Home automation is nothing new, but a recent boom in smart home tech has thrust it straight into the spotlight. Smart home kits, sensors and gadgets have been a dominating presence at CES for the past two years, with big names like Apple, Google, GE and Microsoft right there in the thick of it. That's not surprising, given that market experts predict that the smart home's market share will be worth tens of billions within the next few years.

Like the Nest, the Honeywell system is easiest to install if you have a C wire, according to owners. It is easy to program, has customizable color display choices (it can match your walls), responds to humidity levels and even shows the weather forecast for your area. It has options similar to a standard thermostat and so much more, with screens and controls “for everything,” as one owner put it.

The unit can also be run by app or automation hub. It works with four schedule points in each day: wake, leave, return and sleep. One reviewer said that the Honeywell is a better fit for real life than learning thermostats.

At Consumer Reports, we put our experts in the labs and our investigative reporters to work to see which products can make your life easier, which fail at their basic function, and which may leave you vulnerable. Our picks and pans are based on months of testing, and analysis of benefits, payback time, up-front and ongoing costs, and other concerns. Here are our findings:

With the level of automation available in Indianapolis homes today, reproducing the perfect scene in a room can be as easy as pressing a button. For instance, a “theater” scene might lower the shades, turn down the temperature 3 degrees, turn down the lights, and turn on theater equipment. “Entertain” might dim lights to 60%, turn on the whole house audio system, and turn on the fireplace. The options extend just about as far as the imagination, and Digitech can work with our designers and clients to create scenes that turn their vision into reality.

Beyond entertainment and convenience, a smart home can also provide security and energy efficiency. Our home security and surveillance systems will tie in to your home automation systems and give you peace of mind whether you’re at home in Carmel, IN or out for the weekend in Westfield, IN. You can have control over all of the locks on the house, be able to connect to webcams to check in on your belongings, or even sound the alarm if you need to. In addition to security, a smart home is a more efficient home. With smart thermostats that can be programmed to follow cycles throughout the day, or automatically turn down the house when you leave, you’ll find that the energy efficiency of your home will increase dramatically, because the thermostat will only make it comfortable inside your home when it needs to, saving costs on heating or cooling empty space.

This is a lot to take in. With home automation, there are so many possibilities that it’s hard to imagine what all could be accomplished. To give you an idea of where to begin, take a look at some of the following possibilities:

Automatically switch on lights when entering the home

Geared toward Apple users, this home automation company offers a low-cost solution for dynamic control over your domain. It runs on Mac OS X systems as well as iOS smartphones and tablets and the iTunes media player. Requiring professional installation, this sophisticated automation system controls all aspects of your home, including opening and shutting doors, randomizing lights to come on and off at various times, setting your coffee pot to brew, and running your security and HVAC systems. Its powerful remote access system allows it to run from your office, the next state, or from any corner of the globe, so you can let your house (and thieves) know you're present in the home.

Automatically switch on lights and appliances via Key-Fob Switch from a distance of 100 m

Smart climate control makes it easy for you to set the perfect temperature of your home regardless of the season or other conditions. Create a comfortable environment by making adjustments from the same touch screen you use to control your lights, shades, and home entertainment system. Monitor and control your thermostats from a mobile device if you left your AC blasting when left home or turn up the heat before you return on a cold day. Heating and cooling your home can be expensive and our climate control solutions save you energy with programmed settings and integration to a home automation system.

OEM Electronic Manufacturing Vendor Multilayer SMT PCB As... New
China OEM Electronic Manufacturing Vendor Multilayer SMT PCB Assembly
I'm not really sure I can justify the hefty price tag. I'm just a bit more practical. To give you an idea of my lifestyle, I don't own a Rolex or any expensive piece of jewelry other than my engagement ring. I proudly sport a Swatch watch. I drive a Honda Odyssey. And my personal cell phone at the moment is a year-old Moto G, purchased unlocked on Amazon for $229 in the US.

Cellular radio backup: If you could simply cut the broadband connection to defeat a security system, it wouldn’t be much good, would it? Any good security system will include a 3G cellular backup that can be used in case your broadband connection drops. You should also carefully consider the battery backup consideration above, which is essential for dealing with power outages and is a standard feature on most security hubs.

