Everyone Wants to Add Convenience to Daily Living
The concept of a smart home has been around for over half a century. Before the turn of the century, there were many iterations and predictions about the “home of the future” in TV shows like The Jetsons and movies like Disney’s The Smart House. But now that smart homes have become commonplace, we can say that not every pop culture prediction was correct.
Now, smart home control gives homeowners in New York and beyond a simple solution to a sophisticated series of connected devices. One tap, and your home will respond! Keep reading below to see what a day in the life looks like in a smart home.

Good Morning
As you roll over in bed and open your eyes, you see a ray of sunlight peeking through the slowly rising roller shades. Blackout fabrics prevented ambient light from entering the bedroom while you slept, but now that it’s a new day, the shades are programmed to rise automatically at a predesignated time.
There’s no need to “tumble out of bed and stumble to the kitchen,” ala Dolly Parton’s lyrics, thanks to your interior lighting gradually brightening the pathway from the bedroom to the bathroom and the kitchen. As you pour yourself a cup of ambition, you listen to the softly playing music or preferred news station over your whole-home audio system’s in-ceiling speakers. Good morning! You’re ready to face the day ahead!
Avoid the Midday Slump
Since you’re a hybrid remote employee, you spend the day working in your home office. Every videoconference call looks great, and there’s no fear of becoming disconnected mid-meeting because you have an expertly-installed enterprise-grade home network. As you begin feeling groggy after lunch, your tunable white lighting automatically shifts to a bright, blue-toned hue to help energize you. Grab a snack, and you’re ready to knock out your big sales presentation!
Button Up for the Evening
After your kids and partner come home and enjoy dinner, everyone gathers in the media room to watch a bit of TV. Your smart remote controls the room’s lighting, the shades, and the AV system in mere seconds. There’s no need to lose your spot on the cozy sofa unless you need to grab a snack or drink refill. Once the show is over, everyone heads to their bedrooms for a restful night’s sleep.
As you get comfortable in bed, you realize you forgot to arm your alarm system. Instead of trudging downstairs, pull out your smartphone and tap a button to secure your home! With another swipe of your finger, you can turn off your home’s interior lighting, ensure your outdoor lighting is on, and check in on surveillance camera footage because you thought you heard a noise outside. As it turns out, it was only a raccoon scampering across the yard. Now that the home is buttoned up for the evening, you can enjoy a night filled with restorative rest and sweet dreams.
All of this and more are possible with smart home control and automation. If you want to bring these conveniences to your property in the New York, NY, area, connect with our team here to get started!
