SEE WHAT YOU’VE BEEN MISSING  

We’ve been shading our windows much the same way for hundreds of years. Pulling on chords, tugging on fabric—it’s time-consuming if you need to do it multiple times a day. And in large homes with hard-to-reach windows, you may just leave the shades open. 

That is, until motorized shades. Motorized shades aren’t a brand-new concept, but Lutron has refined the technology to perform seamlessly across the house through automated schedules and smart commands. And Lutron is committed to its motorized shading business— it’s recently broken ground on a new 145,000-square-foot shading factory in Virginia. 

If you still use manual shades and blinds in your Westlake, TX home, see what you’ve been missing below. And if you’re curious about installing Lutron shades, contact Texadia Systems here. 

WHICH ROUTE SHOULD YOU TAKE? 

If you’re interested in a new lighting design for your home, you have two options: taking the do-it-yourself (DIY) route or hiring a professional lighting designer. While DIY may seem appealing due to lower costs, there is a trade-off. 

In this blog, we'll compare the pros and cons of each approach, highlighting the limitations of DIY lighting design and the benefits of working with a professional. Looking for lighting design services in the Southlake, TX, area? Contact Texadia Systems here! 

AN ALL-IN-ONE SMART SYSTEM FOR YOUR HOME 

When you Google “how to build a smart home,” you’ll find many blog posts and articles about video doorbells, Wi-Fi-connected bulbs, and other gadgets. These devices are technically “smart,” but collecting smart devices does not make a smart home. With each DIY device, you’ll have to use its own app or remote for control. 

And is that really convenient if you need to swipe through pages of apps to use your house? We don’t think so. A smart home should have everything consolidated in one place. There are DIY smart hubs that claim to connect your tech under one roof. But unless you’re an IT wiz, these hubs can’t carry out complex automation and will still have compatibility issues.

Luckily, there’s a better way. A smart home provider like Savant integrates with all your home devices, so you’ll control them through a single smart system. Savant can automate your home with sophistication and customization that DIY solutions simply can’t offer.  

But Savant can’t be ordered online and set up in an afternoon. You’ll need to work with a certified Savant dealer to install the system across your house. Here’s what a Savant dealer can do for your Westlake, TX, home. Ready to get started? Contact Texadia Systems here.

ALL THAT’S POSSIBLE WHEN YOU SWITCH TO THE CLOUD

When it comes to commercial security systems, businesses have two options: on-site or cloud-based security. While a hybrid of both is possible, legacy systems generally are stored and controlled on-premises, while newer systems operate on the cloud. 

If your Fort Worth, TX, company is looking to upgrade outdated tech or start with a new system, here’s why you should move your security platform to the cloud. Ready to get started? Contact Texadia Systems here.

How Service Plans Benefit the Smart Homeowner 

As technology advances, smart home automation has become increasingly popular among homeowners in the Southlake, TX, area. A smart home can offer convenience, comfort, and security with access to all the home’s devices from one central location.

Why does it seem like during the most important meetings, technology fails? Maybe it only feels that way, but we’ve all experienced tech not working when we need it most. 

As the modern workplace moves further online with virtual communication and video conferencing, it’s essential to have systems in place that are intuitive to use and troubleshoot.

Unify Teams, Collaborate & Succeed Across Different Locations 

What is a digital workplace? Put simply, it’s a network of connected technologies that allow a business to communicate, store and share information, and conduct business virtually. Today’s digital workplace solutions are so sophisticated that entire companies can function remotely without stepping into a physical office. 

Whether your company is remote, hybrid, or has different office locations, the digital workplace is the future of modern business. With the right tools, your teams can still perform all their daily obligations and seamlessly join meetings, even if they’re time zones away. In-person companies can benefit from the digital workplace, too. You'll be prepared if staff travels for work or far-away clients want to communicate virtually. 

Here’s what you’ll need to create a digital workplace for your Dallas, TX, business. And to get started, contact Texadia Systems here! 

Make the Most of Hybrid Work & Your Conference Rooms  

We hear it all too often from all different businesses: “We come into the office, but we don’t meet.” Or, “We still conduct meetings from our desks on our computers. Everyone is still separated.”

How Good Can Smart Lighting Be?

