"Cory did a very nice job for us. He took a look at our ethernet and WiFi network, and was able to diagnose our problems and make a couple of improvements. He was on-time, professional and easy to talk with. He was also very skilled in the technical aspects of modern networking. We often find that good local businesses like Wave Connects deliver solutions and services that are as good or better than the big companies. Cory and Wave Connects have proven this yet again.

Home Automation questions, answered by experts

Smart LED light bulbs are designed with software that connects to other Smart accessories, such as a smartphone app or Smart home assistant. Through these accessories, you can control your LED lights remotely, so you don’t need to use conventional wall switches. Many Smart LED bulbs also feature customization options that allow you to set automated schedules or change the colors of your lights.

Smart irrigation systems are more expensive than traditional sprinkler timers, and their setup can be effort-intensive for some homeowners. For instance, depending on the type of controller you choose, you may need to bury soil moisture sensors or install other equipment on-site that helps your smart sprinkler controller work. However, given their water and cost savings over time, many homeowners still consider a smart controller a worthy investment.

Most homeowners find that home automation is well worth the investment. These automation services can make your household more comfortable and add a layer of protection to your home. For example, adding an automated security system provides peace of mind whether you’re home or on vacation, and something like a water system monitor can protect you from freeze damage and major leaks, both of which would likely be far more expensive than the automation technology to avoid them.

In most cases, you can expect home automation to boost your home value. This technology makes the homeowner’s life easier and more comfortable, and some provide increased safety and protection. Buyers will likely recognize value in security systems and utility monitors, as well as comfort-focused upgrades that save on electric bills while keeping interior rooms at the desired temperature and humidity. On average, you can expect a 50% and 75% return on investment on home automation services, and potentially even more if the automation reduces homeowner’s insurance.

One significant drawback of home automation is the increased risk of cybersecurity threats. With more connected devices in our homes, there's a greater chance that hackers might try to exploit vulnerabilities to access personal data or even control your devices. If you don't secure your smart gadgets properly, they can become entry points for cyberattacks, risking your privacy and safety. Moreover, technology isn't perfect. Sometimes, systems can malfunction or experience connectivity issues, disrupting your daily routines. The upfront cost of buying and installing smart devices can also be a hurdle for some people.
