Smart Home Technology You’ll Love

Smart home technology is just a fancy way to control your toaster, right? Not precisely -- it’s a group of complicated devices that connect and are controlled with a single, intuitive interface. You can set controls to work automatically or pair multiple functions under an individual button. But it's not just more convenient and straightforward. It can improve your daily lifestyle.

How will smart home automation influence your Jacksonville, FL, routine? Check out the technologies you didn't know about but will help you feel better all day.

Tunable White Lighting

Tunable lighting is among the most exciting developments available right now. More than lighting control, tunable automatically adjusts your lights' intensity to reflect your natural circadian rhythm. So, you'll respond to the artificial lights the way you'd react to the sun -- more active in the afternoon; restful in the evening.

Tunable lighting paired with a smart system from a significant manufacturer means more automatic adjustments. Your system will adjust the color temperature from a warm yellow glow in the morning to a bright, bluish light in the afternoon and then back again toward sunset. And don't worry about your decor; tunable white lighting remains white the whole time and changes so gradually it's virtually invisible.

Whole-Home Audio

Have you considered whole-home audio solutions, and do you know the way they affect your living spaces? It’s more than a fun way to listen to your favorite tunes in every room. You can create playlists for each room to entertain your friends and family. Plus, it can help enhance your everyday life.

According to a recent study, families who played music talked to each other more, felt less stressed, and enjoyed more meals together—all that from just playing a few songs in the background. Music is more important than you realize, and a whole-home audio system helps you enjoy it everywhere.

Automated Shading

Sunlight is an essential part of your life. Studies show that regular exposure to it can enhance your mood, relieve stress, improve sleep, and deliver Vitamin D. But it may also harm you if you get too much. Smart motorized shades help regulate your sunlight exposure, so your space will look beautiful, you'll feel better, and you'll receive less bad stuff.

As part of a smart home, integrated shades work with your lights and thermostat to enhance your comfort throughout the day. When it’s too warm due to sunlight, your shades will lower, and your thermostat will adjust. Using too much energy? Your thermostat will set to a higher temperature, and your shades will adjust to regulate it.
