What are the pros and cons of home automation?

Are home security systems worth the price?

• <div><p>A home security system could save you up to 20% on your home insurance policy, so the initial expense may actually even out over time. Beyond that, it’s hard to put a price on peace of mind. If you live in a high-crime area, you may want to prioritize home safety. It depends on the value of your assets and your individual preference.</p></div>

Can smart switches work on any light?

• <div><p>Smart switches work with pretty much any light. However, if you plan on using a dimming feature on your smart switch, any <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/incandescent-vs-led.htm">LED bulbs</a> you use need to be the dimmable kind. It’s more the wiring of your existing lights that can be a problem. Some smart light switches need a neutral wire, and old houses (built before 1985) don’t always have these. Always check if the model you want needs neutral wiring to operate. </p></div>

I pay for home insurance, so if there is a problem with my line, I can call them and they come in and find the problem. When I need a technician to come out, they come right out. However, the last time I called for help to get my messages, I got somebody that was kind of snooty.

Their monitoring and surveillance centers are nationwide and open 24 hours. They made the process really easy and informed us of all the benefits by being under monitoring agreement. Told both of our neighbors about our experience and they plan to sign up too."
