Check out our practical and inspiring tips and tricks to design your very own backyard lounge area.

Following a few late snowstorms, spring (finally!) seems to be knocking at our doors. For a lot of us, the arrival of warmer weather almost always means setting up our deck, patio, balcony, or whatever outdoor space we may have. Whether you just recently moved into a new home or have been living in the same house for years, spring means enjoying the outdoors. Hence your outdoor space automatically turns into an extension of your home, making for a second living room or lounge area.

<h3 style="color:#737672;font-size:24px;font-weight:bold;text-align:left;">Would you like to learn more in order to be better prepared for your home automation project?</h3>

Did you know?

Cheaper than a conventional surveillance system and more technologically advanced, residential home automation is spreading quickly all over the world. Control of doors, lights, faucets, or different equipment of the house; home automation allows you to control all of your equipment from a smartphone, computer or tablet.

<h3 style="color:#737672;font-size:24px;font-weight:bold;text-align:left;">Why install a home automation system?</h3>

Since the advent of smartphones, another field has seen great breakthroughs. Home automation is now widely used in the residential sector, a success that stems in particular from its efficiency and ease of use. Here are several options that are available through home automation:

<h4 style="color:#003d69;font-size:24px;font-weight:bold;text-align:left;">-&nbsp; Locking and unlocking doors</h4>

If you often lose your keys, then home automation will certainly make your life easier. Once the system is installed, you will be able to lock and unlock all the doors in the house directly from your phone. This gives you great flexibility as you will be able to open the doors of the house to your friends, neighbors and family, even if you are thousands of miles away.

<h4 style="color:#003d69;font-size:24px;font-weight:bold;text-align:left;">- Automating your lighting system</h4>

Many homeowners are concerned about the energy consumption of their homes. Of course, family members do not always think to turn off the lights and home automation may well allow you to permanently solve this type of problem.

In a residential home, some homeowners opt for the installation of smart lamps. It is then possible to control its energy consumption by adjusting the intensity of the lights at each moment of the day. In addition, connecting your lights to your phone is a great way to make it seem like you are at home when you are actually away, thus avoiding burglaries.

<h4 style="color:#003d69;font-size:24px;font-weight:bold;text-align:left;">- Strengthening security </h4>

Because of the monthly fees and often exorbitant installation fees, many people give up using a surveillance company to protect their home. Home automation systems do not require a subscription, since you are the one who monitors your home from your smartphone.

For example, consider installing motion detectors on doors and windows. If suspicious activity occurs in and around your home, then a notification will be sent directly to your phone. In the event that you have equipped your home with cameras, you will be able to see what is happening in real time and alert the authorities in case of danger.
