The great Pacific Northwest is one of the most beautiful places in America and is blessed with mild weather, but it has its colder seasons, too. When the summer sun fades, and late fall turns into winter, grayer and wetter weather prevails.

In the colder season, the damp Seattle weather may seem chillier than it actually is. But with smart climate management with a Control4 home automation system, your home can stay comfortable until the warm rays of the spring sun return – and after that too. Keep reading to learn more.

Smart homes are becoming more and more popular. With good reason, too. Home automation is the ultimate union of technology, convenience, and security. The possibilities for what smart homes can do are expanding every day, which means that planning a smart home can be a dizzying experience. That’s why we at Wipliance, have honed in on these five most important components of a smart home.

In the age of wireless technology, why are we talking about prewiring for a smart home? Can’t all smart home devices connect wirelessly to the network? Well, it’s a little more complicated than that.

A smart home automation system featuring integrated solutions like lighting and shading, multi-room audio, and home security requires a strong foundation to work reliably and scale easily within an expansive property. Additionally, wiring for smart home technology before the walls go up mitigates expensive and intrusive installations for technology later.

If you’re an architect planning a smart home in Seattle, WA, the Wipliance team can help you integrate value-added technology solutions within your preliminary design. Keep reading to learn how a wired foundation can underpin the key solutions in your next smart home project.

Naturally, we think there’s no one better than Wipliance to keep you up to date with 2018’s home design trends.. But you don’t have to take our word for it. JayMarc Homes, a Seattle leader in cutting-edge home development, partners with Wipliance to keep their top-of-line homes outfitted with the latest technological innovations, enhancing both comfort and convenience. In fact, JayMarc was recently featured in an article from Seattle Mag, highlighting their trend-setting home designs for 2018, and they mentioned Wipliance’s role as their home automation partner. According to Seattle Mag, Smart Living Home Technology is making an impact in modern Seattle home design. 

According to Oberlo, in 2023, over 60 million U.S. households are using smart devices. This figure represents over 46% of the total number, meaning almost half of all families have adopted smart technology. That is genuinely remarkable, considering the technology only dates back to 1975. 

Why the astronomical rise? Smart devices offer convenience and efficiency and enhance a home’s design. Some of the most popular devices are smart light bulbs, video doorbells, and smart thermostats, each controlled via their own apps. A smart device, however, is much different from a smart home. 

As a home automation contractor serving Scottsdale, AZ, since 2006, Wipliance has witnessed the incredible advancements and immense possibilities today's intelligent home brings. We're proud to be a part of this exciting industry, bringing our clients best-in-class technology that’s easy to use. 

Let's explore what this technology offers and why homeowners choose Wipliance for their smart home needs.

You’ve probably heard of smart devices or even have a few. Some of the most common are smart speakers, video doorbells, smart bulbs, and smart plugs. While these devices add convenience and enjoyment to your life, they pale compared to an integrated home automation system. 

At Wipliance, a home automation company serving Spokane, WA, and the surrounding areas since 2006, we’ve witnessed the changing landscape of smart homes. Today's technology has transformed our day-to-day lives, including our entertainment, lighting, and security. 

Let’s explore the makings of a smart home and how the right one transforms your lifestyle.
