Home Automation
Home Automation Creates a Lifestyle of Comfort and Convenience
Imagine walking into your home and the lights turn on, the temperature adjusts to your comfort level, drapes open, and music begins to play. It sounds like something out of a science-fiction movie. However, with home automation technology, this type of convenience can become a reality.
Home automation is generally defined as technology that gives you remote or automatic control of appliances and devices around your home. An automated home controls security, temperatures, audio/video, lighting, and more. It offers the homeowner convenience, energy savings, and safety. Whether you automate a little or a lot, turning your residence into a smart home offers many advantages to individuals and families that enjoy a technologically advanced home.
Convenience: The most obvious advantage to automating your home is convenience. Having your home programmed to perform routine functions automatically saves the homeowner time and effort. You are able to control many components in your home from an easy-to-use color touch panel, remote, or customized keypad. Total control of your home is always at your fingertips. Imagine getting ready for bed each night and all you have to do is push a button to turn off all of the lights, close the drapes, arm your security system, and turn down your thermostat. This type of convenience makes home automation an appealing option for many homeowners.
Energy savings: Home automation technology makes it easier than ever to reduce your monthly energy bills. By managing the energy-consuming devices and appliances in your home, you are able to reduce the amount of energy you consume. This technology allows homeowners to regulate the operation of lights, HVAC system, entertainment components, water heater, and many other household devices so that they are only on when needed. When leaving the home, there is no worry about wasting energy by leaving lights on or forgetting to turn the thermostat up or down. This type of automation is not only good for your wallet, it is good for the environment as well.
Safety: Home automation means that you never have to come home to a dark house. You can program your exterior lights to turn on as you enter the driveway and your interior lights to turn on as you enter the door. When you leave town, you can have your lights turn on and off throughout the day to appear as if someone is home. Plus, your system will notify you via email or phone call if something happens while you are away. If you should happen to forget to set your security system before leaving, you can log in from a phone or through the Internet to arm it.
Many homeowners begin by automating one or two devices in their home. Once they realize how much home automation increases the comfort and convenience of their home, they continue to automate even more. If creating a smart home interests you, be sure to work with a qualified installer who offers experience and a commitment to quality. A professional technician will guide you toward a home automation system that makes the most sense for your lifestyle.

How many home automation systems are deployed in people's homes?
I'm looking for information about how many home automation systems are currently deployed, and how many are expected by 2010.
there are many deployed it depends on how much u can spare for home automation.
This will become a tred in the near future to automate entire home from opening doors to starting a TV and switching on Lights etc.
