Home/Business Automation Problems And Solutions

People have problems with automation and we have solutions. When you opt to “install” your own smart devices instead of going through a professional installation team, problems are prone to pop up. So, here are some common problems and our solutions for any automated space:

Problem:

It can be really fun to imagine an automated home, research how to make that happen, buy your favorite of every smart device (smart tvs, thermostats, digital locks, cameras, sensors etc.), set them all up and sit back to watch the magic; only to realize that the products don’t work together and aren’t synchronized.

Solution: 

You need a smart home hub! When We Are More installs a smart hub, different types of devices can work together so you can enjoy the automated home you envisioned.

Problem:

Without proper installation, devices might not connect to your network or they might frequently disconnect.

Solution:

We Are More can provide new routers that are stronger and faster for a strengthened and more efficient connection. After upgrading and implementing a better router, this issue should be fixed.

Problem:

When people opt to implement smart devices in their home, office, or business, they can notice that sometimes those products or systems malfunction by working incorrectly or activating at the wrong times. Specifically when it comes to sensors and other smart security devices, like cameras.

Solution:

Human recognition features and smart zones. These can eliminate certain people or areas that cameras would otherwise start recording, or that sensors might pick up; such as household members, or pets. We Are More can install and customize your security system so that only unidentified persons are detected and recorded. This will also help save battery life, which leads to our next point.

Problem:

When owning battery powered smart home devices, their batteries can run out too fast. 

Solution:

Sometimes installing smart devices where there is a weak WiFi signal, they will drain their battery faster. However, putting these devices right next to your WiFi router isn’t ideal for their function. We Are More can re-install your devices, or install new ones that better fit your needs, in the correct areas of your home. 
“Check your device’s settings and make sure you’re in range of a good Wi-Fi signal. Just like your smartphone, your smart devices will run their batteries dry a lot faster if they’re constantly looking for a signal or straining to maintain one. Moving your devices just a few feet closer to your home’s network can have a dramatic impact on their battery life.

Problem:

Being able to use an app to control your automation is fun until you realize that’s the only way you can control it. What happens if you lose your smart device? 

Solution:

You need physical controls too! There’s nothing wrong with having a smart app, it’s one of the perks of home/business automation because of the effortless management and overall convenience. Contact We Are More to install physical controls, which include smart switches, control panels, and/or a remote. 

Note: Custom automated systems include traditional controls and/or smart switches, talk to We Are More about these options.

Problem:

It’s your first movie night in your new home theater and nothing is turning on. This is most likely because your surge protector is either not turned on or not plugged in.

Solution:

Plug it in and turn it on. That’s it.
