Tips From The Top

It’s that time of year again, when we see an avalanche of online sales for smart home technology that promises to make our homes lives easier and better than ever before.

At certain times of the year – big online sales, or the holiday gift season – it’s easy to get excited about buying smart home technology. We can see why. There are so many new, shiny options out there, and they all appeal to our basic need to live comfortably and securely. With so many new products available every day, and now AI tech offering even more, so much of it seems like a really good idea to homeowners.

Except there’s a problem: Too much smart home tech with no integration makes for really bad smart home tech.

Technology is supposed to make our home lives easier, more manageable, more comfortable and secure. But poorly integrated tech can result in a home that doesn’t work at all, and only causes more headaches to the home owner.

Which is where we step in. 

As integrators, we protect our clients and their homes by ensuring the technology works together in a way that works best for the home owner. We also make sure it’s easy to use and complements their personal design aesthetic. We work across all systems –security, A/V, lighting, climate control, and more – to bring our clients the technology that takes their dream home to beyond their wildest dreams. 

In many cases, we are brought in early in the building process and work alongside architects, contractors, and interior designers to make sure new construction or remodeling projects support both existing and future technology needs. 

A seamlessly integrated home does more than offer top-north security and entertainment options. It also increases energy efficiency and adds to the bottom line, saving our clients money and increasing their home’s resale value in the future.

Our home platform systems – including Savant – make it easy for our clients to control their home’s climate, security, lighting, and more, from anywhere in the world. AI adds to the cost savings, when energy systems can anticipate and react to weather and power usage patterns. Heating and cooling, window shading, and appliance usage can all react to benefit the home owner’s bottom line. Automated lighting can mimic a family’s patterns at home even when they’re gone, or when everybody’s home, turn off lights that often get left on (teenagers, anyone?).

And when everything is coordinated in a united system, the home owner can easily manage all their home tech in a way that really does improve their security, comfort, and overall quality of life.

It’s easy to get caught up in all the shiny new tech out there – but don’t get caught in a tangled net of too many systems without a unified base.
