Home automation programs are becoming more prevalent in U.S. homes than ever before, and one of the most promising outgrowths of this trend is energy savings, which helps homeowners save money. Have you ever been miles away from home, only to realize you’ve left the heat on? New advances in home automation are making this issue a thing of the past, by letting you control your home’s heating, cooling, lighting and security, from any location, with just the touch of a button. A new combined home security and home automation system called SAGE marries two home systems that are typically handled separately into one user-friendly home automation system with an easy-to-use mobile app. The SAGE security system is DIY, and it eliminates the 3rd party setup, monitoring, and monthly-fees racket that most consumers have come to expect from home security systems. With innovative new combined home systems like this, saving energy, lowering utility bills, and protecting your home and data is becoming more streamlined and user-friendly, not-to-mention more affordable for homeowners.
Ready to protect your home while saving money and energy? You’re in luck. Enter below and you could win your very own SAGE system, including the SAGE Home Automation Kit, LED lightbulbs, lamp dimmers, security cameras, and a deadbolt lock.

Studies have proven that home automation systems bring impressive energy and cost savings. Research has shown that, on average, households with home automation systems save nearly $1,400 per year on home insurance and energy. Home heating and cooling is one the biggest energy suckers on the planet.
The SAGE system connects to your television and iOS and Android phone or tablet, allowing you to monitor your house, whether at home or on the go. The all-in-one technology allows you to easily control most devices including lights, thermostats, window sensors, door locks and security cameras.
SAGE also offers customizable programming for every scenario so that you can complete several tasks with just one click. For instance, when leaving your home or office you can easily shut off all the lights and engage your security system in one single click. Vice versa, you can program to your lights to automatically switch on when you arrive, and even schedule your coffeemaker to make your first cup of joe in the morning. It might not seem like huge savings at first glance, but over time you’ll find that small changes in your habits really do add up.
SAGE can be integrated into your home through either a DIY or professional installation. It’s also a much more affordable option for home security and automation, because, instead of the monthly fees you get with traditional home security systems, the system is self-monitored, and you can add or remove products and services as you please.
