In part one of this two-part blog series, we went over some of the simple ways you can integrate home automation themes into any major home remodeling process. Many smart home features are perfect for this sort of basic integration, allowing you to kill two birds with one metaphorical stone.
At AVI Systems, we’re proud to offer a number of home automation themes, from home lighting and 4k video options to home security and many others. What are some other quality options you have at your disposal for smart home upgrades as part of your renovation? Here are a few.
Home Theater
For many renovations on the larger side, home theater systems are a perfect fit. Some renovations may require a new room built entirely for this purpose, but most can be integrated into existing areas without too much difficulty. Using a masking mechanism to black out the lights and lessen noise from outside sources is an easy way to ensure you enjoy your best-quality entertainment in any environment – not just ones you’ve created for this specific purpose.
If you want the very highest possible video quality here, 4K sets are the way to go. 4K TVs are quickly becoming standard fare, with many major brands offering affordable choices for all types of budgets. Of course, if you’re not too worried about price and want something truly impressive, high-end models can bump up to even higher resolutions for extremely crisp video images, so your movies will be more realistic than ever before.
Various Smart Switches
There are also numerous forms of smart switch that you might consider placing in various locations throughout your home renovation. For example, modular smart switches can be integrated into nearly any power outlet to transform it into a controllable device. If there’s one spot in particular that you’d like additional control over – perhaps a reading nook or study – this is an excellent option that provides numerous benefits at once.
Simple on/off capabilities aside, these smart switches also allow you to control the electrical load and occupancy of any plugged-in device, as well as check on its power usage and more. Many people go this route not just for the convenience they receive, but also for their ability to monitor electricity usage and potentially save money on their monthly bills.
For those with a keener interest in energy savings and sustainability, advanced low-energy options are excellent choices. These will adjust your lighting and other appliances in an effort to be as efficient as possible, ensuring you run your home renovation on the smallest amount of power necessary.
