1. Smart Lighting
Does your home get lost in the shadows once the sun sets? Add color-changing LED fixtures around patios, walkways, and gardens. From niche lights to path lights, we’ll advise you on the fixtures to boost your curb appeal, comfort, and safety. The best part? With intuitive control, it’s easy to switch from warm white lighting for dinner to soft blues or purples for laid-back evenings. Manage brightness, color, and on-and-off settings from your device of choice.
2. Outdoor Speaker Systems
It’s time to get rid of those Bluetooth speakers you’ve been using by the pool. Replace them with a professionally installed outdoor sound system featuring weather-proof speakers installed across different zones. With these zones, you can blast music by the pool while playing a different playlist at a lower volume by the grill. Pull up playlists, set the volume, and choose where to play music from one interface.
3. Fire Pits
Love the glow but not the hassle of lighting a fire? With smart fire pits, you skip the matches and control everything from your phone or remote. We’ll help you choose a design that complements your outdoor décor and integrate it with your home automation. Set automatic shutoff timers, sync with lighting scenes, or ignite the flames before guests arrive with just a tap.
4. Voice Control
You don’t have to step away from the grill or put down your drink to prepare your backyard. Just say the word, and your lighting, music, and fire features respond instantly. Set up voice commands like “start party mode” or “movie night” to activate your favorite settings in seconds. Voice control is the easiest way to create ambiance for any activity.
5. Outdoor TVs
Outdoor-rated TVs are built for bright sunlight, rain, and changing temperatures. Whether you’re watching the game by the grill or hosting a movie night under the stars, you’ll get a clear picture every time without worrying about equipment damage. Pair your TV with your outdoor sound system for an entertainment experience that feels just like indoors.
