Game of Drones: New York Home Automation & the Internet of Things

The internet of things is the new buzzword that is taking the technology and design world by storm. What exactly is this “internet of things”? Can it hurt? Can it help? Can you have an internet of things? The answer to all those questions is YES. The internet of things and New York Home Automation projects have been incorporated to bring unprecedented and futuristic ideas that are poised to spark immense lifestyle changes across North America.

The internet of things is essentially the notion that everything you use…everything… will be connected to a network. The network is completely automated and will incorporate previously unconnected and obsolete home items to your life. The advantages of this are easy to see. For example the technology exists, through Nest Products Westchester NY, to have your thermostat turn down when you leave your home. Your thermostat turns down to save you energy while you are not home. Your CCTV systems are monitored from your handheld, miles away, and you live a more convenient and comfortable life.

The latest and most anticipated piece of the new internet of things is Amazon PrimeAir. No this is not an airline that you can take with your Kindle, this is a drone delivery service that is fully automated. The features are functional and Amazon is leading the way, only waiting on FAA approval. Autonomous drones are set to deliver goods purchased online on Amazon.com to your doorstep for selected areas in thirty minutes or less. Imagine adding this to your New York Home Automation project.

The ease of ordering online is now even easier than it has ever been. For example let’s say you are having a party, listening to your Savant Systems Westchester NY sound system in your home when for whatever reason (I would say you trip over a wire, but wires are now also part of the past) one of the speaker cuts out. The party is starting to die down when you remember the internet of things and your fully functional New York Home Automation. You fire up the iPhone and order a new speaker and in less than thirty minutes the speaker is dropped at your door by drone. The speaker and the party turn up as they should. The only problem now is getting from the party to the front door to take the speaker out the package…there isn’t an automation solution for that yet.

The conveniences that drones will add to the world of New York Home Automation projects and the internet of things are something that has only been thought of in the Jetsons thus far, but the more one reads about automation the more you learn that there is no such thing science fiction.
