New technology is supposed to make things easier to do and save time. At least, that’s what the marketing says. Most of the time, well thought out technology does just that, and we wonder how we ever did without it. But too many times, new technology adds complexity and confusion. How about those car systems that make you dig through a touchscreen menu for a seat heater when a simple button would suffice? 

Smart home automation should make things simpler, not harder. It should do things for you without much or any input on your part. As a specialized, expert home automation company, that’s what Elite Technology Solutions strives to do for our clients in Clayton, MO – make smart technology fit you and your lifestyle. Read on to see how we do it!

Assessing Needs and Wants

It’s likely that when you investigate home automation, you have some things you absolutely want and some things you may want but are not sure about. For example, maybe lighting control is high on your list. Motorized shading and window treatments are a popular adjunct to smart lighting, but perhaps you don't know if that option works with your décor and lifestyle. 

As a professional home automation company, we help you evaluate your needs and desires. Knowing what you must have, what you might want if it fits your budget, and what you might desire in the future helps us specify the right solution for you. And that includes not only the equipment but the installation and programming setup to tailor it to your specific needs. 

Budget Considerations

Everyone has a budget, even if it's unlimited. And if it's truly unlimited, you'll want to know what you're getting for that large budget! Whether you are spending $20,000 or $100,000 on the home automation system for your new home, you want to ensure that you are getting the features you want and the capability to expand them in the future. We work with you to do just that.

For example, if you only need three rooms in your home with smart features like lighting, shading, and HVAC control, we will specify a system that accommodates that and inform you of what else you can add to it. Likewise, we can install and customize a more capable system if you intend on expanding it next year to the rest of the house. We also recommend the right cabling and other infrastructure that will enable you to add more smart technology and entertainment features when you want them. No matter your objectives, we work to give you the solution that comfortably accommodates your needs now and in the future. 

Create Your Own Smart Spaces

One of the best features of the best smart home platforms like Crestron Home is the ability to create your own custom automation. Not too many years ago, customizing the levels for automated lights in a room required technical programming skill. Now the latest apps allow you to create scenes with AV control, lighting, window treatments, and climate control just the way you want and save them for recall when you need them. Not only that, but user profiles can ensure that everyone’s smart home experience is their own. We can set you up with a working system and specific automation, and you are free to tweak them or create your own to suit your mood, activities, and lifestyle.