Professional monitoring: If you don’t want to monitor your own security system 24/7, you’ll at least want the option to engage with a professional security company that can keep tabs on it for you when you’re out on walkabout. These invariably cost extra, which leads to our final consideration…

Service plan costs: Service plan costs vary widely from system to system, and many vendors offer a range of plans to choose from. Some systems will work without a service plan, allowing you to self-monitor. Some require a plan to function at all. Also note that lower-tier service plans might not include professional monitoring (Lowe’s offers one of the least expensive, at $14.95 per month). Price out service plans carefully before you pull the trigger.

I'll admit that I do get phone envy from time to time, especially when it comes to camera quality. But is it enough for me to spend $1,149? I'm not sure I can stomach that.

Home automation and the ability to build a truly smart home that gets to work with minimal input from you is now more accessible and affordable than ever before.

Until recently, the idea of home automation was relatively unfamiliar to most people. However, as more products and technologies become more easily accessible, homeowners across the country are upgrading their homes.

So what is home automation? Simply put, home automation puts control of basic home systems and appliances into the hands of the homeowner and provides access from a remote point – like a smartphone app, or at a centralized unit inside the home. Just like some of the futuristic technology seen on television in shows like “The Jetsons” or “Star Trek”, it’s now possible to control things like your home temperature, lighting, and even security systems with the touch of a screen, the swipe of a finger and the sound of your voice.

If the idea of a smart, automated home sounds too “techy” for your tastes, or you think these kinds of products probably cost an arm and a leg, think again. The future is now and it’s completely accessible. Plus, there are a lot of hidden benefits to automating your home that you might not have thought about before.

If you’re starting out from scratch and don’t know how automation might look in your home on a daily basis, it can be useful to think of the kinds of tasks you currently do on a typical day and how often you change things within your home environment depending on what you’re doing and when you’re doing it.

When an industry is increasing with such speed, it is a challenge for the average consumer to keep up with new developments and sort through the growing offerings of products. Here at Freshome, we spent hours trying to simplify this for you by looking for smart home interfaces that are easy to use and install, and systems that cover the gamut of options available for home automation.

New technology is great, but we wanted to make sure that it was actually beneficial and added value to your home. We also added a couple of things that are just plain cool, as well as some general tips for a lot of our categories that will be beneficial regardless of the brand you choose.

Outside of the top three, RTI was the only other product in our review that had everything we looked for in a good home automation system, helping it earn a Top Ten Reviews Excellence Award. MONI, ADT and Vivint get honorable mention as home automation companies with extensive dealer networks, and they are the only products in our review with lifetime warranty coverage.

Finding the right verdict in this evaluation was tricky. Part of the appeal of professional home automation systems is that they can automate almost anything in your home, which is why we can’t make solid recommendations on the hardware capabilities of a particular system over another. However, whole-house automation systems offer a more complete smart home experience than home security systems. Home security systems are a better way to get into professional automation for most people since they don’t require complex installation and programming. In the end, the best advice we can give you is to use our reviews to choose the best smart home system for your needs.

Where do you spend most of the time in your home? When and doing what? What do your morning and evening routines typically look like? How about at the weekends?

Carrying out this simple exercise and asking these questions will identify the most commonly occurring tasks which are perfect for automating. Not only will these likely be the best candidates for automation, but the chances are high that there’s a smart device out there to do the job.

For example, maybe your morning routine looks something like this:

An automated pool or spa system provides added convenience and enjoyment whether it’s your primary in The Woodlands or a second residence across the country. No more running outside to see if the pool is the right temperature. You can turn on the heater or the cleaner as you drive home so your pool or spa is ready for you to take a dip after work or the long journey to get to your vacation home. Maintenance is easier and equipment life is extended with preset programming for pumps, cleaners, lighting, waterfalls, temperature and monitoring. Operate water features including fountains and waterfalls from the same control interface or have them intelligently programmed to suit your lifestyle.

Some devices go even further, offering full-fledged features within their apps that go way beyond demo territory. The video above is a great example of how you can automate your gardening routine without needing to buy anything.

