Smart Home Myths
Smart home systems are becoming more and more popular, but they’re still commonly seen as something only owned by the super-rich or by gadget junkies. When in truth, smart home devices can be extremely useful and convenient. Let’s dive in and clear up some smart home myths and talk about how they can benefit your home.
“You Don’t Need It”
Before deciding whether or not smart home devices are for you, make sure you have gone over all the possible ways they could benefit you, your family, and your home. Let’s briefly cover a couple, first off: security. Smart home security systems feature lots of different options like discrete cameras that you can access from your phone. Having home security that’s simple to use and reliable can instantly make you feel safer in your home. Also, you can set automations to help you with daily tasks, like closing the shades, the garage door, setting the alarm, turning on/off the lights, etc. These automations can save you time and energy so that you can focus on what’s important to you.
“Smart Homes Are A Fad”
Another smart home myth. Today there are about 176 million smart homes in the world, a number that is only going to continue growing. As technology continues to develop and more options emerge, people are realizing smart homes are more easily attainable than they once believed. It’s definitely safe to say smart homes are not going anywhere.
“Smart Home Hardware Is Unattractive”
Smart home technology design has come a long way since its beginning. Some might argue that certain products from industry leaders, like Lutron, look just like artwork. Smart home devices can add luxury and style to your home instead of taking it away. With in-wall speakers from Paradigm, you would barely notice you have speakers until you hear the incredible sound they produce.
