Tech the Halls (with Home Automation) from Cinema Sound Unlimited

Philip Henann • Nov 26, 2020

Make the most of your holidays by hosting everyone in a South Florida “smart” home!

We’ll admit it, the team at Cinema Sound Unlimited are all suckers for the holidays. While our office is in Coral Springs, we’re entertaining family and our bubble of friends throughout South Florida; from West Palm Beach to Boca Raton, and from Ft. Lauderdale to Miami, there are few “silent nights” among us, which is how we like it.

Of course, having all the cool toys is great for holiday parties (who doesn’t like to feel like a real-life Tony Stark by dimming the lights and playing multi-room music in front of everyone with just the touch of a pad?), but there are many practical applications also. Some would say it’s all practical AND all fun!

It is especially nice when you can host from a distance. Like when you still have to work while you have visitors coming to your home, which means you’re not there to greet them when they arrive or to help them with the remote control…and we all know how antsy guests can get when at someone else’s house and not being able to turn on the TV or listen to their jams!

If you want some little helpers of your own this season, give Cinema Sound Unlimited a call, and let’s talk Home Automation.

Time for that Smart Doorbell?

It seems like we’re all out and about more often than usual around the holidays. So when someone rings the doorbell to deliver a package, you’re either not home or in the middle of doing something else. This is where Video Intercom comes into play. You can see who is at the front door, tell each new guest where they will be sleeping, and even unlock your front door and turn on your entranceway lights with a tap of the same interface. You can even let a delivery person in, watch them deliver the package inside, and lock the door again after they leave. No switching apps. It’s as easy as pumpkin pie.

Video Distribution for every boy and every girl

Cinema Sound Unlimited can help you keep the revelers entertained with exquisite sound and spectacular 4K video. You’ll be able to offer an amazing entertainment experience in every room of your house. Outside too, as we can make sure your patio is fully equipped to keep the sports fans happy while the kids are playing video games in one room and everyone else listens to holiday songs from their favorite satellite channel. Cinema Sound will also help you consolidate all of the audio and video equipment into a single closet unit, providing a clutter-free installation.

The interface will be so easy, everyone will be able to control their entertainment from right where they are, or you can set it up for them, in advance, from your phone. It really is a gift to yourself, as keeping everyone amused simultaneously is one less responsibility you have to take on by yourself.

Keep the temperature perfect and only roast the chestnuts!

Even in South Florida, people argue over the thermostat during the holidays. Granted, it’s usually because the house is too warm, instead of too cold, but the same frustrations apply. Someone is hot and takes off their shirt, and that’s when the family squabbles start. Or they did, anyway. Cinema Sound Unlimited will connect your new Control4 system with your voice assistants, so you can simply tell Alexa or Google Home to adjust the thermostat to 73 degrees upstairs so the kids don’t get hot while running around.

What they can’t take advantage of up north so much is the pool and spa control. You can set the temperature or crank the jets from your smart device. You can even automate your sprinklers and lawn systems to respond to the changing weather conditions for which South Florida is notorious.

Having everyone home for the holidays is a big part of what makes them so wonderful. Having a home automation system installed and programmed by Cinema Sound Unlimited in Coral Springs that helps you manage the door, the entertainment, the lighting, the temperature, and more. It will keep you merry and bright!
