The Makings of an Intelligent Home
While the terms “whole-house automation” and “smart home control” are often used interchangeably, their meaning and the experience behind them are significantly different. Smart home control defines managing your home with the touch of a button or a voice command. Tap a keypad or remote to lower the shades in the living room, turn on the landscape lights, and heat the spa. Press another to adjust the temperature or tune into your favorite playlist.
Whole-house automation offers a much more intuitive experience. It defines a home that automatically performs everyday tasks and sets in motion the technology that creates the ideal environment for daily life. It works automatically with no effort on your part. Here, we’ll explore this remarkable technology and the changes it’s making in people’s lives in Memphis, TN.

Managed By Your Location
Through geolocation and sensors, your smart home can track your location, sensing when you pull into the driveway at night. In response, it turns on the landscape lights, unlocks the door, adjusts the thermostat, and streams your ‘Just Relax’ playlist through the in-ceiling speakers.
When you leave a room, the lights turn off. When you retire, your smart home goes to sleep with you.
Changing Based on the Time of Day
An automated smart home prepares itself in advance. Before you wake, it adjusts the climate, illuminates certain lights, starts the coffee maker, and tunes into the morning news on the kitchen TV.
You wake to motorized shades rising, letting in the early morning sun, and head to a kitchen ready for your arrival.
From when you wake until you retire, your home sets in motion a series of events. These actions allow you to effortlessly move throughout your day without having to think about adjusting lights, shades, AV equipment, or thermostat settings.
Transforms In Response to Environmental Changes
Sensors play a significant role in maintaining the ideal environment as changes occur within your home. When direct sunlight hits windows, shades lower to protect the interior from harmful UV rays. When natural light diminishes, artificial light brightens, ensuring the ideal illumination.
Outside, smart motion sensors can distinguish between people, animals, and rustling leaves. When it’s a suspicious person, you’ll receive an alert and a surveillance video clip, enabling you to take the appropriate action.
These sensors can also detect when your pipes are freezing or the basement is flooding and, in response, turn off the main water valve. A smart home not only offers extreme convenience and comfort but also provides an added layer of smart security and safety.