Control4, our Silver Award winner, is the top residential brand in our review. The system integrates software and hardware seamlessly without the need for a dealer to do intensive programming. This helps bring down installation costs while also creating a capable system that can be expanded by the dealer as your needs change. Control4 offers a strong selection of in-house hardware as well as support for hundreds of other manufacturers. Control4’s Composer Home Edition is home automation software that lets you create schedules and custom programs without calling the dealer.

A home security system is made up of sensors and controllers. Home security equipment may include fire and carbon monoxide detectors. Smart home residents are able to remotely arm or disarm their wireless home security system by phone or computer. Additionally, some home security companies provide users with battery and cellular back-up in the event of a power outage or network disconnection. Real-time text and email alerts can be sent to the primary user on the smart home account to notify them of unusual activity on their property.

Some smart home management systems may be equipped with highly advanced home automation and home security features. Users can then easily control appliances, audio and video entertainment systems, lighting and room temperature from remote locations, anytime they want. Smart home technology transforms residences into homes of the future. Interested in making your home smart? You may wish to consider a smart home solution that fits your home automation, energy management and home security needs.

IFTTT support: Many top smart home systems support IFTTT, the simple scripting system that lets you connect devices that otherwise wouldn’t be. For example, you could use IFTTT to turn all the lights in the house blue if a water leak is detected by your smart hub—even if it can’t speak directly to the lighting system itself. Stringify is a similar—and perhaps more sophisticated—service, but it has not yet gained as much traction as IFTTT.

Wired vs. wireless hub connection: Many smart hubs must connect to your wireless router via an ethernet cable, which limits your placement and, of course, requires a free ethernet port on your router. That can be an issue with the new generation of puck-like mesh routers that have just two ethernet ports (Eero, Google Wifi, TP-Link Deco M5, et al). A smaller number of hubs are wireless and can be placed anywhere in range of the router, increasing your flexibility.

Our Bronze Award winner, Savant, has a design with a lot of visual appeal. The sleek, glossy hardware evokes the same visual cues as Apple products. Not only does Savant Pro have a full line of professional products, but it also has a few DIY smart home products with an entertainment focus. For example, the Savant Remote comes with a high-resolution touchscreen, a simple button layout and voice control, something not found in many universal remotes. The advantage of the DIY remote is that you can get a feel for Savant systems before committing to a full professional installation.

Home automation is an ever-expanding market that is growing by leaps and bounds. Let’s face it — people like their technology, and they like to feel in control. Put those two together, and it’s no wonder home automation is projected to be a $21.6 billion global industry by 2020, according to Transparency Market Research.

This burgeoning industry offers a choice selection of products from respected manufacturers. We’ve compiled a list of the best home automation systems available and ranked them based on their offerings in a variety of categories. Our evaluation focuses exclusively on professionally installed automation systems, sometimes called smart home as a service or SHaaS. However, if you want a more-affordable, less-complete option, check out our DIY home automation review.

LiveWatch makes it easy to turn your house into a convenient and secure smart home. This is accomplished courtesy of a full range of mobile apps and our 24/7 support. Our home automation system is available as part of our top-of-the-line Total Home plan. To set up a smart home system, you can contact us by phone and we’ll be happy to answer any questions that you might have. Another option is to click “get a quote” and answer the online questions. Having a secure and automated home couldn’t be easier!

Creating scenes and schedules can enhance your lifestyle and help you save money and energy without any change in your daily routine. A “Goodnight” scene could entail having the doors lock and the lights shut off when you arm your security system at night. A schedule might be created to have the porch and hallway lights on and the thermostat set to a specific temperature an hour before you leave the office so you arrive to a comfortable, well-lit home.

The Insteon Hub has actually been around for a while. It started off on rocky ground so it has a reputation for being crappy, but their products have made big improvements over the past few years. Are they the best? Maybe, maybe not. Are they bad? Not at all.

Insteon products include thermostats, wall outlets and switches, door locks, energy monitors, motion sensors, leak sensors, wireless cameras, and more. Worth checking out if you want a simple hub with a wide network of available products.

Speaker stands and mounting hardware are not part of the package. If you have a very large space, you may not have enough speaker wire to install the SoundTouch 520. Also, this unit comes with only one HDMI cable, so you’ll need to get more if you have multiple components.

