Take Command of Every Corner in Your Home

Take Command of Every Corner in Your Home

A fully automated home makes life easier for everyone.  Motorized shades that’ll lower to keep the hot sun out, lights that can dim or brighten, and music that can follow you throughout your space – it doesn’t get any more luxurious!

But there’s an initial question most Dallas, TX homeowners have before they get smart home control – how are they going to manage all of this without getting a headache?

Your cohesive, centralized system means you can use one source to control every single smart technology and feature in your home.  But what type of devices are best for you?

Below, we go into the various options you can choose from, and which ones might fit you and your family best.  Keep reading to find out more!

Remotes & Keypads

A designated keypad, touch panel, or remote for your control system brings complete simplicity to its use.

If you’re entertaining guests or even just making your way around the home – a keypad or panel on the wall makes it easy to turn down the lights, turn up the thermostat, or lower a projector to watch a movie.

Touch panels can blend in seamlessly with your walls, so as not to be obtrusive.  But if you want to keep them noticeable, guests and family can have an easier time finding and using them.

Remotes are also handy and have their particular purpose – they can be taken with someone into any part of the home.

Smartphones or Tablets

Sometimes, the easiest smart device to control your home with is the one that’s already in your hands.  As you go about your day or even if you’re away from your home, you can pull out your smartphone.

Make sure the doors are locked, the security alarm is set, and all the lights have been turned off – right on your phone’s screen, even if you’re miles away.

A tablet is also very accessible, has a larger screen, and has a great user interface, as well.

Sensors & Timers

Maybe you don’t want to have to push a button or consistently check your phone to keep updating what your smart tech must do.  That’s when your automated home can take that burden out of your hands – literally.

Set your shades and lights on timers to operate at scheduled hours of the day, or when the sense the sun shining through the windows.  Timers can also turn on the TV when a show comes on in the evening, or turn on your favorite playlist once your alarm goes off in the morning.

You can install motion sensors that can detect if someone has left a room in the house, and they tell your system to shut off the lights once a space is vacant.

These options for smart control are not only convenient and comfortable – but they can also save you energy!

Smart home control doesn’t have to seem overwhelming.  Want to learn more about this smart feature?
