What is a Smart Home?

A smart home is a residence equipped with devices that can be controlled remotely via an internet connection using a mobile phone, tablet, or other networked device. These connected devices can communicate with one another and can be commanded by a central hub or “gateway”.

Smart homes offer convenience, energy efficiency, security, and comfort through automated systems that manage lighting, climate, entertainment systems, appliances, and security. They can learn your habits and make adjustments automatically to enhance your lifestyle.

With the right smart home installation in Melbourne, you can control everything from your lights and thermostat to your security cameras and door locks—all from your smartphone or through voice commands.
