Smart Home Automation has a Direct Impact on the Marketability of Your Home

Did you know the first “smart home” dates to the 1930s World Fairs in Chicago and New York City? This was centered around the idea of running all household functions from one central control system. They debuted the first automated house prototypes, but none of them were available on the commercial market.

The evolution of computer technology over the last 20 years has turned the idea of the Jetsons into a home automation boomtown. Home Telecom is leading the way with their Home Smart security and automation offerings! The “Attack Pack”, offered at an additional $50 discount along with a free outdoor camera and a free video doorbell, gives homeowners the ability to control their home and property no matter where they are from any connected device.

According to Transparency Market Research, who conducted an extensive study on the home automation and controls market, the home automation market was valued at $3.6 billion in 2012. By 2014, smart home device sales doubled with 1.8 million new system installations nationwide according to SmartWise, experts in home safety and security.

While the home automation market is still in its infancy and the use of proprietary platform-based systems are so far, exceeding open-source platforms in the marketplace, the young industry has been struggling with no industry standards and incompatibility - a serious issue for consumers.

The number of technologies involved in home automation has also been hard to reconcile until telecoms and broadband providers like Home Telecom, stepped up to push for more consolidated systems to provide a higher value to the end-user.

Users demand a universal solution that is easy to install and easy to operate across multiple platforms. The ability to integrate them with automation sub-systems has turned a luxury-dominated market into a mainstream market.

Smart home products and technology can control just about everything in every room of your home and every inch of your property. This enhanced new software drives up the marketability of your home and property.

Money-saving conveniences like smart door locks and window sensors tied into your home security system; energy savings from smart plugs and appliances; smart lighting with bulbs that last 10 times longer than regular bulbs and only consume 8.5 watts of electricity versus the 60 watts provided by conventional bulbs are in high demand.

A smart hub for instance, set up in a central part of your house like the living room, kitchen, or entryway, becomes the heartbeat of your home where you can control all your electronic devices. Control anything from your TV and movies to music and appliances; monitoring pets and children; and integrated robotic technology that helps control your pool cleaner, window washer, and vacuum as well as motorized controls that let you adjust the curtains, shades, or blinds. You could even fold up a Murphy bed without getting up thanks to a pushing a button on a single device.

Every room of your home and property can be surveilled and protected, while providing comfort and convenience to the end-user and that is of the utmost importance to Home Telecom.

And best of all, the benefits of home automation significantly increases the value of your home and will continue to do so well into the future.
