These days, many of us are staying home and relying on Netflix and Hulu to keep us company. Hours of streaming, surfing the web and enjoying one-touch control of our home automation systems help to pass the time while social isolating. No matter how you want to use your technology, chances are you're giving your home networking system a workout. But if you’re noticing lower-quality streaming content, or you’re having a difficult time connecting all your devices, it could mean it’s time for an upgrade. Do you need to improve your Boston-area home’s network to get the most out of your system? Find out here.

Home theater systems have come a long way in the past 40 years, and with the advent of smart home technology, a small-scale revolution in New England home theaters is underway.

We recently worked with one of our top customers in the Boston area, building them a system that gives AMC a run for their money—we used a combination of the Control4 HC-800 (a staple in most modern smart homes), Triad Speakers, a Lunette Series projection screen, and a high-end Sony 4K projector to create the home theater of their dreams.

If you’re thinking about building a home theater system and want some of the best tech around, then you need to follow our customer’s example and investigate these two brands: Control4 and Sony.

No matter your current listening habits, a whole home audio system will completely enhance the way you enjoy music, podcasts, the news, and more. Don’t believe us? Imagine getting ready in the morning. As you walk from your bedroom to the bathroom and kitchen, your favorite tunes follow your every step. And with each speaker activated from one app on your phone, you’ll listen to more music and podcasts than ever. It’s all just one press of a button or voice command away.

Whether you already own Sonos speakers or not, Sonos makes it simple to build a whole home audio network. However, you can take your music experience even further with a Control4 smart system. How do Sonos and Control4 work together? Continue reading to discover the possibilities for your Boston, MA-area home.

Lighting follows us everywhere throughout our lives. Light enters our windows each morning and wakes us up, and sunsets soothe us as we enjoy our favorite evening activities. While any appropriately lit room can allow us to perform needed tasks, that doesn’t guarantee that we’re taking advantage of its incredible design and wellness benefits.

That’s where a lighting control system can take your arrangement from an uninspired installation to a health and mood-boosting layout that properly adjusts your lighting so you can efficiently perform tasks with the exact specifications you need. Tired of straining your eyes and dealing with light that doesn’t do much for your mood, sleep patterns or relaxation efforts?
