Smart Home

Simple Whole-Home Control

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.

Intelligent Lighting

Integrating lights into your home automation system is one of the most popular features in a smart home. Effortlessly control all of your lights with the press of a button. Program your lights to come on at certain times of the day when you are out of town so it looks like you are still home. Set home scenes with lighting, shades, and your audio/video systems all working together in sync by just pressing a single button like "watch TV" or "party mode." Bring simplicity to your home with lighting integration.

Security and Alarm

When your security system is connected to your home automation system, both deliver enhanced functionality. For example, arming your alarm can turn off all of your lights, adjust your thermostat to away mode, and lock your doors.

In the event of an alarm, your security system can notify the proper authorities while your automation system can be triggered to flash the lights throughout the home to make it easier for first responders to locate your residence. Working together—now that's smart!

Video Surveillance

Adding a surveillance system to your smart home allows multiple systems to work together, improving your security. With the latest camera technology, motion from a person walking to your door, or on your property, can trigger other events to happen. Your doors could lock, a voice notification could be sent over your speakers to alert a potential trespasser, and a text could be sent to you. You could then view the cameras directly from your home automation app and have total control of your home.

Climate Control

Imagine living in a home where you rarely had to fiddle with the thermostat because it was always at a comfortable temperature. Smart climate control allows you to create your ideal, comfortable space with minimal effort. Combine automation, artificial intelligence (AI), sensors, integration of your HVAC system, and even radiant flooring. Your home will be working hard behind the scenes to keep you at your favorite temp so you don’t have to.

Audio & Video Distribution

The power of centralized distribution, as part of a home automation system puts you in total command of all of your audio and video sources while being hidden remotely in one convenient centralized location. Listen to different sources in different rooms, watch different shows throughout the house, or bring it all together for a party mode and listen or watch the same thing everywhere. This also allows you to start a show or song in one room and then continue watching or listening in another.

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!
