Why Home Automation Experts Work with Designers & Builders

Creating Lifestyle Homes with Smart Lighting, Entertainment, Security & More 

If homebuyers want to include home automation in their new home build, they should loop in a smart technology integrator. When a smart home expert is involved early in the designing process, they’ll work with the interior designer or home builder to bring the smart home to life. 

Just like a home builder works with electricians, plumbers, and other contractors, a home automation professional needs to be involved in AV, lighting, security, and other smart technologies. Here’s why a smart technology expert should be included in all luxury home-build projects and what you can expect from their service.

Laying the Groundwork for Home Automation 

Suppose you’re building a large house and would like smart thermostats, lighting control, motorized shades, security cameras, and multi-room AV across the property. In that case, you’d want it to work perfectly every time you need it. Wireless smart devices aren’t sophisticated enough for large-scale automation, and you don’t want to rely on fickle Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to run your system. When you send a command, a smart home should just work every time. 

And for a smart home system to “just work,” you need a wired network that connects all devices to one centralized controller. A smart home integrator can design and implement the necessary data wiring across the house, seamlessly hiding cables behind walls while they’re still unfinished. 

Sourcing & Installing Hardware 

From home theater audio to the finest smart lights, a home automation company will handle all technology aspects of the new house. The integrator collaborates with the designer, discussing how certain finishes can complement the walls, ceilings, floors, and furniture. 

For example, can we use smart lighting to accentuate artwork that will hang in the living room? Can we blend in-wall speakers into the wood-paneled walls? A smart home company knows the best manufacturers for every type of home technology and will ensure it all fits seamlessly into the house. 

Programming Custom Automations 

How will the homeowner use the smart home system? This is where the fun begins. The integration company works with the homeowner to program customized controls and automations that suit their lifestyle. 

Imagine window shades rising automatically in the morning and lowering independently at night, while smart lights gradually change their brightness and color temperature throughout the day. We’ll program wall keypads with customizable buttons that control everything from the audio system to the appearance of smart LED lights. 

The homeowner can tap “Morning” or “Dinner” on the wall, and the atmosphere will adjust accordingly. Then they can use their smartphone app or voice assistant to control entertainment, lighting, and more in any room of the house, even using the same system for multiple properties.

Luxury living becomes a reality when homes are built with a home automation integrator. If you’re a homeowner, designer, or home builder interested in the smart home experience, contact Texadia Systems to learn about our services. We look forward to working with you!
