Every era sees a different definition of luxury. Go back 100 years and you’ll find people reveling in ornate architecture, walls laden with gold, lawns paved with rarest of the jewels and stones, and whatnot. Look today and you’ll see that luxury has gone through a transformation. The modern world revels less in jewels and more in technology.

Home automation is considered the latest luxury. It not only washes the home with fascinating colors and patterns but also allows us immense luxury. Here are 6 areas in your home that could be craving home automation for a long:

1 – Let there be water – Automated Irrigation

How many times have you canceled or heard someone canceling their trip because of the plants? Gardens are meant to infuse our lives with freshness and calm; however, they also bound us. We have to stay around to water our plants (but not anymore).

Automated irrigation is an excellent technology that you can gift to yourself and your garden. You can easily set timers, amount of water, direction, etc. using a wireless network. If some of your plants don’t need water, you can turn the sprinkler off with a single tap. It is this easy.

2 – Let there be light – Automated Lighting

How wonderful would this be – you enter a space and the lights turn on by themselves. Or what about lights changing their colors according to the time of the day? A smart network is created between lights and different sources using an app and a wireless network. This lets you turn on and off the lights, and change their colors, patterns, brightness, etc., using a single mobile app. There also are smart lights that you can easily buy from home and garden websites. Smart lights add fancy to the home.

3 – Let there be eyes – Automated Security

If you have ever left for your office, stopped your vehicle midway, and recalled that you forgot to close the gate, you have a human brain and body. We all forget once to close the gate. Furthermore, there are times when you leave your home for a long trip but all through your trip you keep on ruminating about the safety of your home.

Using home automation for security is the best decision you can take for the health of your website. Using your phone, you can turn off your gates and lights, move your CCTV cameras, set an alarm, call the police, and do many other things that can help you secure your home.

4 – Thermal Automation

We waste huge time and energy using the traditional ways of heating or cooling our home and water. Using home automation, you can easily control the temperature throughout your home. Also, you can set your geyser on from bed. This will help you save some time that you waste waiting for the water to heat up.

5 – Leak Detection

Every year, thousands of people lose their lives and money because of failure to detect a leak in time. Leakages happen almost everywhere. However, sometimes these leakages get left unnoticed and work like some slow poison. For example, a water leakage that is undetectable can slowly seep into the foundation and damage it. With time, the material used in the foundation can corrode, putting the whole building at risk.

There are many leak detectors that work on water, smoke, fire, hazardous gas, etc. You may buy these easily from sites like eBay at a good price. These detectors use sensors to learn about any leakage and thus turn off the flow of gas or water in time. Leak detection automation might cost you some initially but in the long run, it always saves you a fortune.

Home automation is going to be the trademark of the future. The earlier you get it, the better.
