Ask an interior designer about smart technology and AV equipment in the home, and they might say, "just make sure I can't see it." We might exaggerate some here, but designers work hard to create a customized aesthetic and atmosphere in their projects. And while many AV and smart tech products are beautifully designed, the reality is that many don't add much aesthetic value. 

However, you might be surprised to learn that smart technology can streamline homes and make them sleeker and more stylish. And that you can hide technology that you don't want to see! Here are three smart home interior design suggestions for your Rosemary Beach, FL, residence. 

In the past, security systems and solutions tended to be islands unto themselves. You might have had an alarm system with window, door, and motion sensors that would sound the siren if one of them was tripped, and it might also be monitored by a security company. You might have also had a video surveillance system that looked out over various parts of your property. Those systems were separate, had their own controls, and never communicated.

Today, integrated security systems not only provide more ways to keep an eye on your home and stay safe, but they also do it in concert, giving you many options for safety and controlling access to your Atlanta, GA, home. Let's explore a few elements of integrated security systems below.

We adapt to technology quickly, perhaps more than we realize. In the past 25 years, life has changed markedly with the onslaught of the Internet, which continues to connect not just people but almost every facet of our lives.

Sometimes, people rue the effect of technology on their lives and long for the "good old days" before it came along. They complain about the impact of technology, that all our "interconnectedness" makes too much of a 24/7 world.

However, technology can also enhance our lives in ways far better than the “good old days.” One of the latest features of LED lighting and lighting control is color-tuned lighting, and it promises to make your home’s lighting more natural and attuned to your daily rhythms.

It’s called human-centric lighting, and it’s brought to your Roswell home by Lutron, a pioneer in lighting control since the good old days. Read on to see how Lutron lighting control can enhance your wellness at home.

You may ask, where do Google Nest and their smart home ecosystem fit into what we do? First, many people love Nest thermostats and want them in their homes, both for their functionality and elegant design. They can be integrated well with a Control4 or Crestron system too.

But Google Nest ecosystem includes other smart home products, including smart cameras, video doorbells, and smart speakers. For some of our customers not looking for a full-blown home automation solution, these products are an excellent solution with a strong value proposition.

Here’s where Georgia Home Theater comes in. While the Google Nest product suite can be a DIY affair, not everyone likes to put all the pieces together or has the time to make it work correctly. In much the same way people have us to mount their TVs and set up AV control systems, as an expert smart home company we can also set up and integrate Google Nest products in your Roswell, GA home. We can ensure your Nest thermostat, smart cameras, and video doorbells work together to solve your home automation requirements.

Is Google Nest the right system for you? Keep reading to get to know more about these smart devices.
