The Difference Between Smart Technology and Home Automation

Many people are jumping on the smart technology bandwagon. This may include purchasing smart bulbs, smart TVs, and video doorbell cameras. While these devices offer enjoyment, safety, and beauty, they are a far cry from a fully automated home. 

When smart devices are purchased separately, you end up with numerous apps to control the various connected technologies, none of which work in tandem. Home automation, on the other hand, consists of one platform that controls all your smart devices and systems. These systems communicate with the home automation platform and each other, creating an ecosystem that manages your home effortlessly. 

Your audio, video, climate, lighting, shades, security, pool, spa, and more are all controlled via one intuitive, user-friendly interface. In addition to one-touch control, automation refers to the many tasks your home performs “automatically,” with no effort on your part.  

Life in an Automated Home

At Applause Custom Sight & Sound, we partner with Control4, the leading innovator in home automation. By getting to know you and your family’s lifestyle, we create a customized smart home controlled by the Control4 platform. We’ll schedule varying automated tasks based on preset schedules, sensors, and your location. 

For example, in the morning, your shades rise, the “Good Morning” playlist streams through the bedroom, and the temperature adjusts. The morning news starts playing on the TV near the kitchen, and the lighting resembles the color of sunrise. These scheduled tasks continue throughout the day, transforming lights, motorized window treatments, and much more. 

Your smart home can even prepare itself for you when you pull into the driveway after work: unlocking the doors, turning on the entryway lights, streaming a playlist through the home, igniting the fireplace, and heating the spa. Every one of our smart homes is unique and customized to our clients’ preferences, routines, and leisure activities. 

Always in the Know

A smart home keeps you updated on the happenings in and around your home, whether you’re at home or out of town. Your home's status can be viewed on your mobile device or touchscreen and lets you know if someone forgot to turn a light off, shut a window, or close the garage door. With one touch, wherever you are, you can turn every device on or off.

Are you ready to explore the incredible world of smart home living? We’ve only scratched the very surface of what’s possible with this easy-to-use technology. To learn more about home automation or to schedule a complimentary consultation, contact Applause Custom Sight & Sound today.
