Security systems and access
If there’s one thing to get on top of when it comes to your home, it’s ensuring that your fortress is safe from break-ins and unwanted attention. With the advancements of security systems allowing full coloured camera recordings that are high definition, with the ability to stream live feeds on your phone and even have them backed up into an external storage drive in your security setup (or in the cloud), high level security is a thing of the future.
The smart home automation technological upgrades expected in 2020 include:

A simple “morning rise” could send your lights brighten into a soft glow to ease the mood. Whether it’s just one globe or the whole house, smart home automation of your lighting is customisable to suit you.
Feeling too cold in bed? Have the heater turned on without walking to the thermostat. A simple click of the button on your phone could have you snuggling in comfort and perfect temperature. That’s smart home automation for you.
This year, expectations for improvement to a higher level of control over your lighting and climate. Greater demand means better supply and competitive pricing bringing consumers more bang for their buck.
The above three aspects of home automation are among the most popular ones in the market – and for good reason. These improvements significantly enhance your lifestyle at home, increasing convenience in the comfort of your humble abode.
