Make Life a Little Easier with Smart Home Automation

Let Your Home Prepare Itself for You in Advance

Have you noticed the many routine tasks we do in a day? Our alarms wake us at a set time each morning. We turn on the lights and then head to the bathroom, where we turn on more lights and the water, waiting for it to warm. Next, we walk to the kitchen and grab some coffee before adjusting the thermostat and turning on the TV to check out the latest weather forecast for the Tampa, FL area.  

We open the shades to enjoy the beautiful view and head to the patio for a moment of peace before going back upstairs to dress for the day. Before we head out for work, we turn off all the lights, lower the shades, and set the temperature. Only after we lock the door and arm the alarm do we realize we forgot to lock the back door. And so it goes. 

Fortunately, there is a better way. It’s called smart home automation, and it performs many of our daily tasks while creating the perfect environment for our everyday activities and special occasions. Let’s look at life in a smart home.

The Essence of a Smart Home

Your home automation platform is the brains behind your smart home. At Acadian Home Theater & Automation, we partner with Control4, one of the leaders in smart home technology. Their platform controls your many systems and connected devices, including lights, shades, climate, security, pool and spa, and entertainment. These systems not only connect to Control4 but also to each other, creating an ecosystem of interconnected devices,

Control4 offers multiple options for controlling your home, from your smartphone to designated touchscreens, remotes, in-wall keypads, and voice control. Additionally, much of your home is automated, performing tasks with no effort on your part. A distributed audio-video system makes managing every AV device effortless and brings high-performance audio to every room in your home via nearly invisible speakers. 

Your Day Reimagined in a Smart Home

You wake to sunlight filtering in your bedroom windows as your shades slowly raise. Your “Good Morning” playlist streams through your home, increasing in volume every few minutes to gently nudge you from sleep. The lights gradually brighten, resembling the color of the rising sun. The temperature has already adjusted to a preset level.

You head to the bathroom, where the water's prewarmed and the lights set to your chosen hue. In the kitchen, your latte's made, and the TV displays your favorite newscast. The shades have already risen, letting you enjoy the view and another beautiful morning. When it’s time to head to work, you tap the “Away” button on the in-wall keypad by the door, and your lights dim, the temperature adjusts, the shades lower, the doors lock, and the alarm arms. 

This is just a small glimpse into the possibilities available in a smart home.
