See How Convenient Life Becomes with Smart Home Control 

Remember the days before smartphones? To travel, we’d consult paper maps or print directions from MapQuest. We made calls on our phones but took pictures with a separate camera. And to listen to music, we’d plug headphones into an iPod or mp3 player. We used a different device for every action, filling an entire bag with what today is consolidated into a single smartphone. 

Today, you can apply the same consolidation to your daily life with a smart home system. Rather than use separate remotes, apps, and wall switches across the house, all of your home’s subsystems can be synced into one easy-to-use controller like Savant. 

Savant is a home automation system that controls lighting, AV, thermostats, security, and more, creating a comfortable and convenient home experience. To see what it would be like to live with Savant in your University Park, TX home, read on to discover the benefits. And to learn more about smart home control, subscribe to our free monthly newsletter here. 

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.

From Morning ‘til Night, Here’s What A Day’s Like with Automated Lighting

Remember the Clapper? With a clap of your hands, a room’s lights would turn on and off like a party trick. The Clapper was a revolutionary (albeit somewhat annoying) new way to control lighting. Since then, smart lighting technology has advanced tremendously. But unless you know someone with a lighting control system, you may be unaware of the convenient and helpful features it provides.

To see how smart lighting control can fit seamlessly into your Dallas, TX lifestyle, read on for our day-in-the-life examples.

Home’s Easier to Manage When Everything’s Connected

Sometimes life can feel splintered—like everything’s disconnected. We try to make time for our work life, home life, hobbies, and exercise. We try to stay in touch with hometown friends, college friends, and family. Social events, errands, bills, to-do lists—it all can make anyone feel overwhelmed! 

We could all use a little simplification in our modern, hectic lives. But you don’t have to go off-grid to achieve simplicity. In fact, we can stay connected and use technology to live more effortlessly. When you own a smart home system like Control4, all your home’s devices and functions are controlled by a single home controller. 

And when you work with a Control4 dealer like Texadia Systems, we’ll design a personalized home system that syncs to your lighting, audio, video, security, and more. Rather than use separate off-the-shelf devices, here’s why it’s beneficial to have a smart home that encompasses it all.

Check out the Benefits of a Smarter, Safer & More Efficient Home

Not long ago, smart homes either marked the pinnacle of home luxury or were a faraway dream. Fast-forward to today, and smart systems are growing exponentially around the world as technology becomes more accessible for the typical homeowner.

Investing in a home automation system not only adds sophistication to your Dallas, TX lifestyle, but it also enhances your home security, helps you save energy, and ultimately makes living easier. Now more than ever, right now is the best time to reap the benefits of a smarter, safer, and more efficient home. Explore three of those life-improving benefits below.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.’

Make Life Simpler (Not More Complicated) with Smart Home Control 

More people than ever are curious about smart home solutions. But if they aren’t careful, they can be led astray by DIY smart gadgets. It seems fun and easy to order a smart thermostat online and then purchase a few smart bulbs and speakers. But it’s less fun when you realize every device has its own app or remote to control it. 

Instead, you want a connected ecosystem that syncs all your solutions into one platform. From one app, remote, or touch panel, you have complete control over your security, entertainment, comfort, and more. 

Learn how smart home control works below, and contact Texadia Systems in Dallas, TX, to start your home upgrade today! 

How Lutron Levels Up Your Home’s Lighting

New wireless smart LED lightbulbs like Philips Hue let users adjust the bulb’s color while toggling on and off over a smartphone app. But a complete lighting control system like Lutron is much more sophisticated than a single smart bulb. Lutron systems let you control every lighting fixture and motorized shade in your house, automating the ambiance automatically through sensors and schedules. 

With a lighting system, you won’t have to take out your app every time you want to use a bulb and change the color. Lutron knows your preferences and will adjust the lights based on your routine, responding to voice commands or pre-programmed scenes. 

How does Lutron work? As a certified Lutron dealer, we’ll share all you need to know about total lighting control below. And to learn more about installing Lutron lighting in your Dallas, TX home, contact Texadia Systems here! We’re always open to new home projects.

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.
