‘Home control’ and ‘home automation’—what’s the difference? The two terms are often used interchangeably but have very different meanings. 

While you might be tempted to use DIY smart devices in your West Palm Beach, FL home, you can achieve much more with a home automation system. In many cases, homeowners think smart control will cover their needs when in actuality, they really want the benefits of home automation.

Read on to learn what home control and automation mean and how you can experience the best of both with a professional installation. 

We’re a home automation company. Yet when we hear people complain that smart homes are “overrated” or “don’t work” (like this article in Gizmodo), we take no offense. Why not? 

Because we know that these smart homes were not professionally installed with the best control systems. They're DIY smart homes, relying on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and “20 different apps” to control it all. If you only use off-the-shelf smart gadgets from Amazon or Best Buy, it’s no surprise that you’ll run into trouble!  

For a real smart home experience, you need to partner with a home automation company (like our team in Palm Beach, FL) that can seamlessly wire and program your entire house’s technology. Here’s why a professional smart system makes all the difference. 

There’s a difference between purchasing plug-and-play smart devices—like a video doorbell—and a fully integrated smart home. A true smart home is seamless and streamlined, with every device synced to the same controller. And when your smart home is installed by a professional, technology and controllers blend into the walls with no wires or obtrusive gadgets in sight.

If you’ve been thinking about smart home automation for a while but aren’t sure if it’s right for you, you’ve come to the right place. We work with new homeowners daily in West Palm Beach, FL, and we’ve seen skeptics or hesitators grow to adore their smart home systems.
