HOME AUTOMATION  Security companies have long been offering Smartphone apps to control security systems. Now it’s easy to integrate cameras to monitor, arm and disarm your home system remotely.  It is also possible to control your home’s lighting through smart technology. Not only can you turn the lights off and on, but now you can control the intensity and even the color of the light.  The last piece of the automation puzzle and the single piece that connects all devices bringing us closer to a fully automated home are the controllers such as Echo powered by Alexa. These hubs are compatible with most of these automated machines and allow their user to control his or her home with a single spoken command.
