Managing Your Home Has Never Been Easier 

A smart home system like Savant has the power to consolidate all your home’s technologies into one platform. Just like our smartphones can call, text, navigate GPS, and search the web, automation includes all of your house’s subsystems under one umbrella. You can access lighting, audio, video, security, HVAC, and more from one intelligent controller.

If you’re curious about home automation, Savant has been one of the leading names in the industry since 2005. But what does smart home living really look like? And what will your daily routine be like with a Savant home automation system in Dallas? 

Until you’ve seen Savant in action, it’s hard to fully grasp what an automated home is like. But as a Savant dealer based in the Plano, TX, area, we’ll share what you can expect with a new smart home system.

The Ins & Outs of A Multi-Room Speaker System

Have you experienced a whole home audio system before? Just like a restaurant or shopping mall can play the same musical content across multiple rooms, so can your house. Managed from a single system like Control4 on your favorite device, you can adjust the volume, skip tracks, and select different media for every room. Perfect for hosting parties or listening to a podcast while you walk across the house, music enjoyment is now possible in every area.

But how does the technology work? We’ll highlight three ways we can install a whole home audio system in your Dallas, TX, house below.

See How A Control4 Smart System Works—Up Close & Personal 

Are you ready to turn your Dallas home “smart?” There are a handful of luxury smart systems to choose from, but Control4 is one of the biggest names worldwide. 

With Control4, homeowners sync their lighting, security, audio, thermostats, and more into one intuitive system. Tap “Good Morning” on the Control4 app or a wall keypad, and your house will prepare itself for the day, raising blinds and adjusting the temperature. 

But unless you’ve seen Control4 at a friend or relative’s house, you might not know what a true smart home looks like. If you’re located in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, you can witness home automation in action at our Control4 Certified Showroom. 

As a certified Control4 dealer, we help homeowners make the most of their automated homes. You can learn more in our free monthly newsletter with articles on smart systems, home theaters, AV, and security. See what you can expect in our Control4 Dallas showroom below! 

Style & Atmosphere by Smart Lighting Solutions 

What is smart lighting control? At its core, lighting control is the ability to automate or remotely control your home’s lights. But with a high-end system like Lutron or Control4, you can take your LED lights far beyond convenience (although that is an incredible benefit). 

With a professionally-installed lighting control system, you can elevate your home’s ambiance to a level you normally only see in interior design magazines and movies. With color-tunable lights, customized keypads, and more, your home will look better than ever. 

Read on to discover how lighting control can bring style and class to your Dallas, TX home. And if you’d like to learn more about a lighting system installation? Contact Texadia Systems here to start the conversation! 

Smart Home Control Is Done Right with Just One App

If you use multi-room audio, a home surveillance camera, and a smart lighting system in your home, there’s no reason to manage each piece separately. Technology is supposed to make life easier—not more complicated. Although the advances in technology would seemingly save us time, most of us still feel as busy as ever.

But with a Control4 smart home control system, you can merge all of your technology under one umbrella, even devices made by different manufacturers. From the Control4 app, you can manage lighting, audio, video, security, thermostats, motorized shades, and more. To see how the app will work for your Highland Park, TX home, continue reading below.

Ways to Improve Your Internet Connection

Whether your home is fully equipped with surveillance cameras and whole-home audio or if you’re simply trying to email from your laptop across the house, you need a reliable and reliable network. Too many of us deal with unstable connections, forcing us to restart our routers every few weeks. Slow connection speeds make downloading and streaming lag, and in certain rooms of our house, we may not be able to get a signal at all. Sound familiar? 

Setting up the ideal home network is not easy, but there are several ways you can make it less aggravating. But with the following tips, your home network installation should have your Highland Park, TX home connected in no time. 

Understanding Home Power Management to Protect Your Devices

We don’t usually give much thought to the energy that powers our homes. We flick on the lights, open the refrigerator, and turn on the TV without a thought. But there are several reasons a home energy control system can be vastly beneficial to homeowners. For one, it will make your AV and automation technology last longer, protecting your devices from surges and problems when the power goes out. If you’re planning to ‘go solar,’ you can store solar battery energy to use when power is down or to supplant the grid.

But how? We’ll break down all you need to know about surge protectors, battery backups, and energy control, so your Dallas, TX-area home stays safe and powered with ‘clean energy.’

In Fact, Control4 Is Compatible with Nearly 16,000 Third-Party Electronics! 

The goal of a smart home system is to control and automate all your home technology in one. It isn’t luxury living if you need to toggle between different remotes, apps, and keypads to manage separate systems. A Control4 installation unifies your lighting, security, entertainment, and much more under one smart controller, streamlining your entire property. 

If you already own devices like security cameras, video doorbells, or high-end speakers, you may be wondering if they’re compatible with Control4. Luckily, Control4 integrates with nearly 16,000 third-party devices. We’ll share a snippet of compatible brands below and explain how Control4 installations work to turn your house “smart.”

When DIY Smart Homes Go Wrong

New plug-and-play devices like video doorbells lead many homeowners to think they can build a smart home system themselves. But a high-end automated home may include hundreds of smart devices (including lights and sensors) and require complex programming for custom scenes. If you try to assemble a system without experience, you’ll probably waste hours on a system that doesn’t work.

If all you want is one or two smart devices, then proceed with DIY. But a smart home system that unifies all your technology will require assistance from a professional.

Who Knew Window Shades Could Be So Beneficial?

Have you experienced the magic of motorized shades? 

Controlling multiple window shades at once is handy, especially when it’s done through a single tap of a button. But when you automate your motorized shades to follow a routine—and when you use the right kind of shading materials—you achieve incredible things. 

What kinds of things? When done right, your motorized shades help your home reduce energy consumption and even preserve your furniture, wall coverings, and artwork to last longer.

Learn Why Josh.ai Is A Superior Voice Command Assistant

Home automation makes Fort Worth living much more luxurious. With just a tap of a finger, smart devices throughout the home awaken to meet your needs; motorized shades lower to block out glare on the TV, and lights dim to set the mood for a romantic dinner. The ease of controlling your Texas home goes beyond a homeowner’s fingertips, though, because voice control is here.

The smart speakers found at big-box retailers have inundated the market, making Alexa, Siri, and Google household names. While helpful, the companies are known for sharing your information with third parties and using it for marketing purposes. This leaves most homeowners uncomfortable but feeling stuck – they want the ease of voice control in their homes, and they see the loss of privacy as a requirement. That’s not the case anymore with Josh.ai!

To learn more about voice control and other smart home innovations, join our mailing list, and read on below to understand how the innovative natural language assistant, Josh, elevates voice-assisted automation in new ways while additionally protecting your data and respecting your family’s privacy.
