Main reasons for home automation of a holiday home.
On occasion we have told you that at gHouse we carry out comprehensive turnkey construction projects that address all phases of the project, from the first sketch of the home to its construction and subsequent equipment, including interior design work in Mallorca, which also includes the installation of home automation systems or high-end audiovisual equipment.
In this sense, you may think that it is not worthwhile to home automate a holiday home. Perhaps the fact of spending very specific periods of time in it is the main reason why you do not want to invest in this type of installation. Or perhaps it is because it is a property that you are renting out to third parties and you are not considering making this investment that other people will enjoy.
In any case, the “holiday” dimension of a house often makes people not want to implement certain measures that, in the long run, are very positive, revalue the house and avoid economic waste, as is the case of home automation. Do you want to know why you should automate your holiday home? Today we tell you in this article.
Reasons for home automation of a holiday home.
Domotising a holiday home has become a growing trend due to the multiple benefits it offers, both for those who use it personally during their periods of rest and for those who rent it out to third parties. Domotics involves the automation of various home functions through the use of advanced technology, so it is always going to be positive to consider investing in this aspect. Here are a few reasons why:
1.- Safer housing
Firstly, security is one of the most compelling reasons for home automation of a holiday home. Automated security systems such as surveillance cameras, motion sensors, smoke and water controls, smart alarms… allow the property to be monitored in real time from anywhere in the world. This is especially useful for homeowners who are not permanent residents, as they can receive immediate alerts in case of suspicious activity and take action to protect their property. In addition, the ability to remotely control electronic locks adds an extra layer of security, providing access only to authorised persons.
2.- More efficient housing
Another crucial reason for installing home automation in your holiday home is energy saving and resource efficiency. The automation of lighting, heating, air conditioning and domestic appliance systems allows for a more rational use of energy. For example, schedules can be programmed to turn lights on and off or adjust the temperature according to the occupancy of the property. This not only reduces costs, but also contributes to environmental sustainability, an aspect increasingly valued by users and potential tenants.
3.- A more comfortable home
The comfort provided by home automation in your holiday home is another aspect to take into account. Home automation facilitates the creation of personalised and comfortable environments, as it allows the control of different systems through a single device, such as a smartphone or tablet. For example, the heating or air conditioning can be switched on before arriving at the home, ensuring a comfortable temperature. In addition, voice assistants and integrated entertainment systems enhance the user experience, making the stay more pleasant and relaxing.
4.- A better valued home
For holiday home renters, home automation can be a differentiating factor in an increasingly competitive market. Tenants value comfort and modernity, and a property equipped with advanced technology can attract a greater number of customers and justify higher rental rates.
In addition, remote property management allows owners to monitor property usage, control access and resolve technical and logistical issues efficiently, improving customer satisfaction and reducing downtime between rentals.
5.- Better preserved housing
Finally, home automation will make your holiday home better maintained by offering practical solutions for managing the maintenance and upkeep of the property. For example, humidity and leakage sensors can alert you to problems before they become irreparable damage, or automated irrigation systems ensure that gardens and green areas are kept in perfect condition without you having to keep a close eye on them. In short, smart homes are kept in better condition.
Well, as you will have seen, whether you want to build a holiday home on this island or you already have one, we encourage you to improve it with the installation of a home automation system adapted to your needs. And if your idea is to rent it out, home automation will facilitate many aspects and provide you with extra security.
