More and more families desire that homes integrate indoor and outdoor living spaces. Homeowners are creating a space where living areas flow seamlessly into outdoor areas like a terrace, pool deck or garden. A beautiful home by itself is not enough; it’s also about a functional layout and usable areas including the outdoors. The experts at Relative Home Systems can help you transform your backyard into an entertainment space as well as help you highlight the landscaping throughout your property.

Defying the Elements

Insecticides, acid rain, weed whackers and bugs take a toll on the typical landscape lighting systems.  Our new partnership with Coastal Source allows us to bring you “a solution that is defying the elements.” Coastal Source landscape lighting products are built with integrity and are engineered by experts with more than 50 years of hands-on industry experience. If you live on the coast, salt spray may be the most damaging weather element of all. But rest assured a lighting system from Coastal Source can stand the test of time no matter where you live or the climate. Plus Coastal Source offers a lifetime warranty on its goods against defects in material and functionality when the complete landscape lighting system is professionally installed and maintained by a certified dealer.

Landscape lighting illuminates the night

Outdoor lighting systems enhance your home’s aesthetics and highlight key landscape and architectural features. There are a variety of product options to meet all your lighting needs.

There are a few aspects of premium sound quality such as crisp, clean, bass and smooth, clear high-frequency notes that remain consistent among high-quality sound systems. Yet for the most part, the terms “high-end audio” or “high performance audio” mean many different things to many different people.

In this blog Relative Home Systems discusses the various high-end audio systems available to homeowners in the Houston and Woodlands, Texas areas.

2–Channel Listening Room

Discerning audiophiles often dedicate a space in their home to enjoy music as intended by the artist. Many fans of music typically find musical instruments coming from behind the listener as unnatural and inconsistent to a true to life experience. Thus, a listening room typically consists of a left and right speaker situated in the front of the room, facing the listener.

Whether you’re in the mood for rock, jazz, or classical, you will be able to hear the difference in a high-fidelity sound system engineered for a 2 dimensional listening experience. Beyond that, speaker preference can be highly individual depending on which sound qualities you would like your sound system to highlight. Our high fidelity-sound systems make sure that when your favorite tune gets going, all the various instruments can be heard.

Multi-Purpose Media Room

Looking to enhance your lifestyle? Do you feel as though your life looks like a coffee table lined with remotes?

Integrated

Each of the electronic systems (heating/air conditioning, lighting, security, music) in your home can all be connected and managed by one central processor. With partners like Savant and Control4, Relative Home Systems, can accommodate all your automation needs. A fully programmed custom home automation system can supply information about the operational status of each device. Such an integrated system allows for meaningful reductions in energy use and utility costs.

Personalized

For over 13 years, Relative Home Systems has worked with premium names in home automation like Crestron for the best in luxury technology control. Recently Crestron introduced a game-changing update which puts the power of programming in the hands of the homeowner for a revolutionary, premium control experience. 

The new Crestron app, Pyng™ provides a quick, easy solution for setting up and controlling lighting, shades, thermostats, door locks, and security systems in a home. The new home automation app enables complete setup from an Apple® iPad® and control from iPad, iPhone®, and iPod touch® devices. In this blog entry, RHS reviews the benefits of Crestron's brand new interface and software and how Pyng can help you tailor your technology to the way you live.

Customized User Experience
The Pyng app user interface sports sleek graphics and is generated automatically. After RHS sets up your Pyng network, you can perform basic functions such as creating scenes and scheduling events without having to make a service call for updates. As a result, you can choose and name rooms, add accessories, create scenes, and schedule events with ease.

With the app, Crestron homeowners can create and "program" individual scenes instantly. Imagine you've taken the time to create the perfect ambiance for your dinner party - from the lighting to the room temperature - every detail of your environment is exactly how you pictured it. With the new Pyng app, you can immediately capture and record the scene for future use.

Simple Intuitive Interface
The Crestron Pyng SmartObject™ provides seamless integration with other Crestron systems. The Pyng app can run on Crestron TSW Series touch screens and can enable events in the AV system to trigger environmental scenes within the Pyng network. Since the cloud provides backup for settings stored in the PYNG-HUB (at MyCrestron.com), nothing is ever lost.
