Smart homes make life more convenient. You can walk into your kitchen with your hands full of shopping bags, but you can ask your home automation assistant to turn on the light via voice command. For hosting parties, smart homes level up entertainment as well. You can effortlessly make your house vibrate by asking your smart speaker or tapping your phone to turn your party lights and favourite playlist on!
Also, not only do these high-tech homes heighten your security, but they also allow you to be a more responsible homeowner. During vacations, you can easily set your home automation system to Away mode, and it will control your lights, speakers, and security system to make it look like you are at home even when you are not!
