Imagine a very cold winter day and being able to decide from your smartphone what time to turn on the heating to get there and keep the house warm.
Or being on your way to work and remembering that you left the kitchen lights on and being able to turn them off in the distance.
Imagine on a Sunday morning, from your bed, being able to turn on the radio and make coffee just with your voice.
All these situations can become real if you have a home automation system. Technology evolves and allows you to create scenarios worthy of any futuristic movie. Home automation is designed to improve the quality of life of people in a home. These features are intended to enable the inhabitants of a home to enjoy comfort thanks to technology.
From Inmobiliaria Espígul we know very well the latest trends in home automation and how we can make your house an intelligent home. Our newly built homes have the possibility of integrating home automation with different functionalities adapted to your needs.
Domotics, what is an intelligent home?
A home automation is that which has different electronic devices interconnected between each other that allow you to automatically carry out activities that are usually done manually.
The main objective of domotics is to make the home have a much higher quality of life thanks to technology. For the person to have total control of the home, it must be connected to a centralised control panel.
Advantages of home automation
- Security. A house with home automation allows the house to be constantly and remotely monitored. You will be able to see and hear what is going on in your house at all times.
- Comfort. With one button you have control of multiple systems in the house and everything is also centralised on a single control panel.
- Saving. Of time and money. You save time because you can perform many household tasks automatically. You save money because you have much more control of the electronic devices as well as the heating, air conditioning, home lighting, etc.
- Remote control. One of the best aspects of home automation is that it works remotely. You do not necessarily have to be inside the house to be able to control everything that belongs to the home automation.

7 home automation applications
These are some examples of home automation applications that you can enjoy in your home.
Fully digitalised access
You can have fully digitalised access in your home. From controlling how many times the entrance door is opened, to allowing access to someone who doesn't have a key, or even opening or closing the door remotely.
Lights
One of the key points of home automation is to be able to control the basic functions of the home remotely. You can control the lights and decide if you want them to turn off automatically. If you are out of the house, you can also know if there are any lights on and turn them off remotely. You can also control the intensity of the light you use, which saves energy.
Security
Probably one of the most important factors that home automation brings to a house. The most sophisticated alarms are connected to provide complete surveillance.
Temperature control
Just as with the lights, you can also control the temperature degrees in each room of the house and adjust it with heat or cold depending on the desired temperature, always thinking of the well-being of the inhabitants of the home.
Full volume!
Remote control to play your favourite songs at full volume or play soft background music to go to sleep. Doing household chores will be much more fun.
Home appliances
Nowadays many electrical appliances have home automation systems and can be linked to the central system to facilitate daily tasks.
Irrigation
Outdoor automatic watering systems save a lot of work and time and allow you to leave for a while without worrying about your plants.
These technological resources are increasingly being taken into account in the construction of new buildings. At Inmobiliaria Espígul we are aware that in the future the majority of constructions will take domotics into account, which is why we have the latest technology for your home.
