Avoiding Common Home Theater and Automation Issues

Many homeowners desire the simplification that home automation can bring to their lives. But most importantly, they do not know where to begin and keep worrying about the potential cost associated with it.

When we visit a cinema theater, we sit, relax, and enjoy the movie without worrying about or operating any of the equipment. Today, it seems to be a big challenge to get the exact viewer experience in home theater. Integrated home theater and automation enable you to create the replica of Theater experience at your home just by the tap of a button on your tablet or mobile devices.

Have you ever thought how easy it can be to access your favorite music or movie just by pressing a button than searching for titles everywhere? It will take some seconds to switch between your favorites and media sources like Media Player, BluRay, Internet Video, TV Channels, etc. Create the most alluring ambience for your theater with integrated window curtains, lighting controls, etc. All these are just a subset of user experiences, and smart home automation can take you beyond your imagination.

Are you considering adding home theater and automation to your Belvedere home, but stuck with a decision that whether should you attempt to build your own DIY system or rely upon a professional installation team? The truth is, if you are looking for a complete home solution that you can rely on, nothing beats an automation system installed by a team of Home Cinema Marin’s expert professionals.

Here we will be examining three common issues that homeowners experience with a DIY smart home. Continue reading to learn.

PROBLEM #1: THE NETWORK IS NEGLECTED

The home automation system relies on the network. As you keep on adding more smart devices – whether it’s a lighting control system or wireless speakers, you are pushing the limits of your network. If you often experience buffering or there are any dead zones in your home, then the experience of a smart home is not going to be reliable. When a typical homeowner attempts to install home theater and automation, he/she does not often consider the Wi-Fi. Or, the owner does not know how to improve the connection.

With a professional installation from Home Cinema Marin, the network will be assessed for quality. Any necessary changes will be made in order to make sure that you do not experience any unexpected issues due to slow network.

PROBLEM #2: DEVICES DON’T MESH

The value of smart homes lies in the compatibility of technology installed. An example would be lights that illuminate as you close the blinds so that you are never in the dark. In many DIY homes, homeowners are left with a Smartphone or tablet full of apps, each to control one system of his or her smart home.

With a professionally installed system, all of the individual components are housed on the same set of controls, making it easy to coordinate. Depending on your control preference, you can adjust to your home’s audio, motorized shades, lighting, and more with a Smartphone or any other device.

PROBLEM #3: SOMETHING IS MISSING

Many a time, homeowners will start a DIY project with the best of intentions. Then they begin to realize that it will be a lot of work that one will take upon himself. This means the project goes unfinished, which means you could have only a few smart features added, and perhaps those may be in one or two rooms. After investing all your time and money into automation, you are left with a home that feels relatively the same.

When working with an expert installation team like Home Cinema Marin, you can expect a significant improvement to your home. We will guide you through the entire process of conceptualizing, designing, and installing a home theater and automation system.
