You won’t need to run through the house every time you leave to check to see if you left lights on. You won’t need to call your neighbor after you’ve left for vacation to see if the doors are locked or to make sure the garage is closed. You won’t be nervous about coming home to a dark house after a long day. You won’t need to constantly adjust the thermostat to find the balance between comfort and efficiency. All of this can be automated and controlled remotely via a single remote or an app on your phone or tablet.

Our clients decided to build their dream home on a family owned lot on the shores of Swan Lake, in Portage Wisconsin.

For now, the home is a wonderful weekend getaway from the hustle and bustle of Chicago, where both clients live and work full time. They wanted a place they could unwind and relax or be able to entertain friends and family. They wanted to be able to monitor and control everything from Chicago.

The systems also needed to be scalable as someday this would become their full-time residence.

IoT (internet of things) devices are affordable and offer advanced integration and control of your home, making home automation an appealing option. However, until recently, smart home components and home security devices were largely separate. You had to use different apps to control different aspects of your home; one for lights, another for music, and yet another for your security system. Now you can have home automation and security in one smart solution.
