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.

Motorized shades offer both convenience and elegance, making them the perfect finishing touch to your home. In Seattle, WA, Wipliance stands out as a leader in creating custom solutions that cater to unique architectural features, including angled windows.

Automating your lights to follow a schedule is handy, but a schedule can’t predict what’s really going on at home. If it’s a stormy, cloudy day (a common occurrence here in Medina, WA), your Lutron lighting system won’t know that it should open the drapes and turn on the LEDs to get some light. Likewise, if it’s starting to get darker earlier each day of fall, a schedule won’t be able to account for the changing night sky. 

That’s where sensors come in handy. Lutron’s occupancy and daylight sensors are essential to a complete smart lighting experience. Learn how they work and can enhance a Lutron lighting system below. 

So you are looking to add smart technology and automation to your Medina, WA, home. In an enclave full of successful technology entrepreneurs and executives, there’s no lack of technological savvy. However, that alone does not ensure a successful smart home project. The Bellevue-Seattle area has no shortage of smart home consultants and solutions; how do you choose the right one for your project? Keep reading below for four key considerations.
