Home Automation

Home Automation is a system that allows you to monitor, secure and control your home and from a remote location.

What is Home Automation

Home automation is a security system designed to keep your home safe from intruders. In addition, it can be used as a home automation system to control the lights, temperature and other devices in your house with one simple device.

With the help of this automated alarm system, a person can actually control all their devices from one centralized hub. This way you can monitor your house remotely, no matter where you are, and received alerts for any potential issues.

You’re probably asking yourself “How Does it Work”?

Well, it works thanks to wireless technology. Now even everyday tasks, such as turning on and off lights, is as simple as clicking a button on your phone or tablet. Which makes it especially helpful for people who have trouble getting around their house or yard at night due to disability or illness.

Home automation systems save energy by allowing you to program the temperature in your home for when you are not there and for setting the perfect temperature for when you arrive home.  On top of that, you can take control of your electricity by remotely automating, scheduling, dimming or turning lights on and off-indoors and outdoors.

It can also increase your security and can help protect your home from intruders, providing a heightened sense of security. Features such as motion detectors and door and window sensors can alert you to any suspicious activity. ADT smart home products can arm and disarm your security system.

Key Components of an ADT Home Automation System

There are sensors that detect any changes in the environment and notify you through a mobile app on your cell phone or a command panel, your command center.  A typical smart home setup would include a command center that manages all the devices in your house. Usually a small box with a screen on it that plugs into your modem or router. The hub would then communicate with all the other devices in your house – such as lights, thermostats, and door locks – and give them commands to turn them on or off. Arm, disarm or check your home automation system status from virtually anywhere. Connect and control your security, lighting, locks, thermostats, cameras, and more remotely with the highly intelligent ADT Command app.
