More and more homes want to be smart homes. At Aliseda Real Estate we tell you what the 4 benefits of home automation sensors are.
As we have already mentioned in previous posts, home automation is present in four out of every ten homes in Spain and expects even greater growth by 2024.
The installation of this set of technologies applied to intelligent home control and automation works as follows; They collect information about the environment or the home, process the user's information and instructions and execute the actions requested by the home automation center.
Smart homes use technology and modern construction techniques to give homeowners a new level of control over their property.
4 benefits of sensors for home automation
Security.
Security is one of the biggest advantages in home automation. Therefore, there are several sensors designed to guarantee this security, such as motion sensors, which capture the movement of people and, normally, these come integrated with a set of cameras that monitor access to the home.
Another sensor that guarantees security at home is the gas sensor, which, with the help of an alarm system, warns of possible gas leaks caused by the different home appliances that use it.
This detects the accumulation of all types of gases, such as carbon monoxide (CO2), which is highly harmful to people's health.
In terms of security, we must also take into account humidity and flood sensors, which are the main cause of coating in homes, and these allow us to detect them in time.
For their part, smoke detectors are the most useful tool to prevent fires. They are able to identify the abnormal accumulation of smoke in different spaces and subsequently send orders to calm the fire or notify the owners and specialists as soon as possible.
Temperature control.
Thanks to the climate sensors, the temperatures in the different spaces within the home are controlled. Thus, this sensor captures the external degrees and is responsible for regulating the internal operating system of the homes and also allows setting the temperature desired by the tenants in a programmed manner.
This type of device has the task of enabling the intelligent operation of the different devices that determine the temperature in the home, such as heating, air conditioning or even the opening and closing of blinds.

Energy savings.
Lighting sensors not only replace traditional switches but also ensure energy savings.
These devices regulate the entire home lighting system, generating significant savings. They can even generate a kind of blinking in order to alert you about the arrival of guests in your house.
Likewise, within this group of sensors, we also find water sensors, which are responsible for dispensing the necessary water when they detect movement near them. We usually see these sensors in public taps or sinks but they are also used to fill containers such as tanks, reservoirs and wells, where they represent the greatest savings.
Comfort.
Among the devices that provide us with greater comfort when turning a home into a smart one, contact sensors stand out. These are intended to detect the end of the travel of mechanical components and are what allow the automatic opening and closing of doors.
