Smart Home Trend #1: AI-Powered Automation
Artificial intelligence has changed the world in the last year, and it’s poised to revolutionize home automation in the coming years as well. AI-driven systems will be able to learn your routines and preferences over time, automatically adjusting settings like lighting, temperature, and music to fit your daily life.
Imagine your home office automatically shifting into work mode in the mornings or your living room transforming into the perfect movie-viewing environment with a single voice command.
Smart Home Trend #2: Matter Integration and Interoperability
One of the biggest developments on the horizon is the rollout of the Matter standard for device interoperability. With Matter, smart home devices from different manufacturers will be able to communicate and work together.
This means you'll be able to control your lighting, shades, thermostat, audio, security, and more through your Crestron Home platform more seamlessly than ever before, so you’ll have fewer compatibility issues over time. As a Crestron dealer with deep expertise across lighting, shading, climate, AV and more, we’re uniquely qualified to design fully integrated smart home systems leveraging Matter.
Smart Home Trend #3: Voice Control 2.0
Voice assistants like Alexa and Google Home have already become a familiar presence in many smart homes. But the next generation of voice control will be even more powerful and intuitive. Expect to see Josh.ai voice integration expand to every room of the house, with more natural language processing and context awareness. You'll be able to use your voice to manage complex routines, access information, and control your entire home hands-free.
Smart Home Trend #4: Sustainable and Efficient
Energy management is a key concern for many luxury homeowners, and smart technology offers exciting solutions. Connected thermostats, kitchen appliances, motorized shades, and adaptive lighting can all help minimize waste and reduce your carbon footprint.
Set schedules, detect room occupancy, and respond to ambient conditions in a smart home that operates at maximum efficiency 24/7. Innovative brands like Lutron offer sophisticated and sustainable lighting control for energy-conscious homeowners.
Smart Home Trend #5: Elevated Entertainment
Of course, smart homes are about more than efficiency and productivity. They're also about creating more leisure time and making it better with immersive entertainment and unparalleled convenience.
The latest AV innovations from companies like Sony allow you to enjoy 4K and upscaled 8K video content, 360-degree Dolby Atmos audio, and even virtual reality gaming at the highest quality. And with brands like CinemaTech for home theater design and acoustics, we can help turn any room into a mind-blowing media destination perfectly tailored to your tastes.
