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.

Home Control Systems Are Too Hard to Use

We often hear this from people who tried home automation several years back. Even today, if not integrated, you’ll have a separate app for every device, a far cry from a luxury smart home. 

Today, an integrated home control system, such as Control4, is like a personal concierge. It sets the lighting to the perfect color and intensity, adjusts the temperature, and streams your favorite high-fidelity music for the activity at hand. And it does this with one push of a button, voice command, or automated scheduling. 

And what if you want to turn off the lights and lower the shades? Just ask, and your smart home does it for you.

I Don’t Want Technology Intruding on My Home’s Aesthetics

Absolutely! Many of us are surrounded by technology at work. Home should be a refuge, an oasis that allows us to restore and replenish. A smart home can enhance this environment tenfold while ensuring unobtrusive technology. 

Lighting and audio have the power to transform, shifting moods and enhancing ambiance. We’ll program buttons to align both, creating scenes for various moods, times, and activities. Instead of light switches and numerous remotes, you’ll find these buttons on intuitive and beautiful user-friendly interfaces strategically placed on walls or counters.

I’m Concerned About Security and Safety

Everyone wants to feel safe and secure in their home. The latest home security cameras are AI-smart, learning as they watch. Should a stranger walk onto your property, you’ll receive an alert and a video clip. Two-way audio lets you talk to them, and remote access lets you lock the doors from anywhere.

Today’s smart homes offer intuitive controls, brilliant lighting, top security, and the best home entertainment. What could go wrong? Hesitation, perhaps.
