Homewood homeowners value comfort, warmth, and style — and your technology should match the same feeling. Smart home automation brings convenience, elegance, and simplicity to everyday living, whether you’re renovating a historic Hollywood home or building a modern residence in Edgewood or Mayfair.
Innovative Sight & Sound designs high-end smart home systems that enhance your lifestyle while blending naturally into your home’s architecture.
A true smart home isn’t a collection of gadgets — it’s a coordinated system that enhances daily living.
Smart home automation is the use of a centralized technology to control and manage various household systems and devices.
With smart home automation for your Homewood home, you can automate lights to turn on when you enter a room, adjust the thermostat from your phone, monitor security cameras remotely, and control entertainment systems with voice commands—all from anywhere.
Imagine adjusting the lights, and the climate, and even browsing your personal music library all from one simple-to-use remote. We have the products to enable control of virtually anything in your home, tied to a system that makes living and interacting with them easily for the whole family.
Innovative believes Control4 offers the best home automation systems on the market in terms of quality and reliability.
The idea behind home automation is to make your life easier. See yourself arriving home, arms full of groceries and with the press of a button on your key chain you disarm the alarm, turn on the lights, and even start your favorite TV show.
Consolidate devices from across the entire house into a single screen, so you can instantly view the status of your security system, smart door locks, shades that are open, or lights throughout the home—and take immediate control.
Home automation integrates all the independent systems in your house allowing for more efficient use of all the systems. And the best part is, we handle everything. There’s no longer a need to travel from room to room switching off individual lights and televisions.
Control4 Keypads feature customizable buttons that allow you to control more than just the lights—including music, movies, locks, thermostats, and even your garage door—with a simple press. Turn on or off multiple rooms, or your entire house, with one tap as you’re headed off to work or turning in for the night.
A well-designed and implemented smart home system is nothing short of a digital concierge putting you in total control of nearly every aspect of your home.
All of this technology comes together through Control4 automation, giving you intuitive control from touchscreens, remotes, or mobile apps. Scenes like “Goodnight” or “Away” simplify daily routines with a single button.
A true Smart Home is programmed to automatically and intuitively sync with your lifestyle.
For example, if your home faces the sun rise, a smart home will know to lower the motorized shades of the east facing windows and make sure the thermostat has the temperature at the desired level. If you leave in the evening, a simple button press on a keypad will lock the doors, arm the security system, turn on exterior lights, and make sure garage doors are closed.
Automation is about aligning the technology systems of your home to your lifestyle.
