Today, we’re going to talk about a great audio/video upgrade you should consider: smart home automation.

The Problem with Current Home Audio Video

In a standard home setup, each television, stereo, or other media device is treated as a completely separate system. If you’re enjoying a movie on the TV in the living room and want to continue watching it while you eat dinner in the dining room, it’s a complicated process. Stop the movie in the living room, turn on the television in the dining room, find the right streaming program, select the same movie, fast forward to the same scene, and press play? Not worth it.

That’s just one example, but the underlying problem is that all of your home audio video devices aren’t connected. They should be.

How to Fix It

Today, you can implement AV distribution technology that provides seamless control of all your media devices at once—no matter which room they’re in. With a smart home automation system, every component is integrated. So using a central remote like your smartphone or tablet, you can pull up every television in the home, turn each one on or off, adjust the volume, change the station, swap a movie from one TV to another, and more. Want the same show to play on three TVs at once? All you have to do is select that option on your smartphone.

This system covers more than just smart TVs. Stick a Blu-ray in your Xbox One, then access that gaming console from another room entirely! Place in-wall speakers strategically throughout your home, then stream music in one area or the whole home all at once. However you like to enjoy media in your home, the important thing is that AV distribution makes it easy.

The Results

We focused on some specific examples above, but let’s take a step back and look at the big picture benefits that automating your media devices will bring you.

• Convenience: Skip the hassle of juggling different media devices for different activities or times of day. By automating the system, you get the convenience that comes from one touch.
• Comfort: Enjoy your media the way you want to. When it’s so easy to access your music, movies, television shows, etc., you’ll find yourself enjoying them far more often.
• Interior Design: This central control system means that you don’t have to clutter each room with a bunch of media devices (gaming consoles, Blu-ray players, cable boxes, etc.). Instead, you can tuck those products away in a closet or cabinet while still being able to access them from each room.
• Cost Savings: When one device can connect to every television in your home, you can cut down on recurring fees from streaming services or cable providers. You end up saving a lot of money on your monthly media bills.
