How to Automate the Home

What does it mean to automate your home? There was a time when having an automated home meant you had a colored console TV and a microwave. Thankfully, those days are long gone. Today, automating your home means constructing a network of systems that connect every part of your home with every other part. An automated home is a high-tech, multi-faceted, multi-gadgeted labyrinth of connectivity that represents the ultimate in convenience and comfort. But how do you get from an unautomated home to an automated one? Do you have to spend gobs of money and oodles of time and effort designing, arranging, and mapping out all the intricate parts of your smart home? No way! The fact is that automation comes in all different proportions, preferences, and even prices. From whole-house automation, to home theater or home audio installation, you don’t have to exhaust your kids’ college funds to upgrade your home from the 20th to the 21st century.
