What are Home Automation Systems?
Home automation systems, also known as smart home solutions, are smart systems that are integrated throughout your home. They are designed to simplify everyday actions and activities, such as watching television, turning on lights, or even locking the door.
A home automation system becomes live once your respective smart home device is integrated with the internet. Once it has a wifi connection, that device can be controlled through wireless smart technology. With a secure internet connection, you’ll have the ability to control, change, and monitor your home’s smart devices through a smartphone application or software.
What makes a home automation system so unique is that you can control your devices from virtually anywhere. Once you’ve automated a smart device, you’ll be able to turn them on, off, or even pre-set them to your family’s schedule. The door can unlock exactly when the kids come home from school, and relock right behind them. Instead of manually turning your lights on and off, adjusting the thermostat after you get home, or arming your security system yourself, all of this can be done from one smart device in, or outside, of your home.
How do Home Automation Systems Work?
Now that we know a little more about home automation, let’s take a closer look at how exactly home automation systems and smart home solutions work.
Smart home automation sounds like a complex term, but it’s more straightforward than you’d think! A smart home automation system, whether it’s a thermostat, speaker, or security system, is installed in your home like any other device. Once it’s installed, the device(s) are connected to a secure wireless network. After this connection is established, the device goes live, and you can then use a tablet or smartphone to control and adjust the settings of your smart devices.
Home automation systems operate when you tell them to! Your smart devices can sense or be told what to do from predetermined controls, so you can decide exactly when and how your smart home devices will operate.
Home automation systems are controlled in three different ways – through actuators, sensors, and controllers. Sensors are most common in smart doorbells, thermostats, and security systems, where your system adjusts or notifies you based on changes in motion. Actuators are when your respective device receives power, and this usually happens in a large home automation system such as a stereo, that requires a great amount of power. Controllers are capable of sending and receiving messages and signals from your smart home devices and are typically sent from a homeowner’s smart home device.
After installation, these smart home solutions are easy to stay connected to and can be monitored remotely. They do most of the hard work on their own, but with a little outside assistance, it’s easy to keep tabs on all of your smart home devices.

How we Bring Home Automation to Your Door
Every homeowner has different home automation needs, so depending on your home and personal preference, we can make your smart home vision a reality.
Our team can install whole-house A/V services during the home building process to provide seamless integration and the highest functionality between your devices. Before the building process is complete, we work within your home to craft a centralized audio/video system that pipes music, video, and cable signals throughout your home. With a centralized system, you’ll only see the speakers and TV screens, not the cables and cords required to make your system come to life.
How can you control your smart home system? Through a multitude of devices, such as handheld remotes, smart tablets, or wall-mounted control panels. The centralized components of your system can be hidden away in a closet, so you don’t have to see your control panels, or mounted in an impressive rack system array in your living room.
It’s important to note that some of our systems may have additional DVD and CS players located locally in various rooms for convenience. If correctly configured, these DVD and CD players can be viewed or listened to in the room they are located in, as well as any other room in your home. There are many ways of configuring a whole house A/V system, so depending on your requirements and budget, our team will pick a system that works best for your needs.
Do we offer Pre-Wiring Services?
When it comes to creating a smart home, we tend to think about the final product, rather than what goes on behind the scenes. Whether you’re installing a home theater, surround sound speakers, or a smart home security system, there is a lot of initial preparation that goes into operating these innovative products. Before we can create your smart home of the future, we first have to lay down the groundwork.
Instead of dealing with the complexities of wiring and installation, our integrative pre-wiring services can operate and connect all your smart home solutions at once. Our prewiring services are the discrete but necessary automation service that takes your home to the next level, so when we get to work, all of your favorite devices are concealed and fully functioning.
