Home automation technology is getting more and more popular, and I’m super giddy about it. I’m not a big gadget person, although my dad totally is. I remember him getting a digital watch in the early ‘90s and putting his entire address book in it. It had that tiny keyboard on it. No matter where we were, we could look up an address and send a letter to my aunt in California or find a phone number and call one of his colleagues from work. Now, all of that information is in our phones along with the power to manage lighting, door locks, security, refrigerators, grocery lists and even irrigation. We have been adding automation to our home little by little over the last few years and I’m going to give you the rundown on what we have, why we have it, what I want to get more of and what I would have done differently.
