Some of the first smart home products in South Africa, that have gained popularity, are surveillance and security devices. Smart cameras allow you to track what is happening in your home with your phone or tablet. Meanwhile, smart home systems can monitor motion and send you alerts via an App. Using this technology, parents and pet owners can now keep watch over their precious ones, and even interact with them via a device.

In homes that are well-connected, you can have your home behave according to your daily schedule and mood. Being able to customize your MyPlace system, you can have your kitchen and passage lights goon at 5:30am, your outdoor lights on at sunset or the dining room lights at 6pm.It’s all about making your life so much more convenient.

With all the control MyPlace has to offer, electrical components will only turn on when they are needed. Not only are we putting money back into our pockets, but also doing our part to save precious resources.

One of the major selling points of home automation is the convenience that comes with it. Depending on which smart device or appliance you have, they all bring a certain amount of ease, comfort, security and luxury in day-to-day living. Having access to your home from anywhere, or having your home do what you want it to do, is a luxury we all want.
