Window blinds and draperies are not something that immediately comes to most people's minds when thinking of home automation. But that is starting to change. At BRAVAS Atlanta, we are hearing from more and more customers that motorized blinds or drapery systems are one of the items they enjoy most in their home technology packages, and in many cases adds the most value to their everyday life. Motorized window coverings are no longer just for your Home Theater. They are being used in every room in the house and take home comfort, protection, convenience, and beauty to a whole new level. They may also be more affordable than you think.

Yes, much like your car, the technology in your home needs periodic maintenance. With multiple systems, many of which are integrated to work together, these systems do need maintenance and even an occasional upgrade to retain peak performance. Maybe you've added or upgraded some new services or equipment since the original installation of your system, we can make sure everything is properly integrated to ensure an optimum user experience. Perhaps some of your control or remote operations have become sluggish in performance, we can evaluate whether it is an equipment or compatibility issue. To help with this evaluation, BRAVAS Atlanta is offering a Home Technology Check-Up for just $99.00. Our well trained and experienced technicians will analyze each operating system´s performance, diagnosing any major problems that may be affecting the functionality of your equipment. We will check and provide an accurate diagnosis of the following:

• Audio Systems
• Video Distribution
• Home Theater
• Media Rooms
• Conference Rooms
• Security Systems
• CCTV Cameras
• Control Systems- Crestron, Control4, Savant

BRAVAS Atlanta Home Theater Installation at St. Regis

Some people are under the impression that in order to have a Home Theater experience in their home that they need to have a dedicated space, exclusively for that one function. THAT IS WRONG. With new Home Theater technology advances offered by companies like BRAVAS Atlanta of Atlanta, you do not have to have a separate dedicated space, exclusively for obtaining an optimum viewing experience. The two emerging trends that the BRAVAS Atlanta team is seeing requested by their clients are general multi-purpose play spaces as well as incorporation of home technology in to everyday living spaces like the family room. People are making these choices in order to make the technology blend with their lifestyle and not be forced to adapt their lifestyle to technology. While some people still want the separate room in order to enhance the feeling of being at the movies, others don´t want the hassle involved in walking downstairs to the basement or trudging up the stairs to a bonus room while hauling drinks and snacks. The multi-purpose room concept may involve multiple seating areas, a wet bar or kitchenette, a pool table, and maybe even a game simulator. This room can be a family entertainment room or even the much-overused term "Man Cave". The concept growing faster at this point in time, however, is the trend to moving the Home Theater experience into the Family Room, the nucleus of most family living. There is generally already comfortable seating available and in most homes, the kitchen is adjacent for quick access to those aforementioned drinks and snacks. This is especially true with installations performed by BRAVAS Atlanta in the luxury condominiums at St. Regis Atlanta (pictured above) where lifestyle motivates the decisions of most of the residents. With the simple press of a button on your centralized Home Technology System, which may be on your iPhone or iPad you can drop the lights, lower the shades, lower a screen, power on the projector, and turn your family room into a movie room. Even if your shades are not blackout style, with technology like the Screen Innovations Black Diamond Screen, ambient light is rejected and a great movie experience can be had in a fully lit room. Don´t want to see a screen in your living room or family room? Simple enough, BRAVAS Atlanta can install a motorized screen, so it´s completely hidden when not in use. Other concerns? Give us a call to discuss them and let us put together a plan to put your Home Theater where you want it while addressing your concerns.

