CONVENIENCE & COMFORT, HOME AUTOMATION
The world of technology is constantly advancing and with that comes the rise of home automation. Home automation, also known as smart home, refers to a system that allows you to control and manage various aspects of your home through a centralized network. This includes things like lighting, home audio, heating/cooling, security systems, entertainment systems, and even kitchen appliances. Having a home automation system brings all those things together to collectively enhance your home.
A simple goodbye command can ensure that your lights are turned off, your smart thermostats are adjusted, your TVs and music are turned off, and your home is secured and protected. It’s just one example of everything working together to save you time, energy and money. Simply control your lights, automatic shades, door locks, alarm system, AV system, surveillance cameras, pool, and more from an elegant hand-held remote, touch screen, or from your mobile device and you have control from anywhere.
Home Audio/Video System Distribution
The beauty of a home automation system, also known as a smart home system, is that it simplifies the way you interact with technology. Not only can it control your lights, thermostats, and security systems, but it also has the ability to manage all of your sources for music and video content. With a centralized audio and video (AV) distribution system, you no longer have to worry about changing inputs or searching for the right remote. Whether it's your cable or satellite box, Apple TV, Roku, or any other source of music or video content, you can easily access and enjoy it from any location in your house, in any room that you desire.
Home Lighting Control
Integrating lights into your home automation system is a must-have feature for any modern smart home. Not only does it add convenience and ease to your daily routine, but it also enhances the security and energy efficiency of your home. With integrated lighting, you can effortlessly control all your home lighting with the press of a button. No more getting up to turn off the lights before bed or walking into a dark room to turn on a light. Everything can be controlled seamlessly through your home automation system.
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 smart home 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 and the convenience of a smart climate control system cannot be overstated. Not only does it allow you to enjoy the perfect temperature inside, but it also helps you save on energy costs while maintaining supreme comfort.
Video Surveillance
Integrating video surveillance into your home automation system creates a safer and more secure home. With a video surveillance system, you’ll be able to monitor your property in real-time, review recorded video, and receive notifications when cameras detect motion, or a person is present. Integrate your smart home security with your automation system you’ll easily be able to communicate with visitors, control door locks and motorized gates, or trigger an alarm in an emergency, all from one app on your mobile device.
Motorized Shades
Integrating your motorized shades with your home 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 automatic blinds, 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!
Home Alarm & Security System
Have you ever left your house and wondered if your TV was still on or maybe you forgot to turn off the music you were listening to in your backyard? These little concerns may seem trivial, but they can cause a lot of stress and inconvenience. This is where smart home security comes in. With an alarm system tied to your smart home, simply arming your alarm can tell the other systems throughout your home to adjust or turn off automatically. This means no more worrying about leaving appliances running or forgetting to lock doors before leaving the house. Safety, security, and convenience.
Home Automation — Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What exactly does a home automation system control?
A home automation (or smart home) system is a centralized network that ties together the different technology in your house, including lighting, home audio, heating and cooling, security systems, entertainment systems, and even kitchen appliances. Instead of managing each of those separately, the system brings them together so they work in concert, saving you time, energy, and money.
Q: How do I actually control everything once it's set up?
You can control your lights, automatic shades, door locks, alarm system, AV system, surveillance cameras, pool, and more from an elegant hand-held remote, a touch screen, or your mobile device. That gives you control from anywhere, and even lets a single command, like a "goodbye" scene, turn off your lights, adjust your thermostat, shut off the TVs and music, and secure your home all at once.
Q: Can the system handle streaming music and video to different rooms?
Yes. A centralized audio and video distribution system means you no longer have to worry about changing inputs or hunting for the right remote. Whether the source is your cable or satellite box, Apple TV, Roku, or another music or video source, you can access and enjoy it from any room in the house.
Q: How does home automation improve my home's security?
Integrating video surveillance into your automation system lets you monitor your property in real time, review recorded video, and get notifications when a camera detects motion or a person. Tying your alarm and security system into the same platform also means arming the alarm can automatically tell other systems in the home to adjust or turn off, so you're not left wondering whether the TV is still on or a door is unlocked after you've left.
Q: Can my shades, lighting, and thermostat work together automatically?
Yes, motorized shades, lighting, and climate control can all be tied together based on the time of day and temperature. For example, your shades can rise and your lights can dim in the morning, and as it warms up later in the day, the shades can lower, the temperature can adjust, and the lighting can shift, all without you touching a switch. Your smart thermostat can also be set to adjust based on the daily weather, a schedule, or direct control from your mobile device.
