Roughly 45 million smart home devices will be operating in American homes as of 2020. Voice assistance technology such as Siri or Alexa will most likely have about 2 billion users by 2021. By 2022, it's estimated that the market for smart homes will exceed 53 billion dollars. Now more than ever, homeowners are seeking the services of a home automation company. Here are some of the advantages of home automation, according to SafeWise.
Each year, 2.5 million burglaries occur, and homes without a security system in place are 300% more likely to be targeted and burglarized. Smart home security acts as a crime deterrent.
For this reason, a great deal of home technology falls under the home security category. These devices are very popular with homeowners because they want to be safer and make their property more secure. For example, automatic lighting and motion sensors discourage criminals and make it safer for people to enter their homes after dark. In addition, security cameras can monitor the inhabitants of your home, including intruders.
Since smart home technology automatically performs routine tasks, the result is very convenient for homeowners.
One example is the use of smart window treatments. According to Houzz's 2016 survey, 2% of recently renovated homes have smart curtains or blinds.
In addition, many smart products are compatible with each other, so you can set triggers between the devices to automatically regulate everyday processes, such as setting smart locks to turn smart lighting on when you open your front door.
Almost 70% of homes have outdoor living areas, and the interior atmosphere of a home is even more important. Devices that are connected can deliver intelligent lighting, sound, and temperature to create an enjoyable living environment. This is extremely important to consumers, who stream 1 billion hours of content on Netflix weekly.
Smart light bulbs and thermostats are energy savers that reduce utility costs.
Certain home automation technologies can also monitor water usage, which helps lower monthly water bills.
More than 90% of smart-home owners state that they'd recommend this technology. Because of the safety, convenience, and energy-saving benefits that smart home automation offers, talking your options over with a technician from a reputable home automation company is well worth considering.
