Home automation systems are designed with multiple layers of security, but it’s important to use strong passwords, regular software updates, and secure Wi-Fi networks to protect your system.

The cost of home automation services varies depending on the devices, the complexity of the system, and whether professional installation is required. Basic systems can be affordable, while more advanced setups may involve higher costs.

Some home automation devices continue to function offline or with limited features if your Wi-Fi goes down, but many require an internet connection for full functionality.
