Whether Scottsdale is home for you or a respite from colder climates, the three seasons outside of summer are perfect for outdoor activities and relaxation. Of course, the Arizona summer is also great, with a pool and some shade! Are you planning any outdoor amenities this year? Whether it's a new or remodeled pool, outdoor kitchen, or landscaping, it's the perfect time to add a soundtrack to your spaces with an outdoor speaker system. 

Need some inspiration? Here are four popular outdoor amenities that go better with sound.

As a home automation company serving Coeur d’Alene, ID, and the surrounding area for over 15 years, Wipliance has watched the technology landscape transform. Smart devices have given way to entire smart homes controlled by an intuitive user interface with powerful back-end programming. These platforms offer one-touch control of interior and exterior lighting, shades, audio and video equipment, pools and spas, and security. 

However, in the hands of an experienced integrator, home automation offers so much more. We customize every smart home for our clients’ unique vision and daily lifestyle. With this in mind, we program personalized scenes that create a sequence of events, like a chain reaction. 

Let’s explore what this conditional programming offers and how it creates a luxurious life of ease that provides you and your family time to get back to the things you genuinely love.

Motorized window shades are one of our clients’ favorite smart home technologies. Imagine shades that automatically raise and lower throughout the day, letting in diffuse sunlight while protecting fine art and furnishings. 

If sunlight's glare hits your computer screen or TV, one tap on a remote or touchscreen lowers the window shades. Smart shades enhance privacy and security while adding energy efficiency and, to a large degree, define a life of luxury.

One of our partners in this arena, Hunter Douglas, is coming out with a new line in the spring of 2023 that we’re excited to share with our clients. Aura Illuminated Shades take motorized window coverings to the next level, offering three solutions in one. Let’s explore this latest shade solution and what it can do for your home in Coeur D’Alene, ID.

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.

Music exerts a tremendous influence on humans. According to John Hopkins Medicine, listening to music has been shown to improve sleep, enhance mood, improve memory, reduce anxiety, and even reduce pain. That’s pretty powerful stuff. 

The question becomes, how much do we use the effective healing power of music? Our lives get busy. We rush home at the end of the day to spend some time with the kids and get dinner started. Others bring their work home with them. Before we know it, a day has passed without us tuning in to our favorite playlist, listening to our treasured vinyl, or just taking time to relax and let the music surround us. 

Here's the good news. A whole home audio system can change that. Let's explore how these systems transform homes and homeowners in Liberty Lake, WA.
