Live a Luxurious Lifestyle with Home Automation

How do you define a life of luxury? For many, it's a sense of safety, security, and extreme comfort. As André Leon Talley described in Vogue, “Luxury is to be able to take control of one’s life, health, and the pursuit of happiness in a way that is joyful.”

Today, home automation offers all of that and more. It brings extreme convenience and ease of living and enhances daily joys. At Eighteen Group, we create user-friendly systems that manage your lighting, climate, entertainment, security, and more automatically or with one touch. 

Let’s explore the world of smart home living and what it offers homeowners and their families in Portland, OR.

Home Automation Defined

A home automation platform is the brains behind your smart home. This platform manages your smart devices and systems, connecting to them through your home’s network. These systems also connect to each other, creating a seamless exchange of information that results in an eco-friendly environment that’s beautiful, enjoyable, entertaining, and effortless to manage. 

For instance, tap the “Dinner" button on an in-wall keypad, and your lights transform to the perfect hue and temperature for the task. For some, that's the color of golden candlelight in the dining area and the soft glow of amber through the home. With today’s dynamic, full-spectrum LED lighting, we can use lights like an artist uses paints. At the same time, your motorized shades lower for privacy, the doors lock, and your favorite playlist streams through your home. 

No-Touch Control

You can easily control your entire home from a high-resolution touchscreen, custom-engraved keypad, remote, or mobile app. Remote access enables you to check on your home when you’re away, opening the door for the pet walker or locking a door left unsecured. 

However, the "automated" aspect of home automation is even more impressive. We'll program your home to prepare for you in advance and create the perfect environment for every activity and time of day. From the first rays of dawn to the moment you retire, your home sets the lighting, climate, shades, audio-video devices, and security.

You wake to shades rising, the spa heated, and your "Wake Up!" playlist streaming through the bedroom. In the early morning, your lighting takes on the glow of sunrise. It progresses throughout the day, constantly mirroring the light of the outside world, obscuring the lines between nature and your interior. 

When you return from work, the entryway lights greet you, and the soft glow of sunset fills your home. After dinner, your family heads to the media room and enjoys a movie in superior surround sound and 4K ultra-high-definition images that take you to another world. When it’s time for bed, your smart home goes to sleep with you.

Successfully deploying this level of interconnectivity requires a certified home technology expert well-versed in design, programming, installation, and support. Are you ready for the ultimate life of luxury? At Eighteen Group, we create custom-designed systems that enable the perfect environment and entertainment for your unique needs and vision.
