Got Smart Devices? Orchestrate Them with a Home Automation System

Professional-Strength Home Automation Makes It All Work Together

Most everyone has some kind of smart device these days, even if they're not technically into home automation. For example, devices like Nest thermostats are hugely popular, and some people love them in their homes purely for their design! Similarly, smart speakers from Sonos, Amazon, and Google are also popular for various entertainment and automation functions.                                                                                                

While smart devices like a Nest thermostat are excellent by themselves, they become even more powerful when they can work with other smart features in your home. Wouldn’t it be better if your New York Hamptons home could synchronize powered shading, air conditioning, and lighting to manage summer comfort perfectly? That's what an automation company like Home Technology Experts can bring to the table with professionally installed home automation solutions.   

Keep reading below to see how to integrate smart devices into a state-of-the-art Hamptons smart home.

INTEGRATING LIGHTING CONTROL

Lutron is one of the premier names in lighting control. Their commercial solutions manage lighting in the New York Times building in Manhattan, and they have three solution ranges for residences from simple to expansive. Lutron has partnered or built-in integration possibilities for lighting control with virtually every home automation platform. While Lutron has its own automation solution for lighting, smart thermostats, and motorized window treatments, it works well with others.

For example, a Lutron lighting scene can incorporate sound from a Sonos audio speaker or set of speakers. Press a button, and your lighting can dim to set a relaxed mood along with a favorite jazz playlist while opening the shades to admire your water view. And you can do it from an app, a custom Lutron wall-mounted keypad, or even a voice command through Alexa or Google.

 

FULL HOME AUTOMATION AND CONTROL

What about even more home automation? How can you coordinate security, lighting, HVAC, window treatments, pool and spa controls, and AV systems? That's where a full home automation solution like Control4 or Savant excels. Both can play well with other systems and devices.

For example, both Control4 and Savant can be the umbrella that ties a Lutron lighting solution with other smart devices and features. The home automation system can connect whole-home audio, window shading, home theater and media room control, HVAC, and security. Savant recently announced a partnership with Ring where the Ring X line of security devices like video doorbells, security cameras, and gate access control will work with Savant home automation. Control4 works with thousands of smart devices, including those sleek Nest thermostats.

With a full home automation system, your home becomes more secure, efficient, and comfortable. Set up and manage complex automation easily with features like Control4 When>>Then and Savant Scenes. Get the lighting, temperature, music, and window light just right in any room with a tap of a button. And the best part? You have the choice of smart devices and solutions that fit you while still having one point of control to lord over all of them.
