1. Easily Create The Perfect Home Environment

There are many smart tech solutions that come into play when you want to make your spaces more enjoyable. For example, you can incorporate stylish motorized shades that manage your natural lighting, a high-end AV system to enjoy the best entertainment, smart lighting solutions to craft the right mood around your home, and a home security system to keep your property safe. However, in order to truly enjoy the luxury and convenience these technologies provide, you need to be able to effortlessly manage every system and device.

Often, smart home technologies can be controlled using an app on your smartphone. While this may seem quick and convenient, having an app for each and every technology will soon make things just as inconvenient as manually adjusting everything. To tackle this issue, our team can help you integrate it all (yes, even those technologies that don't natively talk to each other) into one user-friendly app, allowing you to customize your surroundings without the hassle. 

2. Keep Your Heart, Body & Mind Healthy

Americans spend around 90% of their time indoors. This disconnection from natural sunlight can lead to several physical and mental health issues, such as insomnia, weakened immune system, increased stress, anxiety, high risk for heart disease, and more. While many of these problems can be prevented by spending more time outdoors, the truth is that many people don't have the time to sit back and relax in nature. But no worries! Smart home automation technologies are great tools to keep you healthy and happy. 

For example, you can program your smart lights to adjust their color temperature and intensity throughout the day to mimic the changes in sunlight. This will blur the lines between your indoor and outdoor spaces and help you regulate your circadian rhythm, the natural process with which your body controls your sleep-wake cycle.  

3. Save the Planet with an Eco-Friendly Lifestyle

The planet needs us now more than ever before, and smart home automation is one of the greatest ways to minimize energy consumption and reduce your carbon footprint. For example, you can schedule your motorized shades to rise early in the morning and keep your spaces illuminated and warmed up during the day. Then, as nighttime approaches, your shades will automatically close, preventing your home's heat from escaping through the windows while also providing you with enhanced privacy. This will allow you to keep your home at a comfortable temperature without relying on your HVAC system entirely.

You can also program your lights to turn off automatically when you leave for work and then turn them back on at night just before your arrival. You'll come home to a beautiful, comfortable space without having to lift a finger.
