Get More Out of Your Smart Technology With a Home Automation System

Now that smart technology has become mainstream–available in retail stores across the country–why is a professional smart home installation ever needed? With smart lights, locks, cameras, thermostats, speakers, refrigerators and more available directly to the consumer, what is the point in having a home automation system?

While many of the devices on the market are great (we even include them in our systems), they can become a problem once you have more than a handful installed.

Extend the Reach of Your Signal with Professional Wireless Networking 

Are you looking for ways to deal with signal dead spots in your home? Unfortunately, adding boosters may not be enough when you live in an area like Mandeville, LA, where cellular networks drop regularly. Thankfully, cell phone providers have found a solution that doesn’t involve expensive infrastructure upgrades – Wi-Fi calling.

Wi-Fi calling allows you to make and receive calls using your broadband network. While this solution can be a lifesaver, it can also lead to additional headaches if not done properly. Wi-Fi calling will further congest your network traffic, and on a phone call, even the slightest lag in signal will disrupt the call. 

Here we outline the most important wireless networking features if you’re looking to integrate Wi-Fi calling and why Wi-Fi 6, in particular, is a must-have upgrade.

How Deliberate Planning Results in the Ultimate Viewing Experience

Now that there’s more content than ever available to watch at home, it’s no surprise home theaters are a hot commodity.

Home theater design should be more purposeful than that, with a solution geared specifically to your viewing preferences.

Enjoy an engaging, comfortable theater with a design-first approach that starts with a one-on-one consultation and ends with a detailed walk-through of your system. Surround sound solutions, displays and even control options will vary depending on if you want to primarily watch movies, play games, or watch sports in your theater. Or what if you're going to do all of the above?

As you read this blog, you’ll see how personal preferences will affect every aspect of your theater in your Tampa, FL, home.
