Ways to make your home smart in San Diego There are two types of smart systems that will help you remodel your home in San Diego, making it more versatile and comfortable for you and your guests. 1. Home Automation, a home ally Home automation is one way you can remodel your home in San Diego. This involves installing a system capable of controlling most of the home’s functions with the help of a remote control or mobile device. For example, you can control lighting, water flow, regulate electricity consumption, and open and close blinds. You can also adjust temperature, activate alarms, or open the garage door from a certain distance. Home automation requires a thorough remodeling, as the property’s system needs to be changed. Additionally, it allows you to give the home a unique customization, as you can program spaces and environments to your liking. However, updating with this system can be costly because sensors and devices that work with your phone need to be implemented. Nevertheless, the advantage of home automation is that you have the opportunity to select a specific room for installation, saving on your transformation. 2. Smart Home with AI and internet Alternatively, you can remodel your home in San Diego with the help of Artificial Intelligence. In this case, we’re talking about a smart home that “thinks and feels” its owners’ needs. A smart home involves installing internet-connected devices that can communicate with each other to benefit the user. Unlike home automation, which is personalized according to the owner’s preferences, a smart home automatically activates electrical devices when detecting a pre-programmed scene. Additionally, they are connected to a single system that can modify the entire space. For example, lighting can be activated when a person enters the room without pressing any buttons. Similarly, intelligent sound systems can play music according to the environment or the owner’s favorite playlists. The time of day can also activate or deactivate established functions in the property, such as sprinklers, lights, or heating. In this case, installation is more practical, efficient, and economical, as you only need to acquire the equipment you want to react automatically. For example, there are appliances, lights, sound systems, security cameras, and other equipment that can turn your house into a smart home. Furthermore, thanks to Artificial Intelligence, the response of smart devices is faster and more efficient, as it analyzes room conditions to activate them immediately, without delays.

You’re One Step Closer to Building Your ADU Dream.
Tips for implementing technology in your home Choose the type of intelligence for your home First, you need to define what type of smart remodeling you want in your home. In this case, choose whether you want to activate smart devices yourself or automatically when sensing your presence. Also, although it is believed that automating a home to make it smarter is done during construction, the reality is that the transformation can be carried out with ongoing or completed construction, meaning with the house already finished. However, you must consider the structure of the house. For example, if your property is very old, has thick walls, or is very spacious, you will need to check if the internet connection is stable for smart devices to work anywhere. If you notice that it constantly fails or there is poor reception, you will need to install more WiFi repeaters for your smart home. On the other hand, home automation installation will require elements to be at a good distance for them to function correctly with the remote control. Establish a budget Another element to consider for remodeling your home in San Diego is the budget you plan to use. Unlike repairing damaged areas or changing paint, installing smart systems can be more expensive, depending on the level of autonomy you want to give your home. As mentioned, home automation can be more expensive than a smart home, as installations that work remotely and by remote control are needed. Therefore, you can start remodeling one or two rooms before changing the entire house. On the other hand, the smart home that works with internet and Artificial Intelligence only requires updated equipment, a secure and stable internet connection, and configuration. Play with modernity and classics Remodeling your home in San Diego is not at odds with classic elements. Therefore, you can approach our team of experts to analyze which rooms you can modify with paint, decoration, or new floors and, at the same time, install automated or remote-controlled technological equipment. For example, you can choose your preferred paint and automatically change the color of the curtains with a smart home device or dim the lights with a remote control. In conclusion, making a smart home is a faster way to update your property and give it a futuristic and ingenious touch. Remember that the purpose of this remodeling is to make your property more comfortable, safe, and customizable. In fact, these types of actions increase the total value of the home.
