Why Should I Have A Smart Home?

What if on coming out of lockdown you could maintain the mental weight that we so easily got rid of when we didn’t need to think about house security, access and knowing your home is safe when you’re not there? The days of having a smart home system being a luxury are passing and with an increase on crimes and break-ins, owning a smart home is rapidly becoming a necessity.

We wanted to share some ideas on keeping your own peace of mind when you are leaving your home more often again. While also making your home more functional, adaptable and economically sound.

Here at Epitome Living we aim to make your life easier, when you are at home and give you the confidence and trust that your home is safe when you’re not there too.  While we’re not big on blowing our own trumpets we also love the sound of helping you live your ‘best life’ – even out of lockdown – and have the best possible home experience inside and outside your home.

Taking the time to invest in lighting, heating, WiFi, audio features, security and access really will add comfort, safety and allow you the extra time to enjoy life as you should! Here are some reasons why choosing smart home may just change your home, help you save your pennies and lead a more secure life.

In a country where we can often get all 4 seasons in one day – yes, I’m looking at you Northern Ireland – a smart home offers heating temperature regulation so there’ll be no more getting up to put the heating on and off as the days pass. With a one touch button or an app you have full control over systems with a single click. There is also the fabulous luxury of being reminded when maintenance is required while you’re saving electricity. Money saving and efficient! You’re welcome!

Lighting also has a massive impact on the room you’re in – be it ambiance lighting for a dinner party, calming lighting for ‘those’ family chats or bright, bold lighting for energetic rainy Saturdays with the kids. It has the potential to create luxury or simply a soothing effect on mental well-being and our sensory lighting offerings will also reduce your bills.

And even out of lockdown we all need some independence while we’re at home basking in the glory of our own space. And what better way to facilitate this than through being able to have audio options for different rooms. So that means you can listen to your music in the kitchen while the kids are listening to audiobooks in their bedrooms and your mother in law can lie in the bath with her calming forest sounds podcast. Whatever you are into, this will maintain healthy relationships while making the most of time at home.

But how secure is all of this though? I hear you ponder. Well, with our revolutionary app system you will also be protected against breaks ins, be informed of fires, leaks or safe-guarding issues with home alarms straight to your app. Plus, it keeps all of your data safe.

So in short, if you crave making your home more efficient, living in comfort, having better control of your electronics and gadgets in your house and being able to deal with systems from all over the world, and perform household operation from one tap of your phone, get in touch for a consultation. We really can change your life at home.
