"Bought security through ADT mainly for the automation options that come with the system. My spouse loves being able to turn on and off our lights in different areas of the house while we are gone. We travel often, so giving the illusion that we are home is a good deterrent."

"The install of the burglary system went fine. The complaint is the facilitator (Eric Schoonover of Secure24 Alarms) promised to include smoke/fire monitoring but did not. He has been unresponsive about how to resolve this problem. His attitude seems to be "So what? There's nothing you can do about it now."."

"The Smart Home features they installed, such as thermostat and door locks, etc. do not always work. For example, the Honeywell thermostat can no longer be operated from our phones and is difficult to install. Remote door locks are also unpredictable."

Home Automation questions, answered by experts

The difference between smart home and home automation technology is that home automation is a more comprehensive home control system. It requires more expertise and work to install and set up, but homeowners have greater control over the various areas and functions in the home via their smartphone. Smart home technology is generally easier to install and set up. But it typically needs an internet connection to work as intended, which can limit functionality if there’s a disruption in internet service.

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. 

Yes, evaluating needs based on home size, layout, and climate.

Yes, a DIY security system can qualify for home insurance discounts, as long as it includes key features like cameras, motion detectors, or alarms that effectively deter break-ins. While insurers often lean towards professionally monitored systems, they generally value any proactive measures you take to boost your home’s security. Just make sure your system is properly installed, and keep your insurer in the loop about its features and any monitoring systems you’ve set up.

When dealing with electrical work, getting several projects done at once can save you time and money. If an electrician is coming to replace a circuit box, have them replace outlets or light fixtures, too. Adding light switches, outlets, and fixtures to any electrical project you have going on is the most common way to get home improvement projects done quicker.
