Enjoy Enhanced Living With a Smart Home System

A smart home system transforms your everyday life, making it easier, more convenient, and much more fun! From lighting that aligns with daylight’s changing colors to shades automatically opening on west-facing windows as the sun sets, it creates a world aligned with your lifestyle.

In a smart home, everyday activities are performed with no effort on your part, and the level of entertainment exceeds your greatest expectations. Let’s explore a day in the life of a smart home and why more homeowners in Palm Beach, FL, and the surrounding areas are enjoying the benefits of home automation.

A smart home system redefines everyday living

In a Florida smart home, you wake to the perfect temperature with shades open and your favorite ‘Good Morning’ playlist streaming through your home. When it’s time for a video conference call, you press a button, and the lighting transforms, the Zoom meeting connects, the speakers deliver high-quality audio, the beamforming microphone ensures a natural conversation, and the 4K video provides crystal-clear images. Who needs to go to the office anymore?

As you go through your day, you notice the lights changing hues and intensities, mirroring the natural light outside and adjusting based on the level of daylight. The motorized shades raise and lower, protecting your home from the sun’s direct rays while letting in the healing benefits of diffuse sunlight. When the sun causes glare on the computer screen, you tap a remote to lower one or every shade.

A smart home sets the perfect environment for every event

When it’s time to relax, you press the ‘Relaxation’ button on a custom-engraved keypad, and the spa heats, the landscape lights illuminate, your ‘Mellow’ playlist streams through the outdoor sound system, and the doors lock.

When it’s time for dinner, you press the ‘Dine’ button, and the lights soften in the dining area while jazz streams through nearly invisible in-ceiling speakers. When the doorbell rings, you check the video on the kitchen touchscreen, welcome some friends via the intercom, and unlock the door with one touch.

After dinner, you head to the media room, tap the ‘Movie Night’ button, and the shades lower, the lights dim, a painting transforms into a TV, and the surround sound immerses you, your friends, and your family into the storyline.

When it’s time for bed, tell your smart home goodnight, and it goes to sleep with you, locking the doors, turning off the lights, and setting the alarm.

Remote access

While this lifestyle is exceptional, sometimes it’s the little things that matter the most. It’s staying connected when you’re at work or across the globe. It’s viewing cameras, locking and unlocking doors, turning on lights, and ensuring all is well, no matter your location.

At Definitive Electronics, we create personalized, smart home systems uniquely designed for each of our clients. For some, that means jumping into home automation full bore. Others prefer to take it slow, starting with motorized shades, smart lighting, or a whole-home audio system. To learn more about smart home systems or to schedule a complimentary consultation, contact Definitive Electronics today.

Definitive and particularly Glenn Zavits are incredibly responsive. They very much help me consider applications that simplify operating our electronics. I recommend Definitve and Glenn highly. Come thick or thin, (as my application is on a boat) they respond and make recommendations for us to consider and execute. Extremely reliable and professional.

Great DE experience today with Daniel. Needed equipment updates & Rutkus access point troubleshooting to solve network interference issues. Daniel patiently worked his way through updates & equipment, including reaching out for OEM technical assistance. Good job, thank you Daniel & DE!!

Dan and Tim were just at my house and I can’t express what a phenomenal job that they did. They took the time to make sure that everything was absolutely perfect, explained everything to me, we’re on time and couldn’t have been nicer. Everything turned out wonderful, and I would highly recommend them to anyone considering getting any AV work done at their home! A+++ across the board.

Daniel with Definitive Electronics was absolutely amazing, hands down! He came out to fix one issue but went above and beyond by helping us with multiple problems we were experiencing. He is extremely knowledgeable, detailed, and thorough in his work. What stood out the most was how he made sure we fully understood everything and took the time to answer all of our questions. His professionalism and expertise are unmatched.

We have been a customer of Definitive for years… and have always been happy with their quick response and professionalism in handling our residence. Today we had the pleasure of meeting a new tech (for us but not the company). Daniel handled the residence with ease and such a great positive demeanor. Very poised under pressure and very quick on finding a solution to the issue. We have known Don and the team for quite some years now and are still happy with them all. Thank you for all you do.

Jason is an outstanding tech. He knows his security camera/DVR technology cold from installation to programming. He also is patient and supportive explaining how everything works and how to use the system to best effect. I highly recommend Jason and Definitive Electronics.

Jason Thorn
Matt was great to work with; he helped us integrate a previous system into our current system that we use and did an amazing job. He also helped bring new systems & equipment into our current platform which was very helpful. Prior to our install Matt & his team ran everything that we needed to get the job done prior to our arrival. Matt's communication and awareness of what we needed was top notch.

This is the most incredible AV company you will ever come across! they are so efficient, detailed, they do what they say they are going to do, they are honest, they recommend and tell you what will work and what won't, and they have the kindest, and most respectful employees. Connor Dixon is a rock star, always staying on top of what needs to be done and will be done and giving me a date and time and shows up, and in this world we live in this is all so refreshing!

Matthew Ray with Definitive was extremely helpful, efficient and knowledgeable! He went above and beyond to diagnose my chronic Internet problems, and educated me about many things including suggestions on how to lower my $450 Xfinity bill. Most of all he worked directly with the Comcast technician at my house when all the TVs were out and this prevented me from making many phone calls to Comcast that would only cause many headaches. Thank you so much to Matthew and Definitive for making this experience so pleasant!

Had some speakers installed as well as some remote control blinds. The owner Don was very friendly and Brian and billing with the extra mile to explain everything that needed to be explained. The installer Ken is second to none. He even put batteries in my remote control.!

Our experience with Definitive Electronics exceeded our expectations in every way. From the Shade design, planned WiFi coverage and all of the TV’s, we couldn’t be happier. From the initial sales consult with Tom Samuelson to the final installation support from Ken Wright and the expertise of the overall installation by Rob Glucksman, it was a first-rate experience!

We have worked with Definitive Electronics for many of our client's AV and low voltage needs. Their staff is highly educated and professional when it comes to the latest equipment on the market. Working with Definitive has been a smooth process throughout all of our construction processes, and Rothrock Construction will continue to work with their firm over the upcoming years.
