A recent study by IHS Technology determined that by the year 2019, there will be an average of five connected devices in homes throughout the world. The trend has helped push the growth of the connected home, with the smart home automation market expected to be worth over $50 billion by 2020. People have become accustomed to full control at a moment’s notice and their home is no exception. 

Want to join the movement? With our new office in Austin, Texas, Relative Home Systems can work with you directly to craft a solution that will provide you with full control of lights, entertainment, security and more. Here are some questions you should take into account when thinking of the smart home solution that best fits your needs:

What do you want to control?

Though a smart home automation solution implies full control of your home, you can always choose the systems you want to include. Many people, for example, begin with whole home audio/video or smart security and eventually expand their systems to include lighting, shading, and temperature. Relative Home Systems designs a solution that lets you control what you want while remaining scalable---meaning you can easily add other subsystems when you decide to do so.

Though technology has changed the way many companies do business, boardrooms have only grown in importance in the modern office. Many employees work from home and even have independent hours, but it is still pivotal for everyone to come together for group projects or company-wide decisions. Between collaborating with employees and videoconferencing with clients, a boardroom control system offers the best way to maximize the efficiency of your Austin, Texas office.  

The seasoned programmers at Relative Home Systems can boost the efficiency of your space with Crestron’s AV Framework office control system, which helps you monitor what is going on in all your conference rooms and gives you control of your audio video, lights and shades from your smartphone, tablet or touchpad. Read on to find out why a Crestron system is the best way to upgrade your boardroom.

Prepare Presentations Seamlessly

Prepare a powerful sales pitch with Crestron’s DM 3.0 Digital AV presentation and control system. With a built-in 4K scaler you can use any resolution source effectively on your display. To share presentations on the screen, employees can connect their laptop to the room’s system or use AirMedia for wireless presentations.  

The system will know what screen you’re closest to and give you display options at the press of a button so you can get your content playing quickly. With centralized control of lights, temperature, shades and audio/video, you can also prepare the room with the press of a button. Select your “Presentation” setting and the shades close, lights dim and your screen or television switches to display mode.
