Well yes we can! And we can make it simpler too! The main goal of smart homes is automation and connection. Smart home products take advantage of the connections they can make to other devices to optimize the way you use your home. But many of these smart home products defeat their main purpose when they don’t integrate well with each other, become too complicated to use, or become obsolete due to poor manufacturing.
Brands We Can Get Behind
Solanta is careful to choose products from manufacturers who continually show their commitment to hardware excellence and software integration. Our projects are built on an open software platform, meaning you have more choices. Products are available across a range of categories like home theater and audio, lighting, shades, security cameras, door locks, thermostats, energy production and monitoring, with new products being released all the time! Here are some brands we work with:
Smart Home Controllers
While many smart home products can be controlled from the mobile app they came with, the simplicity of the best smart homes is in how you can access all your devices and services from a smart home controller! A smart home controller can be a physical device like a touch screen tablet or universal remote control or an app for iOS and Android devices.
Multiple controllers can be used in the same home, like Brilliant’s in wall panel, Logitech’s Harmony remotes, and voice controllers like Siri, Alexa, and Google. Voice controllers allow you to create custom phrases and scenes to control a specific device, a few devices simultaneously, or your entire Solanta Smart Home with a single command.
Security Systems
Take full control of your home with advanced security that’s smarter than ever before. Check in on things while away from home, receive a notification when someone arrives at your door or if the garage door is left open, and be alerted to intruders through sensors on windows and doors.
Security camera systems have been around forever, but now your Smart Home security system can sync footage with the cloud and interact with other devices in your home, letting you tighten security from anywhere, at anytime.
Home Climate Control
While changing to LEDs and energy efficient appliances saves energy, it’s a drop in the bucket compared to what a smart thermostat can do. Your thermostat controls half of your energy bill, and it’s wasting energy when you’re not paying attention.
Smart thermostats are designed to learn from your habits and create a schedule for you to save more energy. They use data about the outside temperature and your routines to preheat and precool the home, and they can be used with multi-zone HVAC systems and sensors to give complete temperature control over individual rooms.
Programmable Lighting and Blinds
Lighting is more than just a utility for the home, it’s an aesthetic for every part of your day. It creates a mood to complement movie night or family time. Lights can fade on to wake you in the morning and fade off at night to help you transition to bedtime. Automatic shades let the outdoor light in during the day by transitioning with the sun.
Turn lights on automatically when you arrive home, and use motion sensors to alert you with flashes when there’s a security notification. Turn lights on or off with any of your Smart Home Controllers, so you don’t use power you don’t need to be using. Or, you can use voice control to tell your home good night to turn every light off from the comfort of your bed.
Home Theater Systems
Solanta can design a jaw-dropping home theater that rivals any cineplex. Incorporate immersive, high-resolution audio, high-definition video, a smart TV, and customized lighting to create the ultimate home theater experience. Systems can be customized to fit a room of any size.
Multi Room Audio
Integrated home audio systems allow for you to play crystal-clear music in multiple rooms. Our systems are integrated with smart assistants to select music, movies, or shows without touching a single screen or button. These systems can even be extended outdoors, to keep the music going everywhere you need it!
Solar Energy Systems
If you have solar already, or are thinking of going solar, then home automation projects are a great choice! Solar monitoring tools from companies like Sense and Enphase allow you to monitor your panels’ activity right from your phone or smart home hub, so you know how much energy your panels are producing, how much you’re using, and so you can manage demand shifting if you also have an energy storage system.
Empower Everyday Interactions with a Solanta Home Control System!
Every home can become a smart home, even if your home has been standing for years! Although a remodel is a great time to consider smart home upgrades, Solanta’s products are built to scale and can be integrated into both new and existing homes. You can conveniently connect to both wired and wireless devices from hundreds of brands to improve the way you way you relax, work, entertain, cook, create, and live, every day.
