Luxury Smart Home Living Vs Smart Home Solutions
Elevating Everyday Living in a Customized Smart Home

There was a time when someone mentioned a smart home, and they were talking about a few lights and some shades that could be controlled from their couch. They may have added a smart doorbell and a smart speaker to the mix, but each device had its own app and was managed independently.
Today’s smart home solutions in Portland, OR, are so much more.
Aristotle’s famous quote, “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts,” accurately defines home automation. While a smart light and a smart speaker are convenient, when you connect these elements, along with many others, to a home automation platform, your home transforms.
From morning until evening, your home creates the ideal setting for the moment. When you press a button on a custom-engraved keypad, it prompts the perfect music, stunning lighting, and ideal climate for your chosen activity. When you tell your smart home, “Good Night,” it turns off all the devices, locks the doors, and goes to sleep with you.
It’s an incredible lifestyle and one that just keeps getting better.
Let’s explore what living in a smart home really means.

Smart Home Living Redefined
Imagine waking up to your favorite song streaming through your home, the automated shades slowly opening, and the lights casting a soft glow from the bedroom to the kitchen. While this experience is enjoyable in itself, it’s even better in a luxury smart home. Picture adding lossless, high-resolution music, streaming through your whole-home audio system via in-ceiling speakers. It’s detailed, precise, and immersive, with a full, natural sound just as the musician intended.
The lighting uses full-spectrum, high-performance LEDs that adjust throughout the day to align with the sun. In the morning, your lights look like the color of dawn, bringing sparks of contentment as you head to the kitchen.
When you press the “Good Morning” button in the kitchen, the pendulum lights illuminate over the island, and the undercabinet lights brighten to create the ideal atmosphere for preparing breakfast. The shades along the row of windows facing your backyard open in perfect unison. The climate, from the humidity to the temperature, is ideal. Did we mention your outdoor spa? It’s already heated, and the same stunning music that follows you from your bedroom to the kitchen is coming from high-fidelity landscape speakers that blend in seamlessly with your outdoor oasis.
And that was just the morning.
Life Made Easy
Smart home living is all about ease, supporting a lifestyle that’s uniquely your own. Whether relaxing, entertaining, working, or reading, your indoor and outdoor environments adjust, settling into an exceptional space for the occasion.
And, of course, if you're sitting on the couch and want to change the lighting and lower the shades, one tap on a remote or touchscreen is all it takes. Even better? Tell your smart home to do it for you.
And that is the very tip of the iceberg in what a smart home can do.
