Best Home Automation Ideas for Large Properties

In more modern times, the rise in home automation systems sees us living in a world of ease and luxury. Not only does it simplify tasks for us and streamlines our day-to-day lives, but this technology also makes us feel safer and more in control.

Simply put, home automation monitors and controls functions within your house and property with the touch of a button. Usually, you are able to use one device to control multiple home attributes, whether it be a smart phone or a smart device like Amazon Alexa or Google Home.

Being able to control functions such as lighting, sound, security and temperature can be especially useful in large properties. Let’s take a closer look and what things you can automate in a home and what home automation ideas would be perfect for yours.

What Can You Automate in a Home?

Thermostat & Climate Control

From hot summers to cold winters, smart home automation can prepare your home for any kind of temperature. Whilst you’re out of the house, you can activate your air conditioning or radiators to be on by the time you get home. Feel comfortable as soon as you walk through the door.

This technology also enables you to be more energy efficient by automatically adjusting the thermostat based on the time of day, being able to adjust the temperature on a room-by-room basis to reduce waste and being able to set timers for when you’re not at home.

The IOT Dial Thermostat delivers these abilities with a sleek, slim display that can be seamlessly mounted on your wall. Working with iOS and Android, plus with a touch screen, you have the control of your property’s temperature at your fingertips. Also, with their Ecometer, you can visibly see your energy efficiency.

Front Door Entry

Getting up to answer your doorbell is no longer needed with video door entry systems. With the ability to both see and speak to visitors before letting them into the building increases security and to be able to do this without getting off your sofa enables convenience.

From large properties to smaller homes, blocks of flats to business skyscrapers, this home automation works for all kinds of buildings. Through an app on your phone or with a monitor in your home, you will be able to see and control the entry of visitors with ease.

The Vimar Video Door Entry Kits and the Wifi Camera’s work together to deliver the complete security home automation system. The LCD colour 7inch monitor is easy-to-use and the sleek design fits seamless into your home. For added security, the By-alarm RF Magnetic Contact has been designed for both doors and windows with a shock sensor that is activated when opened.

Music & Entertainment

Home automation can take your audio and video equipment to the next level. By connecting smart speakers around your home, you can amplify your surround sound, enhance your home cinema, and have access to music in every room.

Technology has advanced so these speakers can be hidden and they can be voice activated – making your life a lot easier! When paired with other smart home platforms, like Amazon Alexa and Google Home, sound can be effortlessly controlled.

The Vimar Sound Diffuser 8ohm f/hollow wall is used for playing music, voice messages and acoustic signals for calls or alarms. It can be flush mounted in a false ceiling or wall and provides quality audio throughout your home.

Lighting Automation

Smart lighting gives you more lighting options for your home, as well as convenience and other benefits. Don’t want to come home to a dark house? Automate the lights to be switched on for when you get home. Want a specific mood lighting for certain areas of your home at certain times? Dim those lights and add a setting so this can be automated every day.

Not only is the customisation a great benefit, but home lighting automation can make you more energy efficient. By only using the energy that is needed, you can reduce your electrical bills whilst being able to enjoy the light when you want and need.

Vimar has released automated home lighting options that are suitable for every kind of bulb. The IOT Connected Dimmer provides the perfect mood lighting for your home with user-friendly interface and stylish aesthetics.
