WHAT IS AV AUTOMATION?
In a world ruled by technology, convenience is king, but managing multiple smart devices and entertainment systems can feel more frustrating than freeing. AV automation changes that by streamlining your home’s technology into one cohesive, easy-to-use system.
At Integrated AV, we specialize in designing and installing seamless systems that bring together your home’s audio, video, lighting, and more—all controlled from a single, intuitive platform. Whether you live in Edmond, Nichols Hills, or Oklahoma City, AV automation transforms your space into a smarter, more elegant environment tailored to your lifestyle.
What Does AV Automation Include?
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.
AV automation refers to the integration of your home's core entertainment and environmental systems, such as TVs, speakers, lights, window treatments, and climate control, into a centralized platform. Rather than managing each device individually, you control everything from one app, touchscreen, or with a voice command.
For example, imagine a whole-home stereo system so that you can listen to your favorite audio files anywhere in your home. Or, 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.
Centralized Control for Seamless Entertainment
AV automation is a game-changer for how you experience entertainment at home. Instead of jumping between remotes and apps, everything is controlled from a single interface that’s customized to your preferences.
With one command, the lights dim, the shades lower, and your home theater system powers on to the perfect volume and input as you settle in to watch a movie. Or maybe you’re hosting friends, and music plays across the living room, kitchen, and patio. Zoned control lets you customize each space with its own volume and source control, all coordinated through your phone or voice assistant.
Smart Home Integration with AV Automation
While AV systems are often associated with media and entertainment, the magic really happens when they are integrated with smart home automation systems.
When you walk into your home and activate a “Cozy Evening” scene with a single voice command or tap on your smartphone, the living room lights dim to a soft, warm glow. Your favorite playlist begins to play through hidden in-ceiling speakers. Motorized shades lower automatically, creating a private, relaxed atmosphere.
Because these elements are part of a unified AV automation system, they’re easy to manage from one interface. No toggling between apps or adjusting settings in multiple places. Whether you're hosting friends, winding down after work, or setting the mood for dinner, smart home integration brings a new level of ease and elegance to your AV experience.
H2: Designed for Both Homes and Commercial Spaces
While residential applications are at the heart of what we do, AV automation also brings tremendous value to commercial environments. In restaurants or offices, automation supports the brand experience by creating consistent, easily managed environments. Lighting scenes can change throughout the day to match natural light levels. Background music can be scheduled or adjusted on the fly.
Vacation homes or second residences can also benefit from the installation of smart automation. These systems allow you to monitor and control your home’s AV systems, lighting, and climate remotely for peace of mind wherever you are. AV automation provides a sense of control, comfort, and professionalism that sets your space apart, no matter where you are in the world.
