With the new year quickly approaching, it’s time to start asking, “What does 2015 have in store for my home automation system?” While you won’t likely need to all-out replace your home automation system, it’s a good idea to start thinking about how it can improve. So to get you brainstorming, here’s what we believe will be some home automation system trends in 2015.

Trend #1: Total home control.

As smartphones and tablets continue to play a role in our daily lives, we become closer than ever to total home control – that is, complete integration of our home automation system. Your smart device lets you do so much—surf the Internet, check your email, make phone calls—but as those of us with a home theater in San Diego know, they allow us to do so much more, and this trend will become even more apparent in 2015.

With Savant, San Diego homes can combine the best home automation to deliver you a fully automated home experience. We believe that 2015 will continue the trend in using a single device to control home automation systems for your lights, home theater, security, and A/C and heating.

Trend #2: Streamlined basic features.

While shiny new technology may surprise and amaze us, the basics of a modern home automation system (home theater, lighting, A/C and heating) will remain. However, new innovations can improve these standards of home automation systems.

The best home automation systems constantly push the envelope of what’s been done before. As smart devices continue to improve, new technology and apps will develop which are faster, more powerful, and more user-friendly than their predecessors to give us the home automation systems of the future.

Trend #3: Better ways to save (the planet).

Environmentalism is more than just a trend—it’s a necessity. While it may seem like technology butts heads with what’s best for Mother Earth, the best home automation systems actually keep our planet’s best interests in mind. Think about how home automation systems make things more convenient for you:

• They eliminate the need for multiple devices.
• They save you time.
• They can work at home or remotely.

These conveniences reduce your carbon footprint and your overall energy use. For these reasons, home automation systems will continue to grow. And with even more energy efficient technology in the works, 2015 may be our most eco-friendly year yet. You’ll help save the Earth and save money on your own bills. A smart home system is a win-win.
