Control4 versus Sonos: What’s the Best Multiroom Home Audio System?

What You Should Know Before Installing a Home Audio System

A Control4 home audio system gives you the power to listen to incredible sound while watching movies or listening to music, and you can also control your entire integrated home automation system with the tap of a button on a touch panel, smart remote, or your smartphone. You can also listen to different audio sources in various areas of your home—the kids can stream the big game on your outdoor patio speakers while relaxing music is playing throughout your kitchen and dining areas as you finish preparation on all of the game-day snacks.

Many people ask why they should consider Control4 instead of merely adding Sonos speakers for audio throughout their home in a DIY fashion. In this blog, we’ll cover how Control4 provides more value per audio zone within your home, perfect for distributed home audio in your Phoenix, AZ-area home.

Why Plan for Motorized Shades at the Start of Your Home Build?

Explore the Many Advantages of Hardwired Custom Window Treatments

Why Plan for Motorized Shades at the Start of Your Home Build?

Motorized shades are a coveted solution for homes of all sizes and styles. By choosing powered shading solutions, homeowners can effortlessly master natural light with one-tap controls or automated schedules while improving privacy, security, and home décor.

If you want to go from manual to motorized, battery-powered shades are faster and more budget-friendly to install in an existing home than hardwired solutions, which require opening walls to run wire. But that’s where the benefits of battery-powered shades end. Ultimately, hardwired solutions offer more advantages related to style, performance, convenience, and sustainability.

To get the most out of your motorized shades, it’s best to plan for this smart home solution during new construction so that running wire can be pre-planned and more efficient. Keep reading to learn more about the advantages of hardwired custom window treatments for your Scottsdale, AZ home.

Work with the Leading Home Automation Contractor in Scottsdale

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.
