Smart Homes Should Enhance Your Lifestyle

Surely you hear about smart this and smart that on a weekly basis. Every new refrigerator seems to need an internet connection to enable smart features, and your thermostat, security camera, lights, speakers, and other devices are now all “smart.” 

So what does that mean? Is it about giving you an app to control that device or appliance remotely? Well, that is part of it. How about controlling it by voice commands? Yes, that’s part of it, too. How about turning things on and off by a schedule? In many cases, that too! So if you can do all that with smart devices, why would you need a smart home system in your Salt Lake City home? That’s what we’re covering today for Utah homeowners. Please keep reading below!

And the Performance of Your Teams Too

Have you ever fallen asleep during a presentation? It might be easy to do in a darkened room watching a never-ending string of Powerpoint or Prezi slides. Or perhaps your mind wandered because the slides were hard to see. In both cases, it may have been the lighting that kept you from focusing. 

Many conference room AV systems employ flat panel TVs or projectors for displays. Projectors are highly affected by ambient light, and LED displays are less so. But both benefit from the right lighting and, importantly, the controllability of light in the room. Let’s get into more detail below on how lighting can affect your AV and your staff in your Salt Lake City, UT, meeting spaces.

Attuned to You

Your home is more than a place to protect you from the elements or provide privacy. In addition, its form, function, and flow are representations of your personality and perspective. Your lighting should meet all your needs, whether clear white for cooking or dramatic splashes of color that excite the senses and quiet a racing mind.  

The remarkably influential and world-renowned designer and author Benjamin Noriega-Ortiz concurs, stating in an Elle Decor interview that “Light is the magical ingredient that makes or breaks a space; it’s one of the most important elements in all my interiors.” A sophisticated system gives you the power to shape your environment, allowing you to play out your moods at the swipe of an interface or with your voice.
