DIY Smart Home or Work with a Home Automation Company?
Explore the Makings of a Smart Home
There was a time when smart technology was a rare commodity. Today, almost half of all homes in America have a smart device. In response, nearly every industry has developed its own automated technology, from doggie doors to appliances and every entertainment device imaginable.
So, do you really need to work with a home automation company?
In a DIY world, it may be tempting to go it on your own. However, the end result will be far different from that of an automated home. It's like taking on an extensive home renovation and then realizing that a professional is the way to go after you've torn down a wall.
Let's explore why homeowners turn to professionals to create the smart home of their dreams and why homeowners in Dayton, OH, turn to Beacon Audio Video Systems.

What Is Home Automation?
At Beacon, we partner with Control4, one of the leaders in comprehensive home automation. Integrating this system into your home requires a professional. Why? Because it takes extensive knowledge and training in networking, wiring, and audio/video. Our team has also received additional training from the many best-in-class manufacturers we work with in lighting, motorized shades, security, home entertainment, and more.
As designers, installers, and programmers, we understand how all the devices work together and, as importantly, those that are incompatible. The result is an orchestrated system where all systems work seamlessly. For instance, press 'Relax,' and the lights dim, soft jazz streams through your home, the shades lower, and the doors lock.
We're not selling smart home products; we're helping you design and enjoy the smart home of your dreams.
Customized for You
As a home automation integrator, we customize your system to perform just as you want. Every electronic device is programmed to respond when you press a button, tap an icon, or state a command. Do you want the landscape, entryway, and kitchen lights to turn on when you pull into the driveway?
Maybe you want the garage door to open, the door to unlock, the thermostat to adjust, and your 'I'm Home' playlist to welcome you when you walk in the door. The possibilities are genuinely limitless. From when you wake up until you retire, your smart home creates the perfect environment.
The Backbone of Your Home
Not only are we Control4 certified, but we're also PCNA certified. That means we've been trained and tested in building a strong and reliable home network, the foundation of your smart home. We ensure robust connectivity, whether streaming movies in the media room or enjoying your outdoor audio system at the far corner of your backyard.
You'll also be able to monitor and manage your smart home when you're away, whether at work or on a tropical vacation. Do you have a pet sitter staying at your home when you're gone? You'll know the status of your lights, door locks, security system, and all the other connected devices. Did they forget to lock the doors? Tap an icon, and it's done.
