How A Home Automation System Transforms Daily Life
Managing Your California Home Has Never Been Easier
Orange County, CA, offers some of the most luxurious living in the state. From homes stretched along white-sand beaches or overlooking the bluffs to equestrian properties in secluded locations, it’s hard to beat this land of sunshine, gorgeous beaches, and theme parks.
Many Orange County homeowners are just starting to dip their toes into the sea of limitless possibilities known as smart home systems. Some may begin with automated lighting and shades or smart security systems, but the magic truly happens when your whole home is integrated. What do we mean by integrated? Read more to find out!

An Integrated Home
Imagine all of the connected electronic devices you have in your home. There are your televisions, stereos, lights, shades, HVAC systems, appliances, security cameras, and so much more. Now, imagine all those devices communicating with each other and with a smart home automation system.
With this level of integration, you can control all of these systems with one touch on the same user-friendly platform and, with one look, determine what lights are on, if a door was left unlocked, and the tunes playing out in your backyard. Pretty remarkable, right?
Smart homes can also manage your home’s energy and water usage. Away from home? Automate your lights and shades to make the house seem occupied. With today’s technology, it really is possible to create a customized system that caters to the unique needs and lifestyles of the homeowners.
Setting the Scenes
One of the best features of a smart home is controlling multiple systems simultaneously. We accomplish this by programming scenes unique to your preferences. For example, some of our clients appreciate a home that wakes them gently and prepares for them in advance.
Setting a “Good Morning” scene will ensure your shades raise slowly at a designated time and your favorite morning playlist begins streaming softly through your whole-home audio. In the kitchen, you’ll find the morning newscaster sharing the latest happenings on your smart TV.
If you enjoy the sauna or spa first thing in the morning, we’ll program those to heat up in advance while adjusting your home’s thermostat to a comfortable setting.
Throughout the day, your home adapts to changing temperatures and light. It raises and lowers the shades; dims, brightens, and changes the color of the lights; and turns off the lights when someone leaves a room.
A smart home also communicates with you. It sends alerts when someone comes to the door, or should the house’s temperature rise unexpectedly. When water is found in the basement, or if humidity builds up in the art room, you’ll receive a notification right away. You'll stay connected to your home 24/7, no matter where you are in the world.
