Are Your Home Network and Smart Devices Ready for the Future?

With newer, better technologies launching every day, it isn’t easy for homeowners to keep up with progress. The same is true for their homes. To be truly smart, a home must be versatile, adaptable, and scalable, reflecting both our mobile lifestyle and an evolving technological landscape. Its smart devices and technology systems must be integrated, interconnected, and fully automated. 

Considering the future is wireless, it is not surprising that a robust home Wi-Fi network is behind effective smart homes in the Bay Area or that the experts at Hermary’s have in-depth experience in the field.

Read on to learn why a robust Wi-Fi network is a key component of the smart homes of today and the future. 

Learn How a Smart Home Security System Can Protect Your Home and Loved Ones

In September 2022, police reported on a rash of residential burglaries in the Bay Area that they believe are part of an organized crime ring. They specifically come to the U.S. to target affluent communities and usually break glass to gain entry into a home. The police department encouraged homeowners to check their surveillance footage, looking for suspicious vehicles or people. 

We share this information with you not to alarm you but to increase awareness. There are steps you can take to help create a safe haven—what your home is meant to be. Let’s look at a typical burglary, what you can do to prevent it, and how a home security system offers protection. 

Add Convenience, Comfort, and Class to Your Movie-Watching Experiences

Over the past decade, movie prices have skyrocketed. In 2010, one adult ticket was just over $7. Today, a ticket costs $11, and that’s a conservative estimate! By the time you pay for tickets, concessions (which are outrageously priced), and the babysitter, you’ve probably spent close to $100 for two people to enjoy an evening show. 

But you no longer have to pay high ticket prices to enjoy cinema-quality entertainment. Instead, Hermary’s can expertly design and install a luxurious home theater system in your home with the latest technology. Then, you can enjoy movies in your Bay Area home night after night – no babysitter necessary!

Effortlessly Control Natural and Artificial Light

Today’s automated technology enables homeowners to manage their lighting effortlessly. Gone are the multiple light switches and, in their place, are elegant, custom-engraved in-wall keypads, touchscreens, and remotes. With one touch or voice control, they can change every light in their home and raise or lower every shade. It’s pretty remarkable. 

But it gets even better. The latest home automation platforms manage your home’s lighting for you, automatically raising and lowering the shades, letting in diffused sun rays without harming fine art, floorings, or furniture. At the same time, the lights dim and brighten, based on the level of natural light in the room. It’s the perfect balance of natural and electric light. 

While this type of technology requires extensive home automation knowledge, the professional lighting design brings your Bay Area home to life. The unique colors, placement, highlights, washes, and hidden recesses create the mood and aesthetics. At Hermary’s, our team of design and integration experts create extraordinary results by combining technology and design. We work with our valued clients to develop customized solutions unique to their lifestyles and dreams. Let's explore the possibilities in our blog below!
