WHAT IS AV AUTOMATION?

In our modern, technologically enhanced world, it can seem as though the tools that are intended to simplify life can actually make everything more stressful. By bringing together the controls for these tools, though, you can be well on your way to making your life easier and more productive. That goal is at the heart of AV automation, an important yet often-misunderstood topic. To help you understand if AV automation can improve your life, here are a few insights from Integrated HVAC in Edmond on the basics of this cutting-edge home solution.

AUDIO AND VISUAL SYSTEMS

When most people think of audio/visual applications in the home, they think of the basic home theater setup. Essentially, they think of a large television with a clear picture and sound that’s augmented with an amplifier and some type of speaker. However, audio/visual solutions can go far beyond these basic applications, and that is where AV automation comes into play.

For example, think of a whole-home stereo system set up so that you can listen to your favorite audio files anywhere in your home. Or, think of having multiple televisions wired to synchronize your content so that you can operate them all from a single centralized source. The possibilities are truly endless, allowing you to create a home that acts as more of a retreat than a simple structure where you happen to live.

Since the controls for such a multi-faceted system could become quite complicated, AV automation is necessary to make the entire experience user-friendly. Rather than having multiple remote controls that you have to keep track of, AV automation allows your entire system to be controlled from an app on your phone. You’ll be able to make adjustments from anywhere in the world. This type of engaging and inspiring integration is just one way that AV automation from Integrated HVAC can improve your life.

SMART HOME SOLUTIONS

Even though automation is effective when paired with audio/visual applications, that’s not the only way that automation from Integrated HVAC can be deployed. Automation can make your home life easier in almost every imaginable way and do it so that it gives you less to think about.

For example, if you have smart lights that are integrated into your automation system, you can sync them with your alarm system to help protect your home. If the alarm system detects someone trying to break in, your smart hub can activate various lights throughout your home to fool the burglar into thinking that someone’s coming, thus lessening the chance that they’ll keep trying to break in.

Another use-case would be integrating smart blinds in your home automation system. As the sun sets, the blinds can automatically lower themselves while your system slowly increases the brightness of the lights around your home so that you can see easily. At the same time, the system can adjust the color temperature of the lights. That way, you’re not bombarded with bright lights that could keep you awake.

NOT JUST FOR HOMES

Automation doesn’t just have to be used in a home. As long as you have a power source to support the central hub, you can set up an automated environment just about anywhere. Whether it’s a boat, an RV, a trailer, a hunting stand, or a commercial building, automation can increase the efficiency and simplicity of your life everywhere you go.

If you roll out automation capabilities from Integrated HVAC in Edmond to these different locations, automation then becomes a way to integrate your life together into a seamless unit. This allows you to know what’s going on at each of these locations and has control over what goes on there from wherever you are. Thus, you can always have the utmost peace of mind.
