Smart Home Consultant
The installation of a smart home system needs to be meticulously planned taking into consideration everything from the age of the home to the number of people and pets living there, the goal of installing the various components and of course, the budget. Installing a smart thermostat alone is something an experienced DIYer might be able to do. But professionals are a must for more complex installations. In order to get everything you want from your smart home installation the best place to start is with a smart home consultation with Connect Automation.
The Importance of the Home Automation Consultant
The smart home consultation is intended to provide you with the answers you need prior to the installation of a smart home system. The Connect Automation Consultant will listen intently to what you want and expect from the project, will answer any questions or concerns you might have and will make recommendations based on what they are able to learn about the home, the people in it and your ultimate goals.
Another reason to opt for a smart home consultation is because the smart home industry is evolving at breakneck speeds. You need an experienced consultant who is up-to-date on the latest technological advances and can recommend the newest and best way to achieve your goals.
Smart Home Consultation: How it Works
The smart home consultation typically includes the following steps:
Step 1: Analysis of the how the customer interacts with their home
Step 1 of the smart home consultation is to get a clear picture of how you and your loved ones interact with the home. This includes analyzing who enters and exits, at what times and through what portals (front door, garage door etc). We also look at things such as when you typically raise and lower your blinds, when the house is usually empty, which rooms receive the most use and what time everyone is usually in bed. Knowing all this and more will help the consultant make recommendations regarding which technology to use and how best to implement it.
Step 2: Creating the original smart home proposal
After careful review of your lifestyle habits and after learning what can be known about the house itself, the consultant will formulate a proposal for your smart home installation, complete with budgetary projections. Based on your feedback the proposal will be refined until you indicate your complete satisfaction.
Step 3: Overseeing installation
Whether you use Connect Automation for the smart home installation or someone else the home automation consultant will oversee the installation process to ensure your choices and decisions are being properly implemented. Once the installation is complete they will always be available to consult with you on future upgrades or refinements to the system.
