Leave the House in a Breeze
When heading out the door, who has time to walk from room to room, turning off lights and pulling on shades? With an integrated smart home, you can tap a button by the door labeled “Away,” which does it all for you.
Instantly, lights across the house will power down. Motorized window shades can lower, and the heating or AC will stop running. If anything is playing on your stereo system or TV, it will stop, too. If you leave at night, the system will ‘know’ to keep specific lights on in designated areas.
And if you forget something? Even if you’re miles away, you can open your smart home app and turn it off or on remotely.
Effortless Lighting Control
Imagine if your lights knew exactly when to turn on and how you’d like them to appear. A smart system like Crestron, Control4, or Lutron allows you to schedule lights to follow your routine, including color and brightness adjustments.
Plus, When>>Then automations provide ‘digital instructions’ to your lights and other solutions, so when one action happens, lights will respond automatically. If your car pulls into the garage, for instance, the system can automatically turn on first-floor lights in all the right places. If someone’s already home and the lights are already on? It won’t make any changes. Smart homes like these are intelligent enough to know the context of your home and will make adjustments accordingly.
Always the Perfect Temperature
Managing HVAC becomes an effortless experience in a smart home, sparing you from any manual intervention. As you start the day, sensors across the house communicate with your air conditioning or heating, guaranteeing an optimal and comfortable temperature. And when you step out of your home, occupancy sensors and preset schedules automatically trigger your HVAC system to power down or lower/raise the temperature. You won’t have to remember to switch it off manually!
Easier Entertainment
You don’t need to use a different remote for the projector, Blu-ray player, speakers, etc. In a real smart home, all your entertainment controls are consolidated into one. From a single app or handheld remote, you can select your favorite streaming services and then seamlessly switch to a Blu-ray DVD or the record player. And when you’re on the go? Use voice control to swiftly find the media you’re looking for.
Hosting Friends
Hosting parties and get-togethers can be stressful, but it’s simple in a smart home. With just one command, you can adjust outdoor and indoor lights to a cozy atmosphere and instantly start playing music over whole-home speakers. You’ll hear the doorbell over your sound system and can remotely unlock the door from the backyard and speak to guests through the two-way intercom system. There’s nothing to stress about now!
