Sacramento's Premier Home Remodeling Company
Home automation extends all the way into outdoor living. Your smart home can include outdoor TVs and sound systems, landscape audio, WI-fi, smart lighting, pool cover automations, outdoor entertainment systems, and automation for firepits, patios, backyards and outdoor areas. JC Construction & Remodeling will help you design, build, and fully integrate your outdoor home automation into your smart home systems.
If you’re planning on smart home integration, that can also extend into outdoor living. There are dozens of ways you can integrate smart home features into your backyard, patio, and outdoors area. These all help improve your quality of life, saving you time and energy, letting you focus on spending time relaxing with friends and family.
For Sacramento homeowners, the most important stage of an outdoors home automation project is that planning. Instead of focusing solely on the technology and equipment first, think about how you want to live and function within your outdoor space. Think about how you already use your space, and how you want to enhance that outdoor area.
Do you want music throughout your outdoors space? Landscape audio is the ideal solution.
Would you like lighting that changes as the evening goes on? Smart lighting can be programmed to change at certain times, or even respond to voice commands.
Thinking of having movie night with the family outdoors? Large screen TVs and home audio systems can make it seem like you are at the drive-in from the comfort of your backyard.
Want everything automated whenever you hang out in the backyard? Program lighting, media, audio, and other smart enabled features to start with a single touch.
You should also consider practical aspects of your smart backyard. Waterproof equipment will last during the rainy winters in Sacramento. How far does your Wi-fi extend? You’ll need Wi-fi coverage to reach your smart devices and features while you relax outdoors.
The possibilities are endless, and there’s a lot more that you can do than you imagine.
One of the most fundamental ways you can improve your outdoor spaces is with smart lighting. LED lighting can be programmed to have different color temperature, hues, and brightness. With smart lighting, you can turn your outdoor lighting system on and off from indoors, or anywhere. You can also program lighting to dim or brighten at different times of the night, or display different colors, changing the ambience with a single smartphone app. This can also help save energy, making it a functional and practical choice.
Smart lighting can be used outdoors in places like patios, gazebos, pool areas, walkways, landscaping, and entrances. Our home automation team can help you design and install smart lighting.
Many outdoor living areas have smart TVs, landscape sound systems, home theater projectors, and other media systems, all controlled from a single interface on your smartphone. Watch sporting events while you barbeque, listen to music while entertaining guests, or have a movie night for the family. There are large screen smart TVs, Wi-fi speakers, and media centers which are manufactured to be more resistant to heat, humidity, moisture, and other elemental conditions.
A strong Wi-fi network is the backbone of your outdoor living home automation system. None of the other components will work as effectively without a good strong wireless network. By strategically placing access points around your outdoor spaces, it ensures you will have a strong signal for smart TVs, landscape audio systems, security cameras, streaming music and audio, and other remote controlled outdoor features. A robust Wi-fi extended network allows you to run your outdoor amenities from the patio or your phone.
All your smart home features rely on a robust Wi-fi network. For most outdoor living projects, our home automation experts add extenders which broaden the reach of your Wi-fi to cover your outdoor areas with a strong signal, for outdoor automation.
When done right, outdoor audio systems are completely immersive, with speakers positioned in multiple areas, providing complete coverage. Instead of outdoor sound systems with a couple directional speakers, let us design a landscape sound system that integrates fully into your outside area, allowing you to be close to the sound at any position. A smart outdoor audio system has discreetly mounted and placed speakers in key locations, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the sound, with balanced volume. All this can be integrated into your overall outdoor smart home system for one-touch control from a single convenient interface.
Smart home security and surveillance systems allow Sacramento homeowners to have 24/7 monitoring of their property. You can see when someone’s coming to the front door, even when you’re relaxing outdoors, and much more. Give guests an access code, control smart gates, and program outdoor lights to turn on or off at trigger events such as motion detection. If you have a smart pool cover, you can even set pool safety alerts to your phone. Smart security systems make your home safer, allowing you to have peace of mind.
At the center of every well-designed outdoor home automation system is a control interface that controls all the components of your outdoor living automation. This means your smart lighting, video, audio, security, and Wi-fi is all in one spot, including any additional smart features (pool cover, firepits, fireplaces, etc.) You can set it up to be controlled via app, touchscreen, or voice commands. With a fully integrated control system, all the entertainment and environmental systems are at your command.
It’s more important than ever to integrate smart doorbells and intercoms at your front gate, front door, and entryways, so you can get notifications and phone calls on your phone: you never need to leave your backyard. Receive deliveries via intercom and smart doorbell, while you relax. You’re always connected and you never need to miss an important visitor or package delivery.
Believe it or not, there are smart home integrations for hot tubs and pools equipped with smart technology. You can automate the hot tub temperature to heat up before you show up, saving energy without wasting time or waiting. Have it ready by the time you get home from a long day. For the pool: you can operate the pool pump remotely, making sure your pool is well circulated. Many pool covers are smart home ready, meaning you can open and close the pool cover from the same interface from which you control your smart home systems. If you have an outdoor fountain, these can often be controlled via a home automation app, we can help you fully integrate all your outdoor living automation systems into your smart home features.
Remember that each outdoor home automation setup isn’t only about the equipment. It’s about how everything works together seamlessly, making your life easier. You won’t be looking for separate remotes for the lighting, the pool, the security system, the TV and sound system. With home automation, it’s all contained in one singular interface. From one control interface, a smart home owner can program several actions to happen in sequence, or one at a time, the choice is yours. Outdoor living automation for Sacramento homeowners allows you to focus on what matters most–relaxing and having fun!
