Home automation brings the ultimate convenience to your household by automating functions like lighting, temperature, and appliances. Now you can bring that functionality to your outdoor spaces, as well. Alamo Electronics, the leading home automation company in Cincinnati, OH, offers some fun and useful ideas for automating exterior living spaces.

3 Ways to Incorporate Home Automation in Your Outdoor Spaces

1. Outdoor Lighting Control Systems

With an outdoor lighting control system, you can automatically set lights to turn on and off at night. Illuminate the front walkway with path lighting, highlight a decorative architectural or water feature, or shine a light on a particularly attractive plant or tree using a timer or by controlling the lights with your smartphone. It's both a safety feature and a great way to set the mood.

2. Outdoor Sound System

An outdoor sound system is ideal for folks who enjoy entertaining. Let your guests control the playlist with a mobile device, or set the system to act as a digital disc jockey. Control the volume, skip a song you dislike, or program the next several songs in advance, right from your patio chair. Make your music the life of the party using home automation and weatherproof speakers.

3. Video Doorbell

A Wi-Fi video doorbell is on the cusp of futuristic technology. When a visitor rings the bell, it also triggers a camera that snaps a shot of the front stoop and sends it to your smartphone. This tells you who's at your door before you answer it, so you can rush if it's important or choose not to answer.
