Do you think of smart home automation as a convenience or a luxury? It may be both of those things, but did you know it can keep you safer? When you start putting together all the smart functions of your home under one comprehensive smart home system - like Control4 - you can add layers of protection to your daily life.

Smart home technology can be piecemeal or fully integrated. It’s possible to have smart lighting control. Or smart locks. Or smart thermostats for intelligent control of your HVAC system. But when you connect these functions intelligently, you get more than the sum of the parts.

As your authorized Naples Control4 dealer, AVL Pro can put together a smart home system that not only adds convenience and luxury to your Florida lifestyle, but also brings the peace of mind of safety through more intelligent security. Read on for three ways a Control4 system will make you and your property safer.

When AVLPRO looks at a smart home automation project, we take a holistic approach. We consider what the client wants to achieve with automation now, as well as the types of things they might want to do in the future.

To us, home automation is not a collection of smart devices with apps for remote control; it is a cohesive, orchestrated approach to simplifying a variety of functions in your home in a way that fits your lifestyle. Part of the plan is choosing the right technology platform, and another part is to integrate the infrastructure necessary to operate the technology in your property.

We live in Florida for the sun and mild climate year round—It’s called the Sunshine State for a reason. All that sun is good for soaking up vitamin D and keeping us healthy, but like anything else, too much of a good thing is not always good for us.

Just as too much sun exposure is harmful to our skin and potentially causes other issues, too much sun in the interior of your home also has negative consequences. UV rays can damage furniture finishes and fade rugs and window treatments. Too much heat buildup can cause your air conditioning to work overtime and drive up energy bills.

We can’t control the sun in Bonita Springs, but AVL Pro does have a solution to protect your home’s interior: installing motorized shading. Read on to learn more about what this smart solution can do.

It’s hard to escape home automation technology. The popularity of voice assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant are bringing smart home features to the forefront and into popular culture. Home automation technology inexorably advances, seemingly every month, with a new product announcement. It seems that almost no function in the home is immune from some smart capability - from garage doors, pools, and HVAC to door locks.

Smart home technology is readily available to the consumer. Smart cameras, lights, motorized shades, thermostats, sensors, speakers, refrigerators, and much more, are available from an ever-increasing roster of vendors. The truth is, some devices work well together, while other devices don't.

A truly smart home is a seamless experience. What do we mean by that? It means that various systems in your home communicate well together, like a well-trained and conducted orchestra. Sometimes all those devices aren't from the same manufacturer, but they can still be orchestrated. It means that your home will work for you and your lifestyle, as opposed to you adapting to new technology.

If you want a seamless experience - and the pure luxury of home automation - in your home, you will want something more than a collection of smart devices. As an experienced systems integration company right here in Naples, we specialize in making home automation fit you.
