I am a fanatic when it comes to technology and leveraging technology for enjoyment. I am intrigued at how things work or function. By profession I am a building designer so home technologies and home automation are right up my alley.
I am venturing on the “green” side of life and paying more attention to energy consumption, health, usability, and efficiency. In a nut shell we (my family and I) turn off lights when not in use, shut down our computers at night, and even prepare less food at meal time as to not be wasteful (we are not good at eating leftovers). Basically trying to do our part at being more “eco-friendly”.
Home automation is a technology that can be leveraged to make our job easier not to mention more enjoyable. For instance, say you forget to turn off lights when you leave a room, or you forget to lower the thermostat when you leave for work. We have all done that many times I am sure. Now what if your home did it for you. Room occupancy detectors could shut down the room when not in use. Thermostats could be set to a certain temperature at different times of the day. Even putting lights on a dimmer and turning to 75% of full power saves a lot of energy.
These are simple methods to help automate your home.
