As the market floods with more and more smart home technologies, finding the right products for your home can get very confusing, very quickly. The “big sales” at the big box stores are enticing. You go buy a bunch of stuff the salesperson tells you will work great. But you don’t have any idea what to do with it all. After a few weekends of trying to install it all, you find the different products don’t even talk to one another, so you end up with different apps to do different things. Sound familiar?
When it comes to home automation, most people need a better understanding of their options before making their choices. Many people also don’t really have the time to install, integrate and get everything all set up. Lastly (they don’t tell you this at the store), the connectivity and integration of your smart home devices is only as good as the platform that supports them.
Fortunately, companies like Downeast Audio Video can help you choose a smart home automation system that best fits your needs. Rather than simply selling you a bunch of random products, professional installers help you understand how the technology works, how products integrate together with what you already may have, and share their expert knowledge with you so you can make an informed decision.
Every home and its occupants are unique, and we understand this. When you choose to work with a professional company, you’ll get a smart home system that is tailored to your specific needs. Maybe you just want to control your lights and thermostat because you are away a lot, or maybe you want to set the mood with lighting scenes and shades, or save energy with a whole house system – your system is designed just for you.
Our home automation projects start with a detailed consultation so we can gauge all your needs. This gives us a clear picture of your preferences, allowing us to discuss specific product choices and their benefits to you. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all systems. From the control options to personalized programming, expect everything to revolve around your choices.
DIY home automation installation is popular these days, but buying the right products and implementing a system yourself can leave you frustrated. The reliability and performance of your system are key components of your satisfaction. Working with a professional company allows you to take advantage of their expert insights, knowledge, and experience with both products and how others have experienced and used them. Experts keep themselves up-to-date on the latest technology and how it works so their clients can benefit from the best options in home automation.
Retail products at discount stores may be cheaper, but you know the saying about getting what you pay for. Professionals sure do, that is why they carry high-quality products that have been tested for reliability, security and integration. Better products usually have better apps, more colors and styles to choose from, and install more seamlessly into your home environment.
Home automation is all about streamlining. So, shouldn’t all your smart home devices operate under one umbrella? When you work with a professional home automation company, all your new and existing technologies are connected to one central hub (when possible). This will allow you to operate your home from anywhere with a press of a button or voice command. No more operating individual features separately in different apps and programs. An intuitive control interface will allow you to run every aspect of your home from lighting and shading to climate control to your sound system.
Professional installers like Downeast Audio Video are people you can trust that stand behind their equipment, products and installation. You can be confident that your system will work when you need it. High-quality products and expert installation minimize the risk of failures, ensuring your system is reliable and effective.
