Whether your home is undergoing new construction or a remodel, smart home technology can be incorporated seamlessly.
Perhaps you have been considering recessed lighting. A popular trend among new home builds is the integration of smart recessed soffit lighting, which allows you to change the colors of outdoor lights to correspond with the holiday of the month (green for Christmas, yellow for Easter, etc.). At present, we are installing Lumary Smart Recessed Lighting in two of our new homes. This is a convenient, unique, and intelligent way to incorporate the trendy feature of colored illumination to the outside of your home.
Our team at Golden Rule Builders is currently in the process of installing some smart technology devices from Lutron. The installation of these devices, including dimmer switches and controls, will enable homeowners to expand their smart home features as desired.
If you are contemplating integrating smart home systems into your residence, there are several options worth considering. These enhancements will not only elevate your home’s existing features but may also boost your property’s value. Some of these include:
- Smart dimmers for lights and fans
- Automated exterior lighting that complements your landscaping
- Permanent LED holiday lighting, such as those offered by Lumary in various styles and colors. We have received requests for this feature in homes.
- Electric car chargers in the garage or outdoors
- Smart thermostats for heating and cooling on a schedule for when you are away from home. An excellent feature for vacations!
- Smart garage door openers operated via an app on your phone
- Smart bulbs that can be remotely controlled via apps or scheduled
- Motorized shades that can be operated to open and close without being physically present. We have incorporated this feature in some of our clients’ homes.
- Automatic pergolas that open and close for protection from rain and/or sun
- App-controlled sound systems accessible through an app on your phone or tablet.
Smart home technology has advanced beyond simple alarm systems, enabling control of virtually everything in your home through an app on your phone or iPad! WiFi serves as a crucial part of this communication hub. It is important to ensure you have a robust WiFi connection and provider to ensure the smooth and efficient operation of your Smart Home Technology installation.
