The Night Before

Tomorrow is the day, and they are coming! If that phrase sounds terrifying, you are probably not alone. But, don’t worry. The whole home AV system that Electronic Environments designed and installed for you is already programmed with the pre-approved family playlist. 

You are spending the night relaxing at the home theater, watching your favorite holiday film on a Sony ES projector screen. The surround sound from your James Loudspeakers has you feeling like you are in the North Pole. The home theater’s acoustic wall treatment keeps the room peaceful and quiet. It is the calm before the storm! 

The Holiday Spirit

It is early in the morning, and the Ketra tunable lights wake you up to the perfect color temperature and intensity. You feel your energy levels shoot through the roof! Such are the effects of human-centric lighting solutions by companies like Lutron. 

For the coming party, those same lights will dim to create a beautiful holiday atmosphere. The cherry on top is the whole home audio system. It is set to play three different playlists, one in the living room, one in the kitchen, and another in the backyard. 

With Savant home automation it’ll be easy to adjust climate, lights and volume as the night goes on based on guest requests. 

An Outdoor Family Gathering 

By the end of the afternoon, the whole family is sharing laughs and stories in the backyard. The James loudspeakers are keeping everyone entertained. 

Those not dancing along to the holiday music are watching the football game. Thanks to the Seura TV that Electronic Environment recommended, glare is not an issue. In the background, you see the Coastal Source lights come on at the usual time and realize the comfort that comes from every smart home system working as intended.
