Home automation is a hot topic. The ability to automate or remotely control household items is huge—arguably the best thing since sliced bread. It enables us, via our smartphones or other electronic devices, to sync a vast array of household functions with our lifestyles. Want to come home to a pre-heated lounge? Done. Keen to get your bedroom blinds to open automatically at 7 am? You got it.
