Experience Effortless Living and a Touch of Magic

Today, almost half of all homes in the U.S. have at least one smart device. From TVs to security cameras, lighting, and speakers, once you enter the world of automation, it tends to snowball. Soon, you're flipping through your smartphone, looking for the applications that manage each device. 

A Control4 home automation system brings them all under one platform. 

This integration creates a unified system where all devices communicate with each other and with the home automation platform. This level of connectivity provides an incredible experience—a smart home managed from one user-friendly interface or your voice. 

Here, we’ll explore what it means to live in a Control4 smart home in Bellevue, WA, and the greater Seattle area.

Ensuring the Continuous Comfort and Convenience of Smart Shades

One of the most convenient smart technologies ever invented is automatic blinds. While once a luxury, motorized shades have become increasingly popular and accessible. With the touch of a button or voice command, you can raise or lower one or every window covering in your home. 

When integrated with sensors, they automatically adjust based on the amount of sunlight or the time of day. Wake to filtered sunlight peering in the windows. Go to sleep knowing your shades will close for complete privacy.

But what happens when they stop working?  

At Bob’s Smart Home, we offer world-class service, ongoing maintenance, and support to resolve any issues quickly. In many cases, remote system management enables the identification and resolution of potential problems before they become apparent. 

Here, we thought we’d share some troubleshooting tips and easy solutions that can help your automatic blinds operate as intended in your home in Bellevue and the greater Seattle area.  

Whether you are home or away, protect your family and property this season!

As summer approaches, it’s easy to see families shifting their focus to vacations, backyard gatherings, and endless outdoor fun.

Longer days and open windows create opportunities for intruders, while empty homes only make them more vulnerable and easier to target. Thankfully, a smart security system can be your steadfast ally, providing round-the-clock protection and peace of mind while you enjoy the warmer months.

With burglary rates climbing in summer, it’s time to think seriously about how an integrated security solution can shield your home. Let’s dive into the challenges of summer security and see how smart technology can keep your home safe and sound right here in Bellevue, WA, and beyond.
