On beautiful weekend afternoons in Tempe, AZ, why not have family and friends over for a barbeque, watch your favorite sports team and then wind down the evening with some great tunes and perhaps take a dip in the pool or hot tub? There’s a wide range of technology solutions built to withstand outdoor elements without compromising performance. Connect your whole house audio system to the outdoors, then add Lutron lighting control to make the perfect entertaining space or a personal retreat for relaxing after a long work day. TVs weather the storm and sun while minimizing glare for quality viewing even on a bright day. Outdoor lights automatically adjust at sunset to create ambiance and enhance safety.

Whether you're in Chandler, Scottsdale, or Tempe, one thing remains the same: Kitchens are the central hub of the home. With smart home automation, you can easily change the ambiance of the space for cooking, cleaning, entertaining, doing homework, or reading. Imagine pressing “Prepare” and your favorite music playlist comes on, motorized shades raise to fill the room with sunlight, and counters brighten accordingly. You can keep an eye on the kids from the touch screen or see who’s at the door when the doorbell rings. Simply use the intercom from the same control to tell them dinner is ready instead of shouting. Keep counters clear and focus on the granite countertops, Viking range or Sub-Zero refrigerator, not the wires, speakers or TV.
