Home Automation System Ideas in Darien, CT; Smart Outlets, Advanced Surveillance & More

Domotics, or home automation is just what it sounds like. It is the ability to control the things in your home by voice or smart device. In the early 1900’s electric power distribution made home appliances possible. This opened up a new way of life for people and brought a convenience of saving hard-working people valuable time they needed, to tend to other things. The washing machine came to be in 1904 and shortly thereafter came the refrigerator, sewing machine, dishwasher clothes dryer and so on. Most of us love living in the day and age that we do. We couldn’t be alive at a better time, right? Technology surrounds us, everywhere we look things are evolving and becoming more convenient. From smart phones to smart homes, we’ve really got it made. We have just about everything at our fingertips. Back in the 90’s the things we have access to today were portrayed on the television shows we watched, or in the magazines we read. Now those dreams have become a reality. We can control just about everything in our home from our smart phone or by voice. Don’t want to get up to turn off that light? You don’t have to! If you haven’t began upgrading your home with smart features, you’re really missing out! Today Sentry Electric has compiled a list of our favorite smart devices that can be installed with the help of our experienced electricians.

2: Light Occupancy Sensors– Gone are the days when you had to tell your children to shut off the lights when they’re done.
