IoT (Internet of Things) devices are more prevalent than ever in Indiana households. Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant have become the latest members of many families, and video doorbell devices promise to keep homes safe. But if you desire a truly sophisticated smart home, you’d be selling yourself short to stop with these plug-and-play devices.

Why? We share what true smart home automation can achieve for your Carmel, IN house below, so you can see how working with a professional integrator makes all the difference.

What makes a home “smart”? Maybe you or someone you know owns a smart device like the Amazon Alexa or a Nest thermostat. But true smart home automation can (and should) be so much more. An automated home allows you to control every device in your house from a tablet or smartphone from anywhere. Everything — lights, music, video, climate, security, etc. — is in your control and will connect to a remotely managed network.

If you can imagine automating it, you can probably do it. Each piece of your house will function automatically in one system, like magic. With smart home automation, your Carmel, IN, house should feel like it’s in the world of Harry Potter.
