Home automation and security gets smart

29 January 2020 Smart Home Automation

No matter what industry you work in or what your job description is, we all live in a home and spend a significant part of our lives there. As with everything in our modern world, homes are getting ‘smarter’ through the use of technology, as are the appliances and devices we use and rely on every day.

At Technews Publishing, we know that most of our readers are fundamentally interested in technology, and as homeowners there are an increasing number of ways in which technology can make our lives easier – whether it’s telling Alexa to switch on the TV or being notified of a break-in at your house through an app on your smartphone.

As the phenomenon of smart home automation and security gathers pace relentlessly, we have created a new ‘Smart Home Automation’ category on the websites of all of our publications – Dataweek, Hi-Tech Security Solutions, SA Instrumentation & Control, and Motion Control. Hand in hand with this, we will be sending monthly email news briefs to keep you in touch with the latest happenings in this exciting market.

We hope and trust that you find the information in this, and the news briefs that follow, both interesting and useful in your daily life.
