Comprehensive Home Automation
Home automation systems can open and close curtains and window shutters in all or part of a home, either on a scheduled basis, such as at sunrise and sunset, or in response to weather conditions. Luxury condos may utilize smart locks, biometric sensors, and a smartphone app to restrict access to only authorized individuals.
A smart hub system may allow residents to control a select group of smart devices (such as voice or gesture-controlled lighting, window blinds, air conditioning, and appliances) within the smart condo close to the hub.
Environmental and Proactive Monitoring
For those seeking home automation, home security may include environmental monitoring, such as air quality, water leak, or tremor detection in earthquake-prone areas, as an additional form of security beyond physical barriers.

Home automation systems are not only concerned with security. It’s really about living a high-end lifestyle without having to think about personal technology, which will be invisible in the background.
