Home Automation Offers Convenience, Security, and Energy Efficiency

It seems that almost every day, we hear about a new technology making its appearance in the smart home automation industry. From video doorbells and smart speakers to lighting and shades, you can manage the devices in your home with one touch of a button.

Smart homes have genuinely revolutionized our everyday lives. Are you wondering what home automation services can do for your home in Boca Raton, FL or the surrounding areas? Let’s look at how these systems are changing lives throughout Florida.

What Is Home Automation?

Home automation uses customized programming and the latest technology functions to enable a home’s electronics and systems to communicate with each other. Homeowners can control these smart systems via a tablet, in-wall touchscreen, keypad, remote control, or smartphone. The systems controlled through smart home technology include climate, lighting, shading, entertainment, and security.

Your hot tub, pool, oven, refrigerator, and stereo are just a few examples of what you can manage inside your South Florida home. You can be at home or around the world on a holiday vacation, and you’ll be able to manage, monitor, and control your smart home system. You’ll experience incredible convenience, security, and improve the aesthetic of your home.

Convenience

Did your kids forget their keys when they ran out the door this morning? With one touch on your smartphone, you’ll be able to unlock the doors upon their arrival. Better yet, today’s technology has also created secure biometric locks that can let each family member into the home with just their fingerprints or a unique user code.

Would you like the spa heated up before you arrive home from work? How about getting the oven preheated so you can get dinner going a little earlier? All these actions and much more are possible with a smart home automation and control system.

A preset scene can even simultaneously initiate multiple systems with one touch of a button. For example, when you’re leaving on a weekend trip, tap the “Away” scene, and your doors lock, the security system arms itself, and the lighting and shades change throughout the day, giving the appearance of an occupied home. 

Security

Your smart home system can let you know when someone’s at your door before they even ring the bell. You can view visitors from your video doorbell and speak to them through the two-way intercom. Would you like them to drop off a package via your side gate? Simply let them know and remotely unlock the gate. Once they’re gone, you can lock the gate remotely.

Many people also enjoy coming home to a well-lit house. It makes them feel safe, secure, and welcome after a long day at work. Our certified technicians can make this possible through geofencing.

When your car makes its way into the driveway, your landscape lighting illuminates a trail of lights to the front door, and your front entrance and foyer brighten with just the right intensity and hue of welcoming light. When you walk in, you hear your favorite music playing, see a brightly lit kitchen, and view the outdoor landscape lights creating a magical oasis in your backyard.

Energy Efficient

We can program your home’s thermostat to adjust throughout the day, saving on electricity and reducing your carbon footprint. Your system can automatically turn down the heater or air conditioner when you leave for the day and start it up right before you or your family members arrive home. Through AI learning, your smart home gets to know your preferences and automatically adjusts the temperature accordingly.

We can also install monitors that turn the lights off when no one is in a room and turn them back on when someone enters.

At Definitive Electronics, we install customized smart home solutions that elevate lifestyles in Boca Raton and beyond. To learn more about personalized home automation services or 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.
