The Key to a Successful Smart Home

​It's no secret that smart home technology is growing increasingly popular in modern homes. More homes than ever include smart devices, from smart thermostats to voice-activated speakers.

But there's a difference between owning some smart gadgets and having a fully-integrated smart home. What do we mean by an integrated smart home? We're referring to a centralized control system that connects to all the electronics in your St. Louis, MO, home. That way, you can access all devices from a single interface.

Here's why home technology integration is so important for a successful smart home experience!

Why Home Integration Matters​

​You likely don't need a fully integrated smart home if you only want a single smart speaker or thermostat. But if you desire smart lighting across the whole house, a multi-room speaker system, or property-wide security, you'll need a simple, streamlined way to access all these devices.

Home integration syncs all your technologies into one system. Just like how a smartphone consolidates tools and entertainment into one device, an integrated home syncs all your subsystems. Lighting, audio, video, security, HVAC, and more become accessible through the same app, remote, or wall keypad buttons. With everything easy to find in one place, you'll get more use out of your smart home and won't have to juggle different apps or remotes. 

Benefits of Home Technology Integration

​When everything's connected to one system, that's where the magic happens. An integrated automation system offers many advantages, including:

1. Convenience - Control your home from anywhere and access lighting, temperature, security, and more from the palm of your hand.
2. Energy Efficiency - By automating your home's temperature and lighting, you can ensure that energy is not wasted when you're not at home.
3. Stronger Security - An integrated home lets you monitor cameras, door locks, and alarms from one place with the ability to remotely control the system.
4. Easier Entertainment - You'll control music, movies, and TV across the house, easily selecting and sharing media with your devices.
