Most smart devices can be automated, with some having that purpose only. Keep reading to learn what comprises an automation and how to do it. At the end, we also give you several examples of automations and smart devices to make your home more routine.
What is automation?
Automation is a smart home feature that allows you to control and manage devices automatically, without the need for manual intervention. With automation, you can create routines, scenarios, and customized rules for your devices, making your home more convenient, efficient, and comfortable.
Automation is based on "if" and "then" - if a certain condition is met, then a specific action will be triggered. For example, you can set up an automation to automatically turn on the lights when motion is detected in a certain area of the house. Or, you can schedule the air conditioning system to turn on half an hour before you arrive home, ensuring a pleasant environment when you enter.
There are different types of automations you can create, from simple isolated actions to complex routines involving multiple devices. You can automate tasks such as turning appliances on and off, adjusting lighting according to the time of day, regulating room temperature, opening and closing curtains, among many other possibilities.
Where can I set up automations?
Automations can be configured through specific applications, such as Smartlife or Tuya, which allow you to integrate and control different smart devices in one place. Furthermore, it is possible to combine automations with virtual assistants, such as Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa, to control the house through voice commands.
Automation provides a range of benefits, including convenience, energy savings, and increased security. By automating daily tasks, you can save time and effort, creating a home that is more efficient and tailored to your needs.
