The latest home automation technologies have also enhanced home security systems to a great extent.

Now, you have the power to control your home’s locks remotely with your smartphone. You can unlock the door for your friend or any other person you know while you are driving a car or working at the office and unlock it when they leave (Isn’t that Amazing!). You don’t have to worry about giving the keys to your friends and think whether they locked your door or not.

The main aim of these latest automation systems is to banish your concerns over unnecessary home energy expenditures and end your worries whether you locked the main door at home or not. Automating your sweet home gives you peace of mind by making your life easier than before and also saves electricity.

Also, every electrical appliance is getting smarter features day by day; making it easier for them to interact with the Smart home. Home automation systems should not just work with home-based devices, they should work to be more energy efficient.

There are various new trends that can be observed in the Smart Home industry showing interest in energy efficiency. There is a latest product in the market that can even solve the problem of battery replacement in all the electronic devices of automation systems.

Replacing batteries have always been an issue with us because we usually forget to replace them. K3OPS, a leading company in the field of home automation have tried to solve this major problem of battery replacements with their latest Stick’N Charge technology.
