Smart Home
Smart Homes, Done Better
Today's smart home systems are designed to not only simplify your technology, but to anticipate your needs and react accordingly. With a home automation system, all of the various parts of your smart home can work together to provide solutions which enhance your home and simplify your life. Whether you want to simply control your lights, thermostats, and security system individually, or would like a single press of a button to arm your alarm, turn off your lights, and adjust your thermostats down to conserve energy, we are here to help provide you with the convenience you want, along with the reliability and control that you need.
Audio Distribution Owning an audio distribution system not only gives you instant access to a world of music, but integrated into your home automation system, allows you to easily control your music and the other systems in your home like lighting and climate control simultaneously at the push of a button. Quickly get your home entertainment ready; select the areas you want to fill with music, select your playlist, adjust the volume, dim the lights, and set the temperature, all from a single push of a button.
Video Distribution Introducing video distribution into your home automation system is a great way to access your favorite video streaming services, Blu-Ray movies, and other video sources throughout the home on any TV without cluttering up each room with redundant equipment. Additionally, you get a ton of great features like watching your favorite show in one room and finishing it up in another or simultaneously cueing up a new movie while dimming lights and closing shades to instantly create that movie theater feel at home.
Security & Alarm The integration of a security system with your home automation system will provide enhanced benefits and functionality that benefit both. When integrated together, we can use the sensors and status of your security system to trigger other events. For example, opening your front door can turn on your interior lights to greet you at night, or arming your alarm when you leave can turn your lights off, adjust your thermostats, and lock your doors behind you.
Motorized Shades Integrating your motorized shades with your automation system allows you to control your lighting, thermostats, and shades all in unison based on the time of day and the temperature. Start your morning with your shades raised, your lights at a lower setting, and your thermostat adjusted accordingly. As it gets warmer, lower the shades, reduce the temperature, and adjust the lighting levels to create a more comfortable environment, all without any interaction with your system. Now that’s smart!
Climate Control Feel comfortable in your own space. With a smart climate control system, you won’t have to continually battle the elements and seasons outside to enjoy the temperature inside. Set your thermostat to adjust based on the daily weather, a schedule, or control your home’s temperature directly from your mobile device. Convenience is key with a controllable solution that can help you balance energy costs with supreme comfort.
Video Surveillance With video surveillance as part of your home automation system, you can view your cameras, recordings, and have full control over the rest of your home’s security with a single app. Receive notifications if someone is at your door and then choose to intercom and speak with them or let them in by unlocking it, all from the same app on your phone from almost anywhere in the world. You can even have motion detected from the cameras turn on lights around your home for added security and convenience.
Pool & Spa Integration The scene is set for maximum party mode when you integrate your pool and spa control into your home automation system. Cue up the back yard by turning on your water features, starting your play list, and igniting your fire features. Now all you need are the guests. Maintain total control of your pool along with the rest of your home from the palm of your hand and keep your guests entertained throughout your property. A single push of a button turns to evening mode to keep the party going longer.
Irrigation Control Tired of having your sprinklers on when it’s raining or maybe you forget to turn them on and your grass is no longer looking as green as it once was? Integrating your irrigation system as part of your smart home automation system allows for intelligent watering. Don’t just create a schedule, have total control based on the weather, the season, and monitor activity from the convenience of your phone or control interface. Be in total control and ensure your landscaping is looking the best it can.
Voice Control We all laugh when Siri tells us a joke, but did you know digital assistants like Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant are capable of so much more? The latest step in smart home automation is the integration of voice control, and with simple voice commands you can control your entire smart home. From lighting control, motorized shades, and even as an intercom allowing you to speak to family in different rooms, voice control is giving our clients complete control over their home.
Intercom Video intercom systems are a wonderful addition to a smart home. These devices allow you to communicate with visitors at your gate or door, and to family members and guests between rooms in your home from touchscreens or your mobile device. Tied in with home automation, you’re also able to control the rest of your home in response, from opening gates to allow visitors in or unlocking doors if someone gets locked out.
