The classic 1950s science fiction story There Will Come Soft Rains by Ray Bradbury centres on an automated house. The house, despite the homeowners' long-ago passing, zealously upholds its tasks — making toast, cleaning, relaying the news, closing the window shutters. The title itself references a poem the house recites every night at six — a favourite of the absentee hostess.
In 2020, with the likes of Alexa, Google and Siri, this kind of scenario is no longer science fiction. Houses can do what you tell them to — they can turn on the heat before you get home, your washing machine can talk to your smart electricity meter, and the average kindergartener can click an app to water the plants.

Quantify Technology has been servicing the home automation space since 2015. This month, the company’s smart home solutions will make an elegant feature on 9Life’s Ready Set Reno. It’s an exciting confluence of design and user-friendly tech in a Hamptons style homestead, owned by media personality and interior design veteran Natalee Bowen.
Natalee has been in the design industry for over 20 years. Her unique style, which combines the class of the prestigious Hamptons with the tropical lush of the coast, quickly brought her recognition and many industry awards.
