How Does Home Automation Work?
While at first this technology may appear overwhelming, it is not as complicated as one may think. Once a professional installation team, such as ourselves, has hooked up the system the rest is fairly straightforward. Essentially, every home automation system is controlled by an easily programmable ‘coordinator device’, which is basically the system’s brain. The coordinator device is controlled by a smartphone or computer which the homeowner communicates their commands through. The coordinator device then receives these commands from the smartphone or computer and transmits the message to, for example, the indoor lighting system, which turns the lights on. Homeowners can program their devices to operate on established schedules and timers, or can control their system manually from their smartphone or computer.