That fancy Bosch dishwasher? It should last on average about seven to 12 years. A 65-inch flat screen TV won't be replaced for at least seven years on average. Even your $1,300 (£1,249, AU$1,900) Apple Macbook will last you three to five years. By comparison, most American consumers keep their phones only 18 months to two years.

But of course, owning a luxury product says something about the owner and what he or she values.

Smart hubs are designed to control multiple devices, even ones from different manufacturers. A good one will integrate every smart thing in your home into a single, seamless home automation experience, and offer consolidated controls within a single app.

Typically, a hub will include multiple radios for popular smart home protocols like Z-Wave and ZigBee -- the wireless "languages" of smart home gadgetry. This allows the hub to "talk" to everything in its native language, then translate that info into a Wi-Fi signal that you (and your router) can understand and put to use. With the right hub, you'll be able to expand your system dramatically without things getting too complicated.

From smart light bulbs and thermostats that think for themselves to Bluetooth door locks, wireless security cameras, and all manner of sensors, today’s home technology can sound awfully sophisticated while actually being a messy hodgepodge of gizmos and apps. Whether you call it home automation or the connected home, installing all this stuff in your house is one thing. Getting it to work together smoothly and with a single user interface can be something entirely different.

You can easily design your smart home according to your individual needs without any previous knowledge. The home automation functions on the building block principle: Select the devices you would like to use in your living spaces from the available devolo Home Control devices. The heart of your smart home is the devolo Home Control Central Unit, which you can simply plug into any electrical socket. Subsequently program all devices used via the Central Unit. These are just some of the possibilities offered to you for your own intelligent home:

Switch off lighting, heating and electrical devices via the Wall Switch from your favourite spot

Automatic heating control via timer or Room Thermostat

August Smart Lock tops the list of home automation companies that protect your fort by offering an attractive, high-quality, and convenient automated door-lock system. The company understands that home automation technology has to be made easy to install and use, which is exactly what August Smart Lock does . It works with the existing deadbolt on a door and provides the power of an app to control home-lock mechanisms from your phone. The company even offers a Connect accessory that solves the problem so many connected locks experience of being out of range. Priced at $250 plus $50 for the Connect accessory, it delivers the most effective automated locking system based on the value of its retrofit capability, user management convenience, and flexibility for both iPhone and Android devices. Note: I also tried out the Lockitron (after waiting two years) and I found the August lock a lot better.

Maximum control with Smoke Detector, Motion Sensor and Door Contact

Alarm goes off, bathroom lights go on, grab a coffee from the kitchen, leave the house and lock the door.

All of these things can be automated in a seamless way that means you never have to think about any of it, buying you valuable time to prep for that big meeting or check you’ve not forgotten the things that really matter in the day (both of which an automated home smart system like Alexa can also help you with).

Thanks to incredible advances in smart technology over recent years, automating the devices that make up your home ecosystem is now becoming a reality.

If you’re just starting out in the world of home automation and connected smart home devices, it’s a good idea to begin with the fundamentals.

When we talk about the term ‘smart home’, we’re really referring to a pretty wide range of connected devices, systems, appliances and gadgets which, in one way or another, communicate with each other, your home and of course the most important element of the whole setup, you – the user.

Defining home automation on the other hand can sometimes be a little less clear-cut.

Referring to something slightly more specific, true home automation applies to the devices and appliances in your home that can be setup to work autonomously without your input (after initial setup of course).

There are still a whole load of devices that fall within the smart home category, which while not fully automated in their own right, certainly take a lot of the effort out of getting things done and offer a level of semi-autonomous operation.

Whether you’re looking to automate individual household items such as your lights or the door locks within your home, or are thinking of a fully connected system of always-communicating, intelligent devices, the possibilities for getting started with an incredible home automation system are now virtually limitless.

If you’re new to the scene, deciding on the right devices for your requirements and cutting through the crazy amount of jargon out there can feel overwhelming.

So how do you filter out the noise, get to grips with the basics and start building a hands-free smart home that does it all?

That’s where we come in.

