Experience Better Connection and More Control with a Pro System

Smart home technology has taken the world by storm. Homeowners can purchase everything from smart TVs to thermostats designed to make home life easier. However, a smart home should be more than just a collection of smart devices. Too many separate devices, apps, and controllers can actually make controlling your home harder. 

Some products, like Amazon Alexa, claim to be the DIY smart home solution, meaning you don’t need professional assistance to use Alexa to integrate your tech. This may sound like a good idea, but you’ll soon learn it’s not that simple. For an easier-to-manage and more luxurious smart home in Belleair, FL, you should integrate all your devices into a complete home automation system. Keep reading to see why you should work with a smart home company to create a true smart home.

Integration

Home automation aims to take different smart devices and integrate them together to create a robust automation platform. You may think this is relatively easy to set up, but you’ll likely have to set it up over and over again. This is because wireless connections tend to be faulty and get disrupted easily. In addition, it’s not really a robust system but a piecemeal approach to smart home automation, which consists of a patchwork of devices. 

That’s why professionals use home automation platforms like Control4 or Savant. These systems physically wire to many of your smart devices. And with an updated home network, the devices that are wirelessly connected perform seamlessly. Most importantly, a home automation company can ensure every technology works perfectly with your new system - no glitches or interruptions.

Control

Most DIY smart homes are powered by a voice assistant like Alexa or Google. While controlling your home through voice commands may be easy sometimes, most voice assistants weren’t designed for seamless home control. And unfortunately, voice assistants are just like the apps you download from the app store or Google Play; they use (translation: steal) your data to provide to third-parties. 

However, Josh.ai is a voice assistant that is built specifically for smart homes. It never uses your data to sell to third parties. Everything is completely private. Josh works seamlessly with smart home systems like Control4, which lets you control your devices via a wall panel, tablet, smartphone, and your voice. Tune your lights, lock your doors, play music, and more. Plus, you’ll be able to control your home remotely with a smartphone!
