Home Automation is Great for Kids
If you are still on the fence about whether or not home automation is the right choice for your family, let us give you a few things to consider in how incorporating home automation into your house is beneficial for your kids.
Security
Above all, the added sense of security will give you peace of mind. We aren't just talking about a security system to keep out home invaders, which is important, but also the ability to keep an eye on your kids without actually being in the same room. We can set up video monitors throughout the house, so when you are in the office working, in your bedroom getting dressed, in the kitchen preparing a meal, or anywhere else, you can keep an eye on what your kids are doing and know they are safe. It also helps you know that they aren't doing anything they shouldn't be.
Education
By making your home fully automated, you are essentially turning the entire house into one big educational opportunity for your kids. Technology is a vital part of life these days, and it is incredibly important that your children know how to use a smartphone, tablet and computer. With home automation, they will use these tools to control everything in the house, from the lights to the television and more. They will be extremely comfortable with all things technology and have an advantage in school.
Convenience
Finally, home automation makes things more convenient for you as a parent. The television will automatically turn off when screen time is over. You can program soft lullaby music to automatically start playing at bedtime. In the Spring and Summer months when the sun is shining at bedtime, room darkening shades will automatically lower before bedtime so you don't have to hear "the sun is still out, it's not bedtime." Although rewarding, life as a parent is incredibly challenging, wouldn't it be nice if your house was programmed to help you out as well? If you are interested in home automation, don't hesitate to contact us for a consultation.
