At Electronic Environments, we’ve been working with design-build professionals in New York, NY, for decades, supporting them and their discerning clients in creating smart home residential control systems. One of the common questions we address is how homeowners engage with the system and if it provides a user-friendly experience. Architects and builders also want to know about interoperability and scalability and if it will address the homeowner’s needs as their lives change.

To ensure an intuitive experience that enhances their clients’ lifestyle for years to come, we partner with Crestron. As a leading automation firm for over 50 years, it provides incredibly innovative products, creating the capacity to customize nearly every aspect of smart home living. It enables our team to enhance and alter the capabilities as lives change, families transform, and technology advances. 

There is a reason why, if given the choice between two homes, a buyer will choose the one with enhanced technology solutions 80% of the time. Here, we’ll explore some of the favorite features of architects and their clientele.

The Key Ingredients

If you’ve been in the business long, you know the smart home market is booming. Innovations in lighting technology and home entertainment have escalated demand, with new homes equipped with advanced lighting systems managed by touchscreens, keypads, and voice. A remote control platform for entertainment systems has transformed into remote control for the entire home.

One of the reasons we partner with Crestron is their integration with nearly every third-party connected device, enabling your clients to enjoy the smart systems they love. The platform also possesses a beautiful user interface that’s simple to use, whether making changes to lighting, climate, or entertainment. 

Working with designers and engineers, we create a system that aligns with the home’s aesthetics. It may include motorized window coverings, lighting control, HVAC control, entertainment, security, and more.  

Trending Smart Home Integrations

Two of the most common requests for those entering the world of smart home living include natural light and home-conferencing solutions. By integrating the latest LED technology, we create lighting that mirrors the sun, following the same patterns in color and intensity throughout the day. 

In addition to creating a sense of sunlight filling a home, this also enhances your clients’ circadian rhythms—the body’s sleep-wake cycle. This cycle depends on the endless transitioning of daylight and darkness and, when realigned, supports more energy in the day and a restful sleep at night. 

Today, home conferencing rivals commercial venues. With one touch, your clients experience the ideal atmosphere, with the system adjusting the shades and lighting based on the level of sunlight. At the same time, the AV turns on, and the system connects to the remote participant.
