Leaving NYC? You're not alone. Automating your new home eases the transition.

New Yorkers are leaving the city in record numbers! Dubbed the “pandemic exodus” by Long Island’s ABC 7 News, the increase is so intense it’s even causing havoc with local moving companies.

Homeowners in the midst of it have a lot to deal with, too. And it’s not just about coordinating the movers -- changing homes can have surprising psychological effects. That’s why it’s paramount to establish a safe, happy, and healthy environment in your new residence.

Smart home integration can help. With an automation system, you can lock every door, adjust the lights' brightness and intensity, and play your favorite songs anywhere in your property -- all from a single, intuitive control interface.

The Psychology of Moving

Moving is a lot of work. You have to coordinate delivery dates, clear out your old property, and say goodbye to the home you know and love. Plus, you have to set up a brand-new place where you and your family feel safe and comfortable. But there's another aspect that you might not realize is taking its toll: panic.

In a 2010 piece called “The Psychology of Moving, Manhattan,” psychoanalyst Ronnie Greenberg told New York Times: “Panic can really set in around your home and your apartment. It’s a matrix of safety, so moving is incredibly stressful and people don’t realize it — they mainly talk about the packing and the external part of moving.”

Today, that panic might seem even more overwhelming. So, it’s imperative to set up the most comfortable, convenient, and safest aspects of your home before you even move in. With a smart automation system that reacts to your circadian rhythms, simplifies security and promotes happiness, the right technology can make your home a welcome retreat from big city life. 

3 Systems That Make a House a (Comfortable) Home

All it takes to turn a house into a home is a loving family. But with the right automation technology, you can quickly turn your new residence into a cozy place that’s perfect for everyone.

Lighting, security, and entertainment technology alleviate the panic by putting wellness and safety controls in the palm of your hand. With the tap of a single button, you can lock every door, dim the lights, and set up your room for movie night. And automation can do more than that. Check out some of the benefits below.

Tunable lighting promotes wellness by automatically adjusting your lights' brightness and intensity to match your circadian rhythms. Your eyes send signals to your brain about the changes, just like they do with changing sunlight, so you're more active in the day and ready for rest at night.

Smart locks secure every entryway with the touch of a button. When you’re ready for bed or about to leave the house, one tap on an integrated controller will lock every door, including internal ones for the wine cabinet or your home office. You can also grant entry remotely to trusted friends and neighbors.

A whole-home audio system delivers high-performance playback to every room of your home. And it's good news, too, because science shows that music creates dopamine in your brain -- otherwise known as the “happy hormone.”

And you can control everything with a single, intuitive smart home automation system.
