Creating the Perfect Atmosphere

The holidays can be tough enough, even before you begin the hassle of decorating your home. Whether you have kids and want to make the special days as memorable as possible, or you simply love to get in the spirit with the right décor, you can end up spending a lot of time creating the perfect holiday atmosphere.

That is, unless you invest in smart home automation. A smart system allows you to transform the look and feel of a single room, multiple rooms or your entire home with a few buttons on your control device. Need to get ready for a Halloween party? Adjust the brightness and color of your integrated LED lights to create the right look. Select a spooky playlist to filter through your whole home audio system. You can even greet guests via a video doorbell, so you don’t have to take your eye off of the goings-on to let newcomers in. Plus, you can save it all under a programmable and customizable button, so you can return to these settings again at will.

Simplifying Preparations

Many homeowners love the idea of preparing big meals for their entire family during the holidays – especially at Thanksgiving. But spending all day cooking can leave little energy for other aspects of preparing a perfect meal – like setting the mood in the dining room or gathering everyone around the table at dinnertime. 

But you can do it all easily with smart home automation. Prepare the dining room for an intimate evening with your closest relatives by adjusting the lights and lowering the shades remotely with your smartphone or tablet. You can do it all without leaving the kitchen.

Speaking of which, the kitchen can get pretty hectic and hot with all of the cooking going on. Keep yourself calm by choosing a soothing playlist on your whole home audio system and stay cool by adjusting the thermostat via your touch panel device.

Once everything is ready, gather the family via an HD intercom. You won’t have to search around the house or shout up the stairs to get their attention – simply let them know it’s time to eat and wait for them to arrive!