In this definitive guide to automated and smart devices, we’ll walk you through the essentials for becoming a master of home automation, from the types of things you can automate in your home (and how they work together), all the way down to the individual smart home devices that make it all happen (as well as our thoughts on the very best of them).

With a little research and perhaps a bit of trial and error, you can build a fairly comprehensive smart home setup if that's what you want. On the other hand, there's nothing wrong with just picking one or two devices that make sense to you and leaving it at that.

For many consumers, that sort of simple, scaled-back approach makes far more sense than a larger, more elaborate setup. Understand your needs, find the devices that meet them, and you'll have an automated home that's smart in more ways than one.

Another way to give your automated home a brain is to unite your devices behind a singular software platform. That's what Apple's attempting to do with HomeKit, an iOS-based software architecture that'll let you manage multiple third-party devices through your iPhone, with voice control via Siri.

You can also find ways of experimenting with home automation that don't cost anything at all. Many smart devices offer demo modes within their apps that'll let you get the gist of things before you buy anything. Taking things for a test-drive can help you decide whether or not the product fits your needs, and it might also inspire a few new ideas for how you can put it to use.

Your Wi-Fi network is vulnerable. Even if the security settings on your home’s router limit access to devices you’ve authorized, you need to be just as careful about the security settings of each device you add to the network, whether it’s a whole-house suite of products controlling lighting, security, and smoke/CO alarms, or just an Internet-enabled fork. Otherwise the device could allow hackers—and whomever they sell your data to—access to other connected products in your home, such as the computers on your home network. In one cyberattack, about 100,000 products, such as routers, TVs, and at least one connected refrigerator, sent out more than 750,000 phishing e-mails over two weeks, according to security consulting firm Proofpoint. The blame: weaknesses in their basic protections or setup. Proofpoint would not disclose the model of refrigerator, suspecting the user hadn’t changed the default password, but not every smart device is even designed for high security.

The Honeywell did have its critics, who cautioned against its flimsy plastic back plate and mounting tabs that are not 100 percent secure. As with all smart thermostats, there is an allowable temperature swing with the Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat as well.

Customer service proved frustrating for a fair number of users, but an equal number stated how helpful and responsive it was for them. One other minor note with the Honeywell: the touch screen requires a little more pressure than we have all become accustomed to with our smartphones and tablets.

The first function, sense, is arguably the most important, which is why you'll see so many smart home gadgets with built-in sensors for things like motion and temperature, as well as gadgets dedicated exclusively to monitoring them. These devices are the nervous system of the smart home -- they're able to sense the environment around them in some way, providing vital context for the decisions your automated home is going to make.

But the smart home is evolving, and hubs are starting to feel a bit of a squeeze. Worthwhile standalone devices like the Amazon Echo can wrangle gadgets in a lot of the same ways as dedicated hubs -- and developers are falling over themselves to hop on board. Some have all but left the traditional hubs in the dust. Manufacturers have taken notice, and some have started working to integrate hub technology into existing devices with standalone appeal -- things like appliances, routers, and smart TVs. As a result, don't be surprised if the next generation of hubs are essentially invisible.

Automating your home doesn't need to be daunting. On the contrary, the barrier to entry has never been lower. Today's tech is clamoring for mainstream approval, with an emphasis on ease of use. Competition is bringing prices down, and legitimate platforms are starting to emerge. In sum, it's a great time to give home automation a shot.

There's no question that the iPhone X offers more features, a newer design and more cutting-edge technology than less expensive phones.

Aside from its looks, the display is noticeably better than other iPhones. And there are loads of other premium features, including wireless charging, an improved dual-lens camera system, a faster processor, better battery life and a new facial recognition feature for unlocking the device and Apple Pay.

Keep in mind that the iPhone X isn't a device for the masses. It's a luxury item. And like other luxury models of utilitarian products, like watches or cars, you have to think about how much you're willing to spend for style, comfort and functionality. For instance, some people will spend $10,000 or more on a Rolex while others will spend $50 for a Swatch watch. They both tell time.

