Discover the Difference Between Smart Home Integration and Smart Devices

Today, almost half of all homes in the U.S. have at least one smart device. From speakers to appliances and lighting, connected devices are becoming mainstream. For every device, you pull up an app and control it from anywhere. And, as you add more devices, you add more apps. Soon, the promise of ease and the newness of the technology wears off, and you find yourself getting up from the couch to dim the lights before the movie begins.

These devices are far different from smart home integration. As one of the nation's largest smart home integration firms, Audio Command Systems brings these separate and disjointed devices together. Your entire home in The Hamptons, NY, becomes intelligent, managed with high-resolution touchscreens, elegant keypads, and your voice.

Let's explore how these systems transform homes and those living in them.

Elegant, Easy to Use, and Enjoyable

Founded over 40 years ago, ACS is a pioneer in smart home automation. They've watched the incredible advancements and the new "smart" devices that enter the market almost daily. Today, their goal remains the same as the day they entered the field: creating a system that's elegant, easy to use, and enjoyable.

ACS found the key to fulfilling their mission is customization and automation. Knowing your preferences and lifestyle, they create a smart home that automatically performs your daily routines, sets the stage for entertaining or video conferencing, and puts itself to sleep when you retire. 

No more apps. No more separate devices. In their place is a home that responds to your desires and maintains the ideal environment for your many activities.

Automated Living

Think about your daily activities. In most instances, you'll find a pattern, certain activities almost ritualistically performed with little effort or awareness on your part. You may wake up and open the shades, turn on certain lights, adjust the thermostat, and head to the kitchen for coffee or tea. You turn on the news or your morning playlist and open the shades in the living room. And on it goes throughout the day, performing tasks based on the time or conditions. 

A smart home created by ACS does these tasks for you. Whether programmed by the time of day, sunrise or sunset, your location, or your home's environment, your smart home sets the stage, giving you time to ease into the morning and the rest of your day. 

A Sequence of Events

A personalized smart home programmed by ACS also responds to your home's environment. When the temperature lowers, the shades on your south-facing windows rise to let in the sun's warmth, and the lights dim to maintain the ideal illumination. 

When you leave for the day, your home automatically lowers the shades, turns off the lights, lowers the temperature, and locks the doors.

As you can imagine, this level of smart home integration requires extensive experience to ensure your home responds precisely how you want it to with no effort on your part. This level of customization is one of the reasons ACS is now found across the country, in New York City, Florida, and California.
