Where Do You Start When Turning Your House into a Smart Home?

Are you considering a renovation or remodel designed to turn your house in Raleigh, NC, into a smart home? The first question is where to start. While smart devices, such as light bulbs or video doorbells, are relatively straightforward to integrate, they are far different from a well-designed and integrated smart home. These systems offer a home automation platform that manages your entire house, from lighting to shades, audio-video equipment, climate, security, and more. 

One of the first steps is ensuring your devices are compatible. All the connected devices in a smart home work together, creating the perfect environment for every occasion. Tap the 'Entertain' button on a custom-engraved keypad, and the lights throughout your home and outdoor areas settle into the perfect hues and intensities, a high-resolution playlist streams through in-ceiling and landscape speakers, and the doors unlock to welcome your guests. 

It's a lot to consider. And it’s the interplay between your devices that truly makes a smart home ‘smart.’ While much of an intelligent home is wiring, the automated response is also due to sensors, programmed schedules, motion detectors, and geofencing—the technology that lets your smart home prepare itself for you in advance.
