Tips to Make the Most of Your Smart Home, Year-Round 

If you enjoy hosting friends and family throughout the year, smart home automation makes it easier for you. A unified smart system gives you seamless control over lighting, audio, climate, and more, all from one interface. 

From early fall to peak summer, the right technology sets the stage for stress-free, high-end entertaining. Whether you’re already one of our clients in Memorial, TX, or you're curious about home automation, here’s how to make the most of your system with seasonal smart entertaining. 

Seamless Sound for the Modern Home

Your morning coffee tastes better with jazz flowing from the kitchen speakers. The kids' homework gets done faster with their playlists in the study. And weekend dinner parties come alive when the same playlist follows your guests from the patio to the living room. This is what happens when you install a professional whole-home audio system that thinks beyond individual speakers. Unlike portable Bluetooth devices that cut out when you move between rooms, true whole-home audio creates a seamless sound experience that adapts to how you actually live in The Woodlands, TX.

Today’s Illumination is Effortless, Beautiful, and Enchanting

There are smart homes, and then, there are luxury smart homes. One may have some smart lights, a smart speaker, and several smart TVs. It’s a far cry from the smart home that operates from an advanced home automation system, where all devices communicate with the platform and with each other. In these homes, the environment changes with no effort, with lighting, climate, and entertainment adjusting with one touch, voice command, or automated programming. 

The same is true of luxury lighting control. 

From DIY solutions to ultra-customizable luxury systems, each provides a very different level of convenience, beauty, and illumination. The finest lighting control systems incorporate the effortless management of natural and artificial light in a manner that changes to create the perfect setting for each moment. 

And, as we blur the lines between indoor and outdoor living, more people are extending this lighting control system into their outdoor areas, setting the perfect mood for alfresco dinners and weekend pool parties. 

At Relative Home Systems, we partner with Lutron, the brand that set the standard for home lighting control. Here, we’ll explore what that means for our clients in Houston, TX.

The Best in Home Entertainment is Not Reserved for New Builds 

Whether you just returned from an evening with friends and experienced their ultra-premium home theater or have been scrolling through the possibilities online, there comes a time when you realize your home theater could be more. 

Perhaps it was built before Dolby Atmos became the go-to for home theater surround sound. Or maybe your lamp-based projector just isn’t cutting it anymore. 

If this sounds familiar, then a home theater renovation is most likely on your horizon. But where do you begin? With technology advancing at an unprecedented pace, it’s hard to keep up with the latest innovations for your River Oaks, TX, home.

That’s where Relative Home Systems comes in. It’s our job to integrate the most advanced technology that aligns with your intentions, design, and budget. To that end, here are a few of the essentials to consider when upgrading your home theater.
