an unnecessary and extravagant luxury' - Many people think that automating the lights, electrical devices and entertainment and media units are sheer luxury and has only the showy side to it. But if you think practically, controlling your HVAC with sensors or automating your lights can save you a lot of energy and money on your bills in the long run. With updated security features, you can also feel safe with your family and assets.
'The technology is difficult and would require a lot of maintenance' - Though the technology is highly-customizable, you should not assemble lots of different components made by lots of different manufacturers. These may lead to compatibility and interface issues. Before installing the system, look for a low-maintenance and affordable manufacturer and try to install your smart home automation by one control system.
