At Wipliance, we’ve long been fans of Lutron, industry leaders in lighting and shading control. Since their beginnings, they’ve pushed the boundaries of what’s possible and delivered cutting-edge technology that defines today’s industry standards.

In 2019, they delivered Clear Connect - Type X. Let’s explore what this means to home automation and why we, as a premier Lutron installer, are excited to bring this technology to your home in Seattle, WA.

One of the best features of smart home automation is how the technology makes daily life easier by automating things you do every day, saving you time for the things that really matter. Nowhere is that more evident than with smart lighting control. Lighting control can manage lights on schedules or turn something on or off based on your presence in the room — and these are but two examples.

When you equip your residence with a whole-home lighting control system, you can step up to more sophisticated automation that can make every aspect of your home life easier and more relaxing. The key feature is lighting scenes, where you can set a whole group of lights — from one room to your entire property — to specific settings to set a mood or ambiance or to illuminate any activity. Let’s look at a few ways lighting scenes can light up your life in Bellevue, WA.

There’s no arguing the convenience of home voice control. By integrating a voice assistant with your smart home, you can manage music, lights, locks, and even smart home scenes without lifting a finger.

Still, convenience doesn’t seem to override privacy concerns. According to Statista, 45% of smart speaker users worry about voice data privacy, while 42% worry about voice data hacking.

Are these concerns justified or baseless? Find out below. Our smart home consultants explore three unsettling facts about voice privacy and suggest a better voice assistant for your Phoenix, AZ home.

So, you’ve made your way from the frigid climates to the warm desert of Phoenix, AZ, to enjoy the weather, relax with friends, and sit by the pool until the end of spring begins to thaw the northern realms. Smart move. For some, it’s easy to leave their home behind, knowing they have a good neighbor to keep an eye on it or one of their family members to hold down the fort. 

For others, however, leaving their home unattended can be unsettling. Extreme weather conditions, thieves that set their sights on unoccupied homes, and months wondering if all is well back home can take their toll. What should be a relaxing and enjoyable interlude turns into a worrisome experience.

The great news is that integrating a few smart home devices or a whole home automation system can dispel your concerns. As a home automation company serving Phoenix, AZ, many of our clients are snowbirds that share their time between two states. Once we set them up with remote access and they know their home is secure, they can spend time relaxing and let their worries drift away in the warmth of an Arizona sun. Let’s see how it’s done.

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) has provided the largest global stage for innovative new products and technologies for over 50 years. A few of the categories we pay close attention to every year include audio and video, home entertainment, and smart home and appliances. This year’s 2022 event was once again filled with incredible inventions in these areas and others. A few of the mentionable items include Cambridge Audio’s high-end turntable, a Smart kitchen faucet by Moen, and Mark Levinson’s first headphones. 

It was a solid year for the audio-video industry, with high-quality, or should we say “higher-quality,” TVs and large displays taking center stage. As a premier home theater company and automated solutions provider serving Seattle, WA, we partner with the top companies in the industry. To say we were excited to see the remarkable technologies unfolding, especially among two of our favorite brands, is an understatement.

Let’s look at what the two leaders in electronics and entertainment are offering the world in high-end, cinematic-quality TVs and sound in 2022.
