You are sat in your garden watching the sunset and just as the sun goes down, your garden lights & indoor lights start to rise, you go inside and the room starts to warm up and your shades start to shut.
The design of your home automation system is the important part and if your home automation professional gets that right then the rest is simple and can have the ability to grow with you and your family allowing you to keep adding and adjusting along the way.
