Stepping into Smart Home Living with the Help of Hermary’s 

As technology advances, the choices in smart home services can feel almost overwhelming. You know the benefits: an unprecedented ease of living, immense beauty, and a home that takes luxury living to the next level. 

But where do you begin? Do you want to transform the feel and mood of your home with a whole-home audio system? Perhaps you want to start with lighting that reflects the natural world, enhancing your family’s well-being. Or, maybe you want to turn your home into an intelligent home that encompasses the many possibilities of smart home living.

At Hermary’s, we understand. For 60 years, we’ve watched technology transform our everyday lives in miraculous ways. As a trusted advisor and leader in the industry, we’re here to help you make the best decisions. We’ll explore every possibility and help you determine which options align with your lifestyle in the Bay Area.

As Plato said, “The beginning is the most important part of the work.” Let’s start at the beginning and share a few of the possibilities in today’s home automation. 

Discover the Possibilities in a Smart Home

If you’re new to the world of smart home automation, you may think of this technology in terms of lights that turn on and off with voice commands and motorized window shades that raise and lower with one touch on an in-wall keypad. While these represent smart home technology, they’re but a small piece of the smart home pie. A whole-home automation platform offers so much more. 

In essence, it creates an integrated ecosystem of interconnected devices and systems that respond to your needs and lifestyle. Tap an icon on a touchscreen, and your lights transform to the color of candlelight while your “Relaxing” playlist streams through your San Francisco, CA home and outdoor spaces. In the hands of an experienced integrator, a customized smart home offers the ultimate lifestyle, effortless management of your home, and greater enjoyment. 

Let’s explore a few of the many features today’s smart home brings homeowners in the Bay Area.

Use Smart Shades for More Than “Good Morning” and “Good Night”

Color-changing LEDs get a lot of attention in the lighting control world, but you’d be remiss to overlook the incredible power of motorized shades. You can program motorized shades to raise and lower independently on schedule or across the house with a single command. 

Even if you only use motorized shades in the morning and night, you’d be saving valuable time. But beyond starting and ending your day, there are other times automated window shades are an invaluable help around the house.

Here’s how motorized shades can benefit your Bay Area home each day!

Add the Soundtrack to All Your Pool Fun

With spring here in Northern California, your outdoor spaces become a prime area for entertainment of family and friends. Having a powerful audio system for your San Francisco home is the key to achieve the quality entertainment you've been looking for in your backyard activities.

You can take all your parties and outdoor activities to the next level with your favorite music through a high-performance poolside audio system. Want to know how? Keep reading to learn more about poolside audio.

Discover the Versatility, Convenience, and Luxury of a Smart Home Automation System 

In the early 1950s, black and white televisions became commonplace in homes. By 1956, more than half of U.S. homes had a television. No new invention had entered homes faster than the TV. Even though it was a modern marvel, there was only one way to control it: twist the knob to turn it on and off. Now, we can adjust our TVs in a myriad of ways – manually, by remote, or with smart home automation. 

If you already live in a smart home, ask yourself this question: Are you controlling your smart technologies only one way? While using a touchpad is certainly more convenient than manually adjusting your lights, TVs, and motorized shades, you have other options too – ones that add even more luxury to your life. Keep reading to discover all four ways you can take control of your Bay Area smart home. 

Learn How Your Home Can Have a Fast and Reliable Internet Connection

Do you have the speed you need for your home network? Your internet and Wi-Fi may have worked perfectly several years ago, but now it’s lagging. There’s a good reason why, too! As you add more Wi-Fi devices to your home networking system as well as connected smart products, it puts a strain on your network’s bandwidth. At the same time, your router will have trouble communicating wirelessly to so many devices simultaneously.

The only solution is to upgrade your system so it can handle all your devices, including your phones, computers, and smart home technologies. By installing advanced routers, Wi-Fi extenders, and enterprise-grade network solutions, Hermary’s ensures you always have a strong and stable connection at your Bay Area home.
