1. Home automation increases safety and security
It's amazing what a motion sensor can do these days, whether it's turning on outdoor lights, recording video, or sounding the alarm in case of an intruder.
But home automation goes even further by allowing you to create a chain reaction from a single event.
Let's say someone walks up to your porch and triggers the doorbell camera's motion detector. With a smart home security system, you can have the doorbell camera record the visitor and turn on all the lights in the hallway and living room, making it seem like you are at home. You can even ask a smart speaker to start playing the sound of dogs barking.
Even smart smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors can be linked to home automation by unlocking all doors and turning on all lights when activated to make your escape easier.

2. Home automation is practical
Home automation devices are controlled by your smartphone, meaning you can adjust the system from anywhere, whether you're hours away from home or just want to sit on the couch. There are also surprisingly specialized products to make parenting or aging more easily at home.
Many smart home gadgets also pair with voice assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Home. As long as you have a compatible smart home hub, you don't even need your phone within reach. Just shout the order.
