The first smartphone came out in 1992, and it was big. It could send and receive emails and faxes. Fast forward, and we can stream videos, have dozens of apps, and take incredible photographs. The original smartphone has gone the way of the dinosaur.

Why the smartphone history? It’s a little like home control systems. Technology is advancing rapidly, and keeping up with it requires close ties to the industry. At Wipliance, we’ve witnessed this incredible expansion firsthand, starting in the industry 18 years ago. What’s possible now, compared to then, is truly miraculous. 

If you integrated smart home control in its infancy, it may be time for an upgrade. If you have yet to take the plunge, consider the added convenience and enjoyment you’ll get to experience. 

So, let’s look at the concerns many people face when considering smart home living and the answers found in today’s technology. 

Any serious music fan should consider a whole-home audio system. What’s better than being able to quickly select your favorite songs from a streaming service or your own media collection and enjoy them seamlessly throughout the house—sans earbuds?

A big name in whole-home audio is Sonos, known for their hi-fi wireless speakers, proprietary speaker synchronization, and intuitive user interface available for Android and iOS devices.

For some homeowners in Redmond, WA, Sonos may be the preferable choice for whole-home audio. But before you pull the trigger on Sonos, you may want to take a gander at another big name in whole-home audio: Control4. What does Control4 offer that Sonos doesn’t? Read below to learn the differences between Sonos and Control4 and decide which may be a better solution for you.

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.
