Smart Home Automation: Creating Entertainment Unmatched

The notion of smart home automation has been an ideology surfacing and growing in the housing market for a long period of time. With the steady rise in the use of technology, abundant opportunities are presented in the very comfort of our homes where safety can be guaranteed through a mere alarm system and entertainment is facilitated through bustling lights and roaring sound systems.

With entertainment being a core aspect for homeowners, smart home automation systems help create a versatile and comfortable home environment where the hefty use of extra ports, outlets, wires and other technicalities are discarded. Powered by the Internet of Things (IoT) technology, your smart home gadgets can work seamlessly together to create a personalised night of effortless fun and entertainment. Read on to find out ways in which smart home technology can transform your house to an entertainment hub in an instant.

Multi-room Audio Systems



Hosting a party or an event in the comfort of your home requires a great audio system to impress your guests with good music to set the ambience throughout the night. The conventional method of utilising an audio system during a need for entertainment would be wireless connections like Bluetooth speakers; however, it’s important to note that smart home automation systems allow you to go above and beyond when crafting sound systems for the occasion. Rather than going through the haste of placing various connections and using different speakers for each room, an automation system allows sound to travel across multiple rooms, using a single volume control.

An automation system can be controlled via an application installed on a tablet or smartphone where all smart devices are interconnected with the integration of IoT technology.

A user can choose to control the audio system from a range of devices including their smartphone, tablet, panels and touch screens around the house and play audio across the multiple smart speakers located around the house. There’s also the option of controlling volume systems to your liking, adjusting levels or playing music according to the mood.

A voice-activated audio system is also a great way to customise your music-listening experience. When you add voice control to your entertainment setup, you can stream music, watch TV, and more, via voice commands.

Smart Lighting Systems



Hue lights, yellow lights, and neon lights of all sorts can be utilised to create perfect movie-watching experiences, party nights and other fun occasions that you can think of. With Syncrow, various bulbs, light strips, lamp shades, smart switches and dimmers are governed by an effective combination of Zigbee, IoT technology and wireless technology in which communication signals are exchanged from a plethora of devices and distances around the house. Zigbee is a more than a decade-old specification that is widely regarded as an alternative to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for some applications that don't require a lot of bandwidth, such as smart home sensors.

Whether you want to host a dinner or watch a movie on a Friday night in, setting the ambience right is greatly determined by the lighting in your house. There’s also the option of scheduling lights to change their hues and appear at certain times during the day to reduce energy consumption. Usually, smart bulbs are categorised to be either LED lights or fluorescent lights that are proven to be less energy-consuming. With the automation system’s ability to switch lights off when there’s lower detected usage, or excessive usage, sustainability and cost are a domain that requires little to no worry.

Smart Cinema Systems



A large portion of good entertainment is attributed to having a great cinema system where you can watch television in a comfortable manner with the best quality sound and visuals. Smart home automation helps achieve this by connecting smart projector systems, smart speakers, smart screens and lighting to provide you with the best experience imaginable. With the tap of a button on the provided application, you would be able to switch lights on and off without the need for a dimmer switch that would constantly be gnawed at.

Generally, home cinema systems will be more effective with an array of smart devices that are interconnected. For example, LED colour lights are set based on the mood of the setting and the movie type. With the tap of a button, smart lights can be turned on and adjusted to the mood, the volume adjusted and all distractions discarded. Smart speakers installed in the ceilings, outdoors and even in the walls, can help create a high-quality sound system to transport you inside the likes of a movie.

Smart Outdoor Technology



There can be instances in which you want to resort to the outdoors when hosting parties, events or anything with the intention of entertainment. To make this possible, the homeowner may require an effective smart lighting system and smart sound system. For instance, having a bustling indoor sound system can contribute to pristine, crisp and even sound distribution across the house and various rooms can greatly amplify music and entertainment for you and your guests. You can even choose the option of installing an outdoor cinema with buzzing sound systems and adjustable night lights— all controlled with the tap of a button on an interactive application.

The constantly evolving IoT technology assists the home entertainment industry with reams of data and innovative solutions to make your mundane experiences better. Tons of consumer data and patterns related to consumption are analysed to make home entertainment as lively and personalised as it could get. Even when it comes to smart outdoor technology, sound experience and outdoor smart lights can be in sync to create the perfect atmosphere for a night of entertainment.



To Conclude



Smart home technology allows for peak comfort and convenience in everyday life and tasks, with entertainment being a large part of your mundane routines. With Syncrow’s technology, various device features can be utilised through the seamless interconnection of ‘smart’ objects that allow audiences to have access to a sea of information, providing insight to what a multitude of devices could achieve. From high-quality, reverberating sound systems to mood-driven lighting systems, a great in-house entertainment experience can be obtained.
