Four common misconceptions about home automation systems:
- Expensive
- Complicated
- Unreliable
- Easly Outdated
MYTH: AUTOMATION IS TOO EXPENSIVE.
Because the sky is the limit with home automation, it is entirely possible to invest a significant amount of money. But is a large initial investment required? Not at all. Control4 offers options that can get you up and running with an automation solution for what it would cost to install a new HDTV. You can then enhance your system as your needs and budget allow.
MYTH: AUTOMATION IS TOO COMPLICATED
Like any technology, home automation systems have become increasingly easier to use as they’ve matured. Additionally, manufacturers now provide home automation Dealers with pre-configured templates to ensure that control menus are simple and straightforward for consumers to navigate and that the user interface looks and performs consistently across all platforms (touch screens, mobile devices, keypads, etc.).
MYTH: AUTOMATION IS UNRELIABLE
What happens when a home automation system locks up or goes down? Will you be unable to work the lights and thermostats? Thanks to failsafe measures implemented by manufacturers and home automation Dealers, the devices in your home remain operational even if the automation system experiences a glitch. Usually, automation problems are minor, requiring a reboot of the system, which many integrators can handle remotely from their offices.
MYTH: AUTOMATION SYSTEMS BECOME OUTDATED
No matter what type of technology you’re using—smartphone, cable box, computer— it doesn’t take long before its operating system is outdated. The same is true for home automation systems, but don’t let that discourage you from investing in one. Like other technologies, updates are a natural part of its lifecycle. As manufacturers continue to upgrade and refine the features and capabilities of their systems, firmware can usually be easily updated remotely via an Internet connection, ensuring the automation system you buy today will be fresh and relevant for years to come.
