4 Must Have Smart Home Features to Upgrade Every Room

Are you looking for increased efficiency, productivity, and safety at home? Then, consider installing these five smart updates for lighting, security, entertainment, and more.

1. Entertainment Upgrades

Multi-room Wi-Fi home audio systems let you play DJ throughout your home—with full control over the sound. This is perfect for families with distinct schedules. Everyone in the household can play and schedule their music, playlists, and shows within their desired timelines. These systems are a breeze with features like controlling volume, turning things on or off, and using voice commands.

2. Smart Vent Systems

A climate control system is a great way to add comfort and luxury. Equipped with sensors that monitor the temperature of every room, these systems automatically adjust the temperature in each space according to the settings you establish. Some can even adapt to the temperature outside. Unlike other systems that must be set on a physical panel, these are controlled by an app on your phone, so there's no need to worry if you forget to turn off the air conditioner before you leave for vacation.

3. Lighting and Window Treatments

Smart lighting is more than just turning the lights on and off. A smart lighting system lets you automate mood lighting, altering the color and brightness to suit your needs. Additionally, sensors can detect your presence or absence to control the ambient lighting in each room which is an excellent way to save on energy bills.

4. Security Solutions

Smart security systems do much more than just report break-ins to first responders. Long-life battery systems can last up to two years and track indoor, outdoor, and doorbell activity. As a result, homes with exposed porches, where bad weather could damage traditional camera systems, and vacation homes that are vacant for long stretches would benefit significantly from smart security systems.