As a leading provider of Home Theaters in the greater Atlanta area, the team at BRAVAS Atlanta prides themselves on keeping up with the latest trends. Our clients want the latest and greatest in their home technology and we are here to provide it for them. What's new in a home theater? Lots of things. The lines between a home theater and overall home technology are blurring more every day.  Instead of being a standalone system, the home theater of today is integrated with many elements of smart home technology. Here are some specific items we are seeing 

Recently, the Women´s Club of Sugarloaf Country Club Charities, Inc. hosted its Fifth Annual Leisure Living Tour. In addition to showcasing the outdoor living spaces and indoor terrace levels of five beautiful homes within the community, the event included a Leisure Craft Show at the TPC Sugarloaf Country Club featuring boats, personal watercraft, aquatic equipment, and recreational vehicles from several local dealers and retailers. The homes featured an "All Around The World" theme. Each home was decorated with a festive party theme from one of five different countries and food and drinks were served at each home. BRAVAS Atlanta was proud to participate in this event by exhibiting and providing information to attendees about the home automation and technology which they had recently installed in one of the homes included on the tour. The package that our team installed in the home included -

• Savant Automation System is controllable from iPads and Smartphones which includes system controls, whole house music, lighting control, surveillance cameras, security system, and even a pool interface.
• Throughout the home music sources includes a Request Media Server and approximately 16 zones of audio.
• A Lutron lighting system - with approximately 75 switches to control individual lights and set scene lighting.
• 8 Day/Night cameras with DVR Recorder and internet access for live streaming and recorded views.
• Interface with a security system and the ability to view garage doors and open them remotely for access.
• High Definition TVs including one mounted in the outdoor living space as well as an upgrade of an existing projector to a JVC 3D projector.

This house was an existing home installation/retrofit which previously had only included a few zones of music, with 95% of the equipment being new to the home. The BRAVAS Atlanta team was able to accomplish this installation with a minimum of disruption to the homeowners due to their expertise in installing home automation in existing homes. All proceeds from the event went to benefit four very worthy local charities: Partnership Against Domestic Violence(PADV), Rainbow Village, Inc., Spectrum Autism Support Group, Inc., and Wellspring Living.

As the concept of the "Man Cave" continues to evolve and become an overall gathering space for family and friends, makers of what had traditionally been exclusively golf simulators for home use, are starting to branch out. These suppliers have recognized that by offering multiple sports in their home technology offerings, they can appeal to people with wider interests and perhaps the entire family with a wide array of sports choices.

In-home sports simulators are now available through companies like Visual Sports, which offer simulated hockey, soccer, baseball, basketball, and even rugby in addition to the traditional golf environment that people have come to recognize as the norm.

You can turn any room in your home into an interactive sports experience. Whether you have an existing game room or a new home under construction, the team at BRAVAS Atlanta in Atlanta can custom design a sports simulator to fit your space. Whether you're installing in a basement, in a garage, on the carpet, or on hardwood, we will ensure that your simulator avoids any room obstructions, protects your finishes and matches your interior.

One system puts you on the green, on the court, on the mound, and even on the ice. Come rain or shine, you can play golf, hockey, soccer, basketball, baseball, and football. One of our in-home systems puts all six sports and more than 20 unique game-play modes right at your fingertips.

Custom designed to uniquely fit into your home, the multi-media screen can also be used to watch larger-than-life movies, sporting events and to make video games more life-like than ever before! We offer completely integrated home entertainment systems that can become the only simulation, gaming, and entertainment system you and your family will ever need.

One of the latest trends in Home Technology is the movement away from interfaces that are unique to a specific product line and require a learning curve for operation. The newest way to control technology in your home is to integrate the operation of everything from security systems to lighting as well as heating and cooling systems plus much more, utilizing technology most people are very comfortable with, their iPhone or iPad. This integration of technology, allows the user to utilize an interface that they are accustomed to using, and thus the process of controlling these items is an intuitive process, versus a new learning experience. Think of it as an "app" for your home. Just a few of the items that BRAVAS Atlanta of Atlanta can set up for you to do from the convenience of your iPhone or iPad, even from remote locations -

• Lock and unlock doors for visitors or service personnel.
• Adjust heating and/or cooling settings in various zoned portions of the home.
• Turning on and off lighting, including specific lights or setting scenes involving multiple lighting fixtures.
• View activity within your home via video cameras.
• Open and close window coverings.
• Control your television, audio, or home theater system.
