Outdoor entertaining is an integral part of summers in the South. Whether you have out of town guests staying with you that you want to impress with your spectacular grilling skills or are inviting family and friends to your annual 4th of July party, your outdoor living area needs to be an inviting setting. Well, when you are spending your time preparing and cooking the meal, how can you worry about other factors like fans, lighting, music, water features, etc. The answer is simple, utilize home automation so that you can control every feature from your Smartphone or iPad. Other than the use of your pool, the food is the star of your summer gatherings, and as such, it should get your undivided attention.

By utilizing home automation, you can program every factor before the party even begins. For example, you have a specific time that you want to eat dinner, but if you are caught up in other things and forget to turn on the grill until you are ready to cook, then you have set yourself back a half-hour at least. To prevent such a dilemma, use your smartphone to set a time for the grill to automatically turn on, and then it will be preheated and ready for you to cook whenever you are. You can also preset different light settings as well as the specific times for them to change. So, as the sun sets and it becomes darker, your lights can automatically get brighter and brighter. As far as keeping a comfortable temperature, we know that things tend to naturally cool off once the sun goes down. So, you can adjust the speed of the ceiling fans conveniently from your smartphone.

Basically, with home automation, we have eliminated the hassle of trying to find which switch controls what and replaced it with your smartphone controlling everything. Excusing yourself to turn off the fountain or lower the volume of the music is a thing of the past. Don't miss a moment of your summer parties because you have to manage the setting, call BRAVAS Atlanta at 770-844-5800 for your home automation system.
