Enjoy Comfort & Convenience with a Fully Integrated Home Automation System 

So, you’re thinking about making your house a “smart home.” Maybe you’re interested in saving energy or the convenience automation provides. If you search the internet for smart home solutions, you’ll often come across DIY devices like Wi-Fi connected thermostats, voice speakers, and smart plugs that promise to make your house smart. 

While these devices can be useful in a small scale, they’re not the most effective way to build a fully automated home. Instead, professional home automation systems like Control4 can seamlessly control all of your home’s systems, even across multiple properties, from lighting to security to the home theater. 

Below, we’ll explain the difference between DIY smart devices and an integrated home automation system so you can make the best decision for your University Park, TX home.

The Drawbacks of DIY 

Many electronics, like voice activated speakers and Wi-Fi-connected lights, are often advertised as the key to building a “smart home.” But it’s not truly home automation if you can’t sync all of your devices to one system. Many smart plugs and DIY hubs aren’t compatible with all your home’s devices and voice assistants, and the reliance on Wi-Fi can cause slow responses and congested networks. 

When you connect a group of devices to each other and the Wi-Fi, you can’t use complex commands like you can achieve with a real smart home system, like Control4. Control4’s When>>Then feature prompts technology to react to each other like dominos. For instance, when the garage door opens, indoor lights will turn on, set to your preferred brightness level and color temperature, and the thermostat can instantly set to a comfortable setting. And you can rely on Control4 to work every time, unlike many DIY solutions. 

A Fully Integrated Smart Home 

By “fully integrated,” we’re referring to the ability to merge all of your devices into one system controller. From there, you can access the smart home system in many ways, not just through your smartphone app. Use a touchscreen on the wall, voice assistant, stylish wall keypads, switches, or even a handheld remote—whatever feels most convenient at the moment. 

Our home automation installations are often a mix of wired and wireless solutions. By hardwiring your network, you don’t have to worry about the whims of Wi-Fi. You’ll always be connected. 

In Conclusion 

If you’re looking for a small and simple smart solution in your home, like making sure devices power off to save energy, DIY solutions may be sufficient. But if you want to experience the luxury and convenience of a real smart home, trust an installation by a professional integrator.