Some people might say that a new premium phone is worth the splurge. After all, it's a device you use every day. It's arguably the most personal possession you own. You use it to capture intimate family moments. It knows your schedule and tracks your whereabouts. And in comparison, it's really not that much more than many other products you've likely come to depend on in your home, like a nice laptop or big screen TV. Even a super nice Bosch dishwasher can run you almost as much as the new iPhone X.

Always on guard and at the ready, home automation provides security, safeguarding your home. From a security camera’s peering eye to a water sensor that will alert you of a possible costly leak, an automated home keeps your property under surveillance so you can react at a moment’s notice.

The top performers in our review are Crestron, the Gold Award winner; Control4, the Silver Award winner; and Savant, the Bronze Award winner. Here’s more on choosing a provider to meet your needs, along with detail on how we arrived at our ranking of nine systems.

As a general rule, a dealer is going to be your first, and maybe only, point of contact with some home automation companies. Dealers have an advantage of being available to make service calls to your home but often charge a fee to do so. Since we can’t evaluate all of the thousands of dealers across the U.S., we looked at the companies directly to see what they offer in terms of direct customer support. If there’s even the faintest glimmer of direct customer support, we gave the company extra credit.

Our evaluation is designed to provide you with useful information that helps you decide which system to use in your home. For our home automation system evaluations, we researched each manufacturer’s offerings and looked at how the company communicates with its customers. The companies have no input on our evaluation methodology, and our rankings were not shared with them prior to publication.

With home automation systems, you can forever banish concerns of overly expensive utility bills and stop wondering whether or not you locked the front door. These high-tech solutions can help make your home into a smart home. In fact, a smart home system can control every light, appliance and compatible peripheral in your home.

We're all used to opening the garage door from the car, but you'll be surprised how much safer you'll feel coming home to a lit home and even turning on more lights from your keyfob remote upon your arrival. With a couple of basic products you can have your whole house light up like Fort Knox when there is motion detected at any corner of your house. Imagine your house sending you an email if there is motion where there shouldn't be any. Or you can have your security system call you if there is an alarm, which might include your typical security alarm or even a low or high temperature or water in the laundry room or basement

But here's the thing, these other premium products and even the luxury items I talked about above will last you much longer than your typical phone. A Rolex, for instance, can be thought of as a family heirloom, meant to be passed down to the next generation. It actually goes up in value.

This is a new release, so the majority of the reviews were for free product that was sent out for testing. We did also gather some professional reviews. The one thing to expect from Bose is high-quality sound, and this system delivers. Many people consider Bose the industry benchmark in sound quality, and there were certainly reviews that reiterated that.

The user guide and quick-start guide for the system made for an easy and efficient assembly, and the control app was well regarded. Users enjoyed the dialogue boost that Bose has to counteract speech being drowned out by background music in movies or shows. The SoundTouch 520 is Bluetooth compatible, pairs with several different devices and lets you use your Wi-Fi network to stream online music services such as Pandora and Spotify.

Not even Bose can get off criticism-free, so there are some things to be aware of before purchasing this system. Foremost, don’t be misled by all of the “wireless” references. Yes, it can stream music wirelessly and some of its components are wireless, but the speakers that you will place around your living space are wired, which could lead to placement challenges.

Home automation may seem like a thing of the future, but it is a feature that anyone can add to their home. To do that, you’ll need to have the right smart home technology. We at LiveWatch are here to help. Our reliable and affordable smart home systems can supercharge your home with smart light control, thermostat control, remote door locks, and more. You can enjoy these features for your home when you purchase a plan that features automation. You’ll find that automated home control is the perfect solution for your busy lifestyle and that it will be invaluable in helping you to save precious time, energy, and money.

Smart climate control makes it easy for you to set the perfect temperature in your home. Create a comfortable environment by making adjustments from the same touch screen you use to control your lights, shades, and home entertainment system. Monitor and control your thermostats from a mobile device if you left your AC blasting when you left home. Cooling your home can be expensive and our climate control solutions save you energy with programmed settings and integration to a home automation system.

Alarms, camera, motion sensors and more – the options are endless when it comes to keeping tabs on what’s happening in your home. You can now have peace of mind all at the touch of a button. Best part is, you can install most of this automated home security technology yourself, so you don’t need to shell out thousands to a security installation company or contractor.