For anyone that loves new technology or has a passion for interior design, smart lighting control is an exciting new addition to any home. While smart lighting has been eagerly buzzed about in recent years, there’s a wide range of LED lighting products available to choose from. 

At the lower end, you’ll find DIY smart bulbs like the Philips Hue models that can be screwed into lamp fixtures and connected to your phone over Wi-Fi. But smart lighting can get much more sophisticated than this, with high-end Ketra lighting fixtures and Lutron systems that offer whole-home control. 

If you’re interested in lighting control, you have some options. Are you fine with lower-grade LED solutions or ready for luxury systems like Ketra? We compare both below to help you find the best option.

A Look at Coastal Source’s New Razor Speakers

Coastal Source has long been a significant player in the outdoor audio industry. Its satellite and bollard speakers are built to endure all weather conditions while blending into natural landscaping. 

But now Coastal Source has unveiled a new, exciting line of outdoor audio—the Razor speakers. Razor brings true high-fidelity audio to wall-mounted exterior speakers, the first of its kind. “We’ve become known for landscape speakers that go out in the yard,” says Coastal Source president Franco D’Ascanio. “But our dealers want us to bring that same quality to patios and decks.”

Embrace the Future of Business Communication

When companies fail to adapt, they often get left behind. From Blockbuster to BlackBerry phones, brands that didn’t get ahead of the digital revolution soon became relics of the past.

Those examples may seem extreme, but if your business hasn’t adapted to hybrid meetings yet, will that cause issues down the line? You may encounter clients or partners that want to communicate over video call, and your in-person team won’t be able to adequately meet with them. That could send a subconscious signal that your company is behind the times. 

With a smart video conferencing system in place, your Dallas, TX, staff can seamlessly join video calls even with a room full of people. Here’s how it works and why it will help your teams grow and thrive.

Choose Whichever Methods Work for Your Business’s Security

How does your business manage who can enter your buildings? Do you use physical keys or card readers—or trust someone at a front desk to monitor everyone who walks inside?

If you’re looking to boost security for your Plano, TX, business, remote access control systems offer a convenient and secure way to manage and restrict access to your company’s facilities and sensitive areas. Rather than use one computer to manage access control, a remote system lets you do it all through the cloud. So across multiple devices, you can log in and add new users, adjust permissions, and revoke access to terminated employees.

But which access control method is right for your business? There are various types of access control systems on the market, each with its own set of features and benefits. In this blog post, we’ll explore some of the most popular options.

Could your business benefit from updated access control or security technology? Contact Texadia Systems to learn more. 

DMF’s LED Lighting Fixtures Aren’t One-Size-Fits-All

We’ve written on this blog about how the key to great lighting design is in layers. Ideally, a room shouldn’t be illuminated only by a few overhead lights. Mixing ambient, accent, and task lighting layers will bring depth and emotion to the room with the freedom to add or remove lights for life’s different activities. 

When we need to source LED lighting fixtures for a lighting design project, time and time again, we look to DMF Lighting. DMF engineers and manufactures high-end LED light fixtures with modular housings for its range of lighting products. DMF’s warm-dim and color-tunable technology make it the perfect choice for smart lighting control systems.

Last year, DMF unveiled its new small aperture downlight, a revolutionary product for the lighting industry. Here’s what small aperture lighting means and why it can do wonders for your Dallas, TX, home.

Sync & Listen to Music in Every Area of Your Home 

How do you listen to music today? Maybe you use a portable Bluetooth speaker or voice-activated device that connects to music streaming. Or perhaps you have a turntable system with a pair of loudspeakers on either side of the record player. 

Whichever method you use, that can only fill one room at a time with music. Some people try to spread music by blasting their speaker’s volume, which is incredibly unpleasant for anyone standing close to the speaker and leads to poor quality sound. But there’s a better way to enjoy music, podcasts, and audiobooks at home: a whole-home audio system. 

Whole home audio works by connecting speakers to play in unison across your house. And with weatherproof speakers in the lawn, you can extend multi-room listening outdoors, too. 

How does it work—and what are your options? Here’s how to get started with whole-home audio in your Dallas, TX home. And to learn more about multi-room audio installations, contact Texadia Systems here.
