How AI Integrations Work

To be sure, there are a wide variety of smart home automations already available in the market. It can be challenging for integrators to understand the true end-user benefits from device integrations. Users can now control smart home functions via an all-in-one app, but that control is elevated with the addition of AI, which enables users to also program customizable routines via their apps. With just a few clicks, users can control and automate routines for everything from motorized window coverings, fire safety, door locks, thermostats, lights and security systems.

One of the ways AI integrations enable automation is through programming scenes. These scenes execute automatically when the system detects that occupants are either away or have returned home. For example, home occupants could program their AI smart home device to automatically lower shades when they leave the home, or to adjust the lights and thermostats depending on different lighting and temperature conditions. AI-powered smart cameras improve property surveillance by adjusting the lighting of video footage in real-time during dusk or at night so occupants can better monitor the outdoors even in poor lighting conditions.

When considering whether to install video security cameras inside elevators, or doorbell cameras, security integrators should opt for devices that incorporate AI for enhanced security and user experiences.
