Smart Home & Home Automation Sensors
Sensors give your smart home the information it needs to respond automatically. By detecting conditions such as motion, occupancy, doors and windows opening or closing, temperature, light levels and other environmental changes, sensors allow your automation system to react in real time without requiring you to press a button or issue a voice command.
Control4 and other professional home automation systems can use sensors to create intelligent automated actions throughout the home. A motion or occupancy sensor can turn lights on when someone enters a room, a contact sensor can trigger an action when a door opens, and environmental sensors can provide information that helps your home respond to changing conditions.
Sensors can be used for automation such as:
- Automatically turning lights on when motion or occupancy is detected
- Turning lights off after a room has been vacant for a specified period
- Triggering automation when a door or window opens or closes
- Monitoring temperature and environmental conditions
- Detecting water or potential leaks with compatible sensors
- Using light levels to adjust lighting or shades automatically
Automated Now offers sensors for Control4 and other professional smart-home systems, including motion, occupancy, contact and environmental sensing solutions from manufacturers such as Axxess and Nyce. Properly integrated sensors help transform a collection of controlled devices into a home that can respond automatically to its occupants and environment.
