We know home automation inside and out

If your car or motorcycle broke down tomorrow and you had no training or experience, do you think you could get it running again? For most people, the answer is no. There’s no shame in that; automotive and motorcycle repair is more complex than it used to be, and it’s not something most people are familiar with.

The same idea applies when it comes to home automation. The devices we bring into our home nowadays are much more powerful, but they’re also more difficult to install correctly. Smart design principles also make a big difference. If you know how these systems work, you know how to design them in such a way that they enhance your interior aesthetic, rather than detract from it.

These are all skills we possess at Soundworks, and this blog will show you why you should hire a smart home designer to handle your project in Rye and surrounding areas of New York.

Plus, How to Streamline Your Technology Under the Savant Platform

As you will learn soon, homeowners notice a big difference between a house with some Internet of Things (IoT) devices in it and a completely automated, streamlined home. We understand how those two concepts might seem synonymous at first. When someone walks into a residence and notices anything tech-forward, they might assume it’s a “smart home.”

Not so fast: Total home automation requires a higher level of connectivity, compatible devices and a central control system to streamline all these IoT tools. There’s nothing wrong with starting small and trying a DIY smart lock or some fun lighting controls, for example. Still, if you want to build a fully integrated, future-proof smart home, you’ll need professional integration and complete automation to make it happen. Keep reading for signs that your Greenwich, CT, home doesn’t live up to the “smart home’ moniker and what you can do to change that.

In the modern digital landscape, a subpar network will impact the performance of Internet-enabled devices in your home

From phones and tablets to gaming consoles and computers, there are more Internet-enabled devices in our homes than ever before. On the one hand, this is a good thing, as it means there are exciting new ways to use our devices and improve our lifestyle. On the other hand, more devices means more strain on your home network, which may hamper the performance of devices that use your network.

It’s time to go beyond the store-bought modem and router. A home wireless network installation from a company like Soundworks will give you the speeds and performance you want. Here are three reasons for homeowners in Armonk and other areas of New York to invest in a network upgrade.

A hidden home theater offers a less cluttered aesthetic and a cleaner design for your New York City home

While your home theater delivers impressive visuals and sound, its components most likely weren’t made with your home’s interior design in mind. We’re a long way from the era of massive tube TVs, and high-end speakers are made with obvious attention to detail, but they still dominate a room when you’re not actively using them.

You don’t have to choose between a sophisticated interior design and a high-performance home theater. With the right equipment and the right integrator, it’s easy to hide your TV, speakers and other components and help them blend in with the rest of the room’s decor. Here’s how you can build a hidden home theater in your New York City home.