A smart home (also known as a smart house) is equipped with devices that can be remotely controlled by homeowners via computer, tablet, mobile device or app. Smart home technology may differ by company or from package to package, but all of these home management systems are designed to provide comfort to home owners and renters.
Many smart home systems offer home security, home automation, and energy efficiency features. Appliances, digital thermostats, lights, video surveillance cameras and more can be remotely programmed to turn on or off based on a predetermined time schedule. In addition, home entertainment systems can also be programmed from a remote location. With a few clicks of a button, homeowners can remotely turn on the air conditioning in their house before they have even left the office. Have you ever forgotten to turn off the iron or the coffee pot? With a smart home security system in place, you no longer need to be home to turn off your appliances, lock the door or adjust your WiFi thermostat.

Home security has come a long way over the years, with today’s models featuring all the bells and whistles that allow for them to be fully integrated with home networking systems and smart devices. Of course you’ll want to ensure that whatever system you purchase is compatible with any mobile device you plan to use it with, but there are a few other things to consider before purchasing a smart home security system, including:

A network is a home’s central nervous system for all communications and control. We’ll help lay a solid and reliable foundation that’s robust for today’s technology and for tomorrow’s. We will work with you to find a complete networking solution that satisfies all of your system needs including your TV, telephone, music, security, control system and mobile devices that are connected on the network in a smart home. A high-speed and secure network provides the functionality and protection you desire.

Home automation is surprisingly simple and doesn’t require much technical knowledge. In fact, if you can use a smartphone, then you’ll be able to lock your doors from anywhere in the country or even from across the world. There are many benefits to having a smart house. Home automation is one of the best ways to ensure that your home is safe and properly secured, no matter the time or where you are. Your personalized Plug&Protect system will allow you to not only check that doors are closed and locked, but it will also help you to turn lights on and off when you are not there to do it in person. Our systems will also help homeowners to save money and energy. We do that by not only giving you the power to turn on and off lights but by giving you the ability to control your home’s thermostat as well.

One other smart home platform you might have heard something about is IFTTT. An acronym for "If This, Then That," IFTTT is a free service that lets you craft automation recipes that link smart gadgets, web services, and online tools. Select a cause ("if this") and an effect ("then that"), and the recipe will run automatically. A social networking recipe might automatically save your Instagram photos to a Dropbox folder, for instance. Once you start adding smart home gadgets into the mix things get even more interesting -- and more and more are joining IFTTT's ranks all the time.

For our Gold Award winner, Crestron, there’s literally no project too big. This system is compatible with thousands of products from hundreds of manufacturers, more than any other company in our review. The system’s software is fully customizable from top to bottom, which is one of the reasons it expands beyond residential installations into commercial applications at schools, hotels and businesses. It takes an experienced dealer and a lot of time to install a Crestron system.

According to the company, the Connect has a Grade 1 security rating (highest in the market), features a motorized deadbolt, has capacity for 30 separate user codes, and can be locked, unlocked and monitored from anywhere “when paired with a third-party home automation or alarm system.” It is Z-Wave-enabled and offers three options for alerts: activity, tamper or forced entry. (Z-Wave is a wireless communications specification designed to allow devices in the home to communicate with one another for the purposes of home automation.)

Entertainment in your home can be a high quality, cinematic experience when you integrate your Honeywell system with popular home systems from vendors like Crestron®, Control 4®, Lutron® RadioRA® 2, Savant® or Universal Remote Control. Transform your living room into a home theater with the touch of a button. Close the drapes, dim the lights, start the movie, control the climate and more. Sit back, relax and enjoy!

There is quite a bit of flexibility for both wireless and wired systems, providing options for homeowners who never plan to sell as well as renters who are planning their next move. Control4 operates on a wide variety of platforms and operating systems (iOS, Android, Apple OS X and Windows Vista, 7 and 8.1), but since it is sold only through authorized dealers, there were fewer unbiased online reviews.

A few reviews mentioned some drawbacks to the installation of this system, including finding good customer support (depending on your dealer) and the need to have a professional incorporate any new purchases into your home’s automation. Essentially, if you have a great dealer in your area who is well-informed with the system, then you are in luck. Other feedback highlighted the system’s flexibility when it comes to equipment choice and ease of use.

