From Warm to Cool, Bright to Dim, and Everything In Between 

From wine to cheese, speakers to cars, every industry has its low-end and high-end varieties. And the same applies to smart lighting. 

While DIY smart LEDs are available in stores like Target, these Wi-Fi and Bluetooth bulbs are only entry-level devices. You can connect your phone to a few bulbs, select from a palette of colors, and dim the lights. 

But that’s only just dipping your toes. With a high-end lighting control system, you can simultaneously adjust the mood and atmosphere for entire rooms or the whole house. You can control indoor and outdoor lights even when you’re away from home. 

You won’t depend on Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to control the lights, either, and can use wall keypads, remotes, and voice commands in addition to phone control. Plus, bulbs are only the start—there are also linear lights, track lights, downlights, and more. 

So where can you find such sophistication? Ketra. Ketra is the smart lighting brand favored by lighting designers worldwide. Explore the vast capabilities Ketra can offer your Dallas, TX, home below.

Sync Outdoor TVs, Audio & Lighting to One System 

Imagine this: you step out onto your patio or lawn, and with a tap of a button, landscape lights activate to the perfect color and brightness settings. At the same time, the outdoor TV turns on, and weatherproof speakers connect at the ideal volume level. With multiple speakers installed around your living area, you enjoy media with rich, detailed sound. 

All of this is difficult to achieve on your own. Professional outdoor entertainment systems, like those you may see at an outdoor restaurant or venue, use control systems only available through certified dealers (like Control4 and Savant) and require strategically installed low-voltage wiring. 

When you hire an integrator to install an outdoor entertainment system, the results are immersive, seamless, and easy to use. Consider the following possibilities!

Improving the Zoom Room Experience with Q-SYS

Zoom Rooms have become a staple for modern meetings, sharing, and collaboration for businesses across the country. They offer features such as HD video and audio, one-touch meeting join, content sharing, and hardware interoperability. However, controlling other room devices like displays, lighting, shades, and HVAC often requires separate remotes or interfaces, leading to inconvenience and confusion.

Stopping mid-meeting to fiddle with cables and controls can be distracting and confusing for those unfamiliar with all the different technologies. Thankfully, there’s a solution to this jumble. 

Enter Q-SYS Control, a platform for audio, video, and control. The new Q-SYS Control for the Zoom Rooms app allows users to manage various endpoints directly from the standard Zoom Rooms controller. Q-SYS simplifies the configuration process with a wide range of third-party device plugins. Users can access Q-SYS Room Controls from the same touch screen they use to manage their Zoom meetings, eliminating the need to switch devices.

Here’s how Q-SYS for Zoom Rooms works and can help your business. Curious to learn more? Contact Texadia Systems in Dallas–Fort Worth, TX.
