Lower Your Energy Costs
Not only does automation make your lifestyle more convenient—it can save you tons of money. Did you know turning down your thermostat 7ºF to 10°F for at least eight hours daily can lower your utility spending by up to 10 percent a year, according to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)?
However, it’s hard to be consistent about it—that’s where home automation steps in. A smart thermostat uses sensors to pick up on your habits and develop a custom-tailored HVAC cycle for your Canton, OH, home that balances comfort and efficiency.
What Can Home Automation Do for Me?
Automating your home has many practical benefits that will enhance your everyday life. Additionally, the technology is rapidly growing and expanding—new features and add-ons are constantly being introduced.
Here are just a few ways Ohio homeowners are using home automation:
- Track home security cameras and alarm system
- Monitor water and energy usage
- Water your plants
- Feed your pets
- Open and close window blinds
- Calibrate lighting with voice or motion command
- Lock doors from your phone
- Clean up with a robotic vacuum
- Auto-notify authorities in the event of a burglary, fire, or carbon monoxide (CO) leak
Of course, there are many more uses—but there were too many to list! Call your The K Company expert today to discuss the home automation solutions you’re interested in for your home. More than likely, what you have in mind is possible.
How Does It Work?
Home automation systems contain three basic components. These electronic modules communicate with one another to automate different tasks around your home.
The components are:
- Controllers
This component controls and monitors the others. Often, it’s an app on your phone, tablet, or web portal. These online controllers are highly secure and allow you to view settings, make changes and enter commands via Wi-Fi. Alternatively, the controller could be a remote control, similar in appearance to a television remote.
- Actuators
While the controller controls, the actuator actuates—it performs the commands that you want to see completed. A “smart lock” is an example of an actuator. When you tell your phone to lock your door, the smart lock’s motors turn the bolt in place.
- Sensors
These are the eyes and ears of the operation, keeping track of movement, light, sound, and temperature. Sensors send the information back to the controllers and actuators, triggering commands and collecting data. They have numerous uses, including touchless sinks and energy-saving thermostat programs.

Here are a few possible uses for home automation:

How Home Automation Operates
This technology utilizes three main components: controllers, actuators, and sensors.
Controllers are the interface you use to monitor and adjust settings. It can be your phone, tablet, or computer. Most systems have an application that you use to adjust the automation components.
Actuators are the components that respond to the controller’s command. For instance, when you lower your lights using your phone (the controller), the actuator sends an electric signal to your lightbulb, telling it to get dimmer.
Sensors monitor movements, light, and temperature. For instance, a motion sensor can allow touch-less hand washing. When configured with a thermostat, it can adjust temperature settings based on when you’re home or away.