Oftentimes you'll see the terms "smart home" and "home automation" used interchangeably, which may lead you to wonder why there are so many terms for the same concept (see also: "A Z-Wave hub, a gateway, a controller - what's the difference?"). In this case, though, there is actually a difference - although it may be pretty confusing if you're new to the tech game.

In simple terms: home automation is just one of the many things that smart homes do. If that doesn't make it any clearer, think of it like this: smart home technology is comprised of connected devices—which means that they rely on networking technology like Wi-Fi or specialized technologies like Z-Wave to connect and communicate with other devices in and outside of the home.

Examples of such devices include: light switches and dimmers that can be operated remotely; surveillance cameras that can be monitored from another room or another continent altogether; thermostats that can be programmed to follow a set schedule or adjusted on the fly from your smartphone; even energy meters that allow you to keep tabs on your total electricity consumption in real time. That's merely scratching the surface, though; really, any device in your home that you can operate, monitor, or receive information from without physically interacting with it could be considered part of the smart home.

There are a few things to be aware of with this lock. The lower price point listed above is for a smart deadbolt; you may also need a hand lever or doorknob, so — depending on what you have in place already or the combo you buy — that could incur some additional costs. If the door you are planning to use this lock with is more than 1.75 inches thick, you will also need to purchase a thick door kit.

The Connect has an outdoor temperature rating of -31 degrees to 151 degrees Fahrenheit — conditions beyond those ranges can result in usage problems, but it is an outdoor lock and built for weather conditions within the listed ranges.

The toilet will open at your approach, play music (“Ring of Fire,” anybody?), flush automatically, close its lid, and clean up using deodorizers and even a built-in air purifier. But software-security firm Trustwave hacked the toilet’s Android app. How? The app uses “0000” as its permanent PIN, so a hacker could cause the toilet to repeatedly flush or spray its bidet into the air. If designed with similar disregard for security, other connected toilets could face similar mischief. Repeated flushing could prove costly and messy. As for connected toilets in general, we’d rather not go there.

2016 wireless smart security home system/smart home/home automation

The owner usually controls operations through a smart home app, which allows them to monitor elements of the environment and to automate, schedule and control tasks. Some systems also include support for automation software such as IFTTT (If This Then That), which allows users to create chains of simple conditional statements that are triggered based on changes to other web services. The service might, for example, be set up to unlock doors, raise blinds and activate lights, heating/cooling and entertainment systems when the user was detected within a specified distance from the home (see: geofencing).

The devolo Home Control Central Unit is the centrepiece of your smart home. The discreet electrical socket adapter unobtrusively controls all operations in the background like a conductor. The Central Unit saves all settings you have entered manually or via the app via Z-Wave® wireless technology. Subsequently, the device sends the settings and instructions to all smart home components that have been installed.

You can connect the Central Unit to your Internet router using the provided network cable and have access anywhere to your home automation system via app. Control all settings, switch on individual devices or call up data, such as the current energy consumption of an individual device using your smartphone, tablet or computer. Alternatively, the Central Unit can also be integrated into your existing Powerline home network.

As we mentioned earlier, smart home systems come in a dazzling array of shapes and sizes, from brain-dead simple to vastly complex. Features vary just as widely, so you’ll need to pay more attention than usual when you’re narrowing down the field to find the product that’s right for you. Here’s a look at some of those key decision factors. To see how each system on the market measures up to those promises, drill down into the reviews at the end of the buyers’ guide.

Here’s the essential gear to get you there, which we’ve separated into two categories: all-around smart home systems, which are designed to coordinate a wide variety of smart home products, and security-focused systems, which are built around sensors and sirens. You should also note that some of our picks are starter kits, consisting of a smart-home hub and a handful of devices, while others are just the hub. You'll need to add the components you want to the latter, choosing from products certified by the hub manufacturer.

All that action adds up to a rapidly growing number of things in the internet of things, along with a variety of platforms competing to control them all. That might make the idea of getting your smart home started a little bit overwhelming, but don't worry. It's actually easier than ever to start automating your home -- provided you know your options.
