Living a Life of Luxury Through Home Automation

Redefining Ease, Beauty, and Entertainment

While homeowners throughout Seattle, WA, enjoy what many would call a luxurious lifestyle, some have yet to adopt the technology that transforms the everyday into the extraordinary. It’s called home automation, and it provides unprecedented ease of living, enhanced beauty, and unrivaled home entertainment.

So, why the hesitation? For some, there is growing uncertainty in technology due to its repeated unkept promise that it will make life easier. In many ways, of course, it has. In other ways, however, it seems to have muddied the waters, requiring more time to accomplish less. Today, smartphone owners use about ten apps every day. If you’ve tip-toed into the sea of smart devices, you may have an app to control each one, from lights to security cameras, door locks, and music devices. 

Dealing with different apps and devices quickly turns from ease and fascination to frustration. Fortunately, there is a better way. And it’s called a home automation system.

What Is a Home Automation System? 

At the core of home automation is the smart home operating system that connects to all your devices and your home network. This platform is the brains behind your smart home, communicating with every connected system and allowing the systems to communicate with each other.

Now, all your devices work together, a seamless exchange of information. One tap on a touchscreen, keypad, or remote, and your home responds with the ideal lighting, climate, and entertainment. Your home also reacts to environmental changes, like automatically lowering the shades when the sun heats the south-facing rooms. From your mobile device, you can manage your entire home from anywhere.

Some integrated smart home technologies include HVAC systems, lighting, shades, security cameras, smart door locks, audio and video devices, pool and spa controls, and more. To successfully deploy the latest technology requires a certified, expert integrator who stays current on the ever-changing advancements in the industry.

Working with Garrett Integrated Systems 

At Garrett Integrated Systems, we’ve earned HTA Certified Luxury. This means the Home Technology Association has evaluated our company and meets their uncompromising standards. At the luxury level, we’ve been deemed experts on projects requiring advanced technology in residences typically up to 10,000 square feet. The projects usually involve high-end architecture and design, and high-performance home audio and entertainment. Normally, we collaborate with builders, architects, and interior designers. 

This in-depth knowledge enables our team of automation experts to program the system to align with your unique preferences and lifestyle, from window coverings opening at sunrise to lighting that reflects the changing color of daylight. Your smart home now performs the everyday tasks you routinely undertake from when you rise until you retire. 

For instance, your home automatically knows when you arrive and leave and performs specific functions. When you leave, it lowers the shades, dims the lights, locks the doors, and arms the alarm. When you return, it greets you with stunning landscape lighting. The thermostat adjusts, and your welcome home playlist streams through in-ceiling speakers when you enter. 

 

These examples of smart technology at work merely scratch the surface of what’s possible. To learn more about home automation or to schedule a complimentary consultation, contact Garrett Integrated Systems today.
