MORE ON OUTDOORS: 4 Things You Didn’t Know About Audio For Outdoor Living Spaces

5 Smart Home Features You’ll Love to Take Outdoors

Technology doesn’t need to be confined by walls, but with Kansas City's harsh temperature swings and varying weather conditions, any type of device, from the component itself to its low-voltage wiring, faces a few unique challenges.

Here are five innovative solutions that work just as effectively in your outdoor spaces as they do inside your home, as long as you work with a professional AV integrator like Applause.

1. Integrated Lighting Control

Lighting systems extend beautifully to outdoor spaces, creating the perfect ambiance for any occasion. Motion sensors can trigger pathway lights for safety, while scheduled scenes automatically turn fixtures on or off based on the time of day or special events.

2. Security and Surveillance

Advanced security systems are useful indoors and out, and the latest models include weather-resistant cameras, smart doorbells, and motion sensors that can trigger lighting and audio responses for expansive property-wide safety.

3. Entertainment Distribution

Whole-home audio and video distribution systems make it easy to stream movies and music, access personal music libraries, and view video content anywhere. Enjoy it all on specially-rated outdoor TVs and speakers designed to withstand whatever mother nature can toss at them, from wind and rain to insects and debris.

4. Smart Home Automation

This feature extends indoor convenience to outdoor spaces through weather-resistant components that let you control everything from lighting and audio to climate and security through your smartphone, a smart remote, a touchscreen, or an on-wall keypad.

5. Wi-Fi

View or listen to your favorite streaming content or scroll on your smartphone hassle-free thanks to powerful wireless access points that bring robust connectivity to every corner of the yard. Networking is the powerful foundation that keeps all your devices connected and working as they should.

Creating a Premium Outdoor Lifestyle with James Loudspeaker

Imagine hosting a summer barbecue where the music flows from the kitchen to your patio, or enjoy a quiet evening by the pool with perfectly balanced background music. These experiences are made possible through precisely engineered speakers that are strategically placed around your property. 

Speakers by James, a Sonance company, stand out in the industry due to their marine-grade construction—a technology developed through years of experience in the superyacht industry. These speakers are engineered to maintain pristine sound quality while enduring salt air, extreme temperatures, and moisture. Scorching summers and freezing winters are no match for these powerful solutions.

Besides simply playing music and TV audio, you can incorporate speakers into your daily routines through advanced home automation integration. With it, you can:

• Control multiple outdoor zones from your smartphone

• Adjust volume levels based on time of day or outdoor activities

• Synchronize your outdoor lighting with your audio system

• Create scheduled scenes for different occasions

Professional Speaker Installation Makes the Difference

While the technology behind outdoor audio systems is complex, experiencing it should be simple. That’s why the Applause team handles all of the system design, installation, and post-installation support you need, including:

• Optimal speaker placement for balanced sound coverage

• Proper weatherproofing and protection

• Expert integration with existing home automation systems

• Future-proof design that accommodates system upgrades
