A Smart Home, Room by Room

There is a purpose and function for every room in your house, and the same goes for the smart home tech you might install. Though you can use the same motion sensor in many rooms, how it works within your smart home system could differ greatly.

Take a look at how a smart home can benefit you in each room of your house.

Incorporating smart home technology into your house can be a difficult task, even daunting. With so many brands, protocols, random products, and the idea of using multiple apps to control your smart home, it's easy to get intimidated by the setup process.

Top tech brands have carefully and intricately designed Z-Wave certified products with these concerns in mind, resulting in the most convenient and stress-free smart home system on the market. With Z-Wave, every product is connected through a mesh network, enabling different devices, regardless of brand, to communicate and connect through one platform. The signals travel seamlessly through walls, floors, and ceilings, and even route themselves around obstacles for a robust, comprehensive home coverage system. Here are some ways you can use Z-Wave's 3,300+ products around the house. 

The Bedroom

Feel luxurious every morning as you wake up to your favorite music, the lights coming on at a slight dim so you can adjust to the morning, and the thermostat is set to your preferences, so you are comfortable and the morning tasks are more manageable.

Living Area

Couch potatoes don't always have to be so negative - who wants to get up to turn the lights on or off when they are comfy on the couch? With smart switches, you can control your lights directly from your phone, or even using your voice if you prefer. Smart Doorbells with video let you see who is at the door without getting up from the couch. You can even automate your curtains, blinds, and TV if you are an advanced DIYer.

The Kitchen

is the heart of the home. Kitchen lights are left on all day and night, and more than any other room in the house, the kitchen lights are left on when no one is in the room. If you install smart sensors and smart light switches in the kitchen, you can actually set them up to communicate with each other - motion is detected, lights are turned on. You can decide to have the lights automatically turn off if there is no motion for a few minutes. Moreover, program the sink and other appliances to prioritize saving energy and set sensors to detect any leaks before they become dangerous.

for your home

These days, smart locks and smart doorbells are all the rage, and for good reason. Each smart lock comes with at least 30 unique codes that you can assign to family, friends, maintenance workers, dog walkers, etc. You will receive notifications each time a code is used, so you will know who is in and out of the house. With a smart lock and a smart camera doorbell, you can see clearly who is arriving, leaving, and when packages arrive.

The more Z-Wave products you have in your home, the more signals are repeated, resulting in a more powerful smart home network. In addition to a more reliable system, this also means that all of your Z-Wave products can be controlled from just one app, making the process completely hassle-free.
