These Are the Signature Smart Home Control Systems That Enhance Your Lifestyle

What is a smart home? Many people may have opinions on the definition, but we feel it's a home that makes various intelligently controlled home functions work together. It's more than intelligent climate control and lighting automation; it's how they work together, so the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. 

You could have a semi-smart home with only one or two of these features. But if you have all four under the umbrella of a smart home control system, you've got the nucleus of a smart home, one that will make a noticeable difference in your Park City, UT lifestyle. Let's explore these four features below.

Smart Lighting

Perhaps no other smart home feature is as helpful as lighting. It makes your home more efficient by turning lights off when not needed. It frees you from the tyranny of a light switch per set of lights, turning lights on or off whole rooms, multiple areas, the entire house, or your outdoor spaces. You can control lights by voice, multifunctional wall keypads, schedules, and sensors. It can instantly create a custom ambiance in your home with one touch governing a slew of lights to precise settings. And smart lighting plays well with the other signature features of a smart home, adding value at every turn. 

Whole-Home Audio

Whole-home audio is an easier and more convenient way to enjoy your entertainment. Instead of multiple systems in different rooms of your home, a whole-home audio system gives you one method of listening to high-fidelity audio all over your residence, even outdoors. Choose your pleasure, from the most popular streaming audio services to your personal CD or vinyl collection, podcasts, or TV sound, and enjoy it anywhere and everywhere. Your speakers are neatly encased in walls and ceilings, and they are discreetly hidden outdoors under patio eaves or landscaping. Your control might be a dedicated touchscreen, customized AV remote, or that smart device that's never far; your smartphone. Simplified, easy-to-access entertainment is an integral part of the smart home lifestyle. 

Smart Climate Control and Shading

Forgive us for a two-for-one on this feature, but they go so well together. Most everyone understands the convenience of smart thermostats to control HVAC systems and optimize their usage based on weather, people being home, and comfort preferences. Motorized shading and window treatments take comfort and efficiency to the next level, letting you manage sunlight, heat gain, your desired level of natural light, and UV exposure of your interiors. Couple these two features with temperature sensors, and you have a much smarter way of controlling climate and comfort all over your home, achieving the "Goldilocks" setting for every room. Smart shading also plays well in optimizing lighting in your home for every part of the day, adding to privacy and security.

Smart Security

Smart security combines features like cameras and smart locks with your smart home control system to give you peace of mind. Your smart home system can automatically set your alarm and start the cameras recording as soon as you are a mile away from home, or it can do so on a schedule or by pressing a "good night" button at your bedside. The other significant benefit of smart security is remote control; you can keep an eye on your home from anywhere with an internet connection. If you get an alert or see something, you can instantly take action. Smart security gives you peace of mind that your family and property are safe. And smart security can also use your smart lighting and shading to create a more private abode while home or away.
