  • Did you know HVAC systems typically account for up to 50% of your home’s energy consumption? With an intelligent thermostat you’ll be able to save a lot of money and prevent the waste of energy. You can set your temperature at any time of the day and turn it off when you leave the house, and set it back on when you return. On a cold winter day, you’ll be able to warm your house up ahead of time from afar so it’s nice and toasty as soon as you step in, without wasting the money and energy to keep the heat blasting the whole time you’re at work. As we’ve noted, smart thermostats make a big difference in energy conservation, helping you do your part to protect the environment.

  • Residents of the household commonly leave the lights on by mistake when they leave the house, costing you money and wasting energy. A smart light installation will allow you to turn the lights off with your smartphone, even when you are out of the house. We can also implement motion sensors and automatic timers that can notably shrink your electricity bill.

  • Get alerts on your phone when you detect movement, people, or packages. Remotely communicate with visitors or suspicious people.

  • Have you ever been listening to music in one room, and procrastinated on going to make yourself lunch because you just have to finish this song? Can you imagine being able to walk to the kitchen and the music follows you? DotSight Solutions will install sound systems that are tailored to fit your space and style. Whether you’re looking for a standalone listening room or a whole-home audio solution, we’ve got you covered.

  • Get alerts when your doors are unlocked and by who. Automatically lock your doors at certain times. Voice or remote unlock your doors in case of an emergency. Help others unlock your doors if needed. Sensors will send you alerts, monitoring for movement when you are away.

  • There are several options such as Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple HomeKit for systems that can act as a simplified hub for optimal device integration. We will work with you to help you choose what is best for you.

  • Automatic doors can be controlled with voice commands, motion sensors, the touch of a switch, a smart device app, or a key fob that unlocks the door at the push of a button. An automatic door designed for individuals with disabilities will run off of an internal battery in case of a power failure. Units are always connected to a power source to maintain the unit’s charge, but they function using the internal battery.

What is a Smart Home?

A smart home is a home where all the devices in your household are connected via an internet-based network and can be programmed to do certain tasks automatically.

The aim of a smart home system is to help your home run more efficiently by synchronizing and automating the functions of these connected devices.

Home automation is the use of technology to improve the functioning, security, and convenience of your home.

Our professionals will work with you to help you figure out what parts of your home you want to make smart, such as security, lighting, temperature control, and entertainment. A futuristic level of convenience, security and entertainment is available now to make your life easier, less stressful and more comfortable. 

So how does it work?

Smart home devices, such as door locks, smart thermostats, smart speakers, smart lights, and more, work by communicating with each other and your home’s smart security system.

These  devices can be controlled via an automated schedule, other smart devices, or even remotely from your smartphone. They are powered by sensors, software and wireless protocols such as Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 5.0, Z-Wave and Zigbee.

Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer looking to improve your current residence or a business owner who needs a more cost-effective and value-added way to manage their systems and requirements, DotSight Solutions can help you.

Home automation systems are the best of the best when it comes to saving time and money for homeowners and business owners alike.

What are the benefits of making my home smart?

Security 

Secure your home and the essential items in it 24/7. Monitor your cameras, locks and garage doors from the other side of the street, country or world. Get notifications when someone approaches your home. Automatically turn on lights at night so you never have to go into a dark house.

Intelligent security solutions give you peace of mind so you can rest easy knowing everything is safe and secure. Each system has its own unique set of alerts, so you’ll always know what’s most important according to your preferences.

Whether it’s an emergency alert for suspicious movement near your back door, a money-saving alert for a detected water leak, or just a status report letting you know the kids have made it home from school safe, no matter how far away you are, your house is completely accessible and within your control.

There are so many new ways to protect your home from intruders, giving you the greatest peace of mind possible with this new integrated technology. Let our smart home technicians at DotSight Solutions help you find the best smart home security system for your needs and budget.

It’s dinnertime? Invite the whole family to the dining room at once.

Send a quick message from one touch screen to the next, or from room to room.

Monitor and talk to any room in your smart home from your smartphone.

Turn off the lights in the other room from your phone if you forgot.

Tell the thermostat to get the A/C going from where you’re sitting.

If you’re running behind to greet guests, you can welcome them and let them in from afar. Smart technology makes life simpler and saves you time.

Entertainment 

Not only can this advanced technology provide convenience and peace of mind, it is also amazing for improving entertainment experiences. You can control lighting hues and brightness with a tap on your phone.

You can set up speakers in every room so you can make any mundane, daily chore a music party— or submerge yourself into relaxing, dreamy rain noise to lull you to sleep.

Smart lighting and smart speakers can connect with the TVs in your home to provide an out-of-this-world, immersive and unforgettable viewing experience. For example, check out this example of the Philips Hue Play Sync Box smart lighting device when integrated with TV: 

Energy Conservation

Not only does having a smart home give you access to cutting-edge technology, but it also gives you the added benefit of knowing that you’re making a positive impact on the planet.

According to a study by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE), smart homes save 30% to 50% on energy costs when they monitor and automate lighting, ventilation, heating and air conditioning (HVAC), and window shading. Smart homes can save 10% to 30% on energy costs, but savings vary depending on factors such as the size of the residence, the energy efficiency of your appliances, and the usage of smart technology. 

Whether you’re dreaming of a sleek, cutting-edge home or simply want your devices to work more intuitively for you, every step you take towards building a smart home brings you one step closer to optimizing your reducing your environmental impact and leading to a more sustainable future.
