What is home automation?

What are the benefits of an automated home?

A Leviton automation system coordinates security, temperatures, lighting, and audio/video automatically for safety, energy savings, and convenience.

Automatically dimming lights and changing heating and cooling setpoints when you are away from home can greatly reduce energy costs. Remote access lets you view security video on a laptop or web-enabled cell phone. Adding home automation can also increase the value of your home.

Is the system easy to understand and operate?

Yes. Children can even learn and understand how to use basic features of the system. Day-to-day events are generally automated but can be managed with one button, such as Day, Night, Vacation, or Away. More specific activities are menu driven to change temperature, lights, audio and more.

Can it be controlled over the Internet or telephone?

Yes, and without any monthly fees. All Leviton automation can be monitored and controlled over the Internet or telephone either inside or outside the home. Affordable apps are available for smartphones, tablets, and e-readers. Check and adjust lights, temperature, security, audio, and more.

Not only can you call to check on the status of your home, but your system can actually contact you! Receive phone calls, texts or e-mails to inform you of what is happening at home. Be notified of an alarm or that children are safe as soon as they have returned home from their day at school.

Can the system expand easily if my needs change?

Yes. Add Touchscreens, pool, spa, or irrigation controls, window treatments, remotes, multi-room audio systems, home theater controls, access control, video surveillance, wireless door locks and more.
