Online and web-related technologies and operations are moving toward automation. Does the off line counterparts are gearing toward automation, too?
Let’s take home automation as a case study. Well, what do you think of automating your bathroom? For example, digital shower? The digital shower can be controlled from any room in the house, including the temperature. Once the water reach the desired temperature, an audible noise will chime notifying you. How about shower enclosure, toilets and other bathroom furniture and accessories?
How home automation can help you?
Home automation is basically the automation of household appliances using electronic devices and wireless technology to control them anywhere in the house.
While it sounds pretty much like Bill Gates’ home, home automation can help you if you are someone with special need, working at home or simply love tech and innovation that can help you to be more productive. For example, the digital bathroom equipments and accessories can help you multitask your activities at home, including house chores and working at home.
The great news is, this technology is becoming more accessible than ever. You don’t need to be as wealthy as Bill Gates to automate your home.
One thing to keep in mind in considering home automation – Will it benefit you? e.g. Is remodelling your bathroom to accomodate the wireless digital shower and such can offer you solutions, instead of more problems?
Technology can help us do things more and better. However, you need to implement the right technology for the right task – Exaggeration can only lead you to become a tech junkie.

Home automation has been around for a long time. Most people automate electronic devices or lighting in their house. Garage Doors, home theater, outdoor and indoor lighting, sprinkler systems and more. The real key to home automation is the control system. Keep that in mind.
Great tips, donnie!
You know… that Digital bathroom looks downright cool! Man… would be awesome to get my hands on something like that someday instead using the old ways of showering, especially since I always like warm temperatures I could set it to my preferred temp so easily.
Till then,

Awesome! and these tips did worked for me….cheers Sophia!
Of course this could be helpful but is it necessary? Maybe not just yet. I think that in upcoming years we will observe the growing role of any automations that appear in our life. Still, we can do anything at home manually, so I think this could be more helpful for people who are sick or old, and can’t do everything by themselves.
I highly doubt I will have much automation in my home anytime soon. It all seems like unnecessary luxury. I wouldn’t mind having lights that automatically turn on when I enter a room, but I definitely don’t need a digital shower. I think people expected a lot more innovation in home automation by now, but for most it is luxuries that we can live without.
Great tips, donnie!
For now, home automation will probably remain a luxury and something for those who do have special needs – it’s very helpful in that case.
It certainly does seem like a very cool idea, though, and is probably pretty likely to catch on eventually – if only because we all tend to be pretty lazy, and love a good gadget. I think digital kitchen appliances sound great.

WOW I love the idea of home automation, so MODERNISTIC. I would also love an automated shower, why just today I accidentally entered my shower when it was FREEZING COLD, both that water and the air so it was even worse when I came out.
If you already have high speed internet service in your home. Your wireless router and internet modem are in place. You simply connect your existing router via an ethernet cable to a smart automation controller that plugs into a nearby power outlet. Then you then plug your porch lamp into another smart module and plug that module into a nearby power outlet. After you set up your system you are ready to go!
You can check via the internet to see whether your porch lights are off or on. You can instruct your controller to dim the light. You can instruct your porch lamp to turn on automatically at sunset, and turn off at sunrise.
Thanks for sharing. I think we don’t really need it, It is just a waste of money.
It’s important to underline the fact that you don’t have to be as rich as Bill Gates to invest in home automation. For example, garage door automation can be as ‘cheap as chips’ offering great flexibility to your lifestyle.
This is a great article for sure. I have bookmarked the site so that I can keep track of your progress in the future. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Hey. This is a cool site, keep up the great work! I will be bookmarking the site so that I can keep track of your progress. Happy a great Christmas.:D
Although Home Automation sounds good, it really has to be affordable and easy to use in order for the masses to embrace it.
Since we’re now in the age where everything is now done for us, its kinda hard to adopt to the old tradtion.. ALl appliances and electronic items have just developed so fast that its getting ahead of us without our knowledge! scary dont you think?
LOL - it's kinda giving me a bit of technophobia, but hey - advanced tech used appropriately will benefit us greatly, don't you think?
Any feedback from you?
