Get Active

Daily exercise is one of the top stress-busting activities recommended by health care professionals. So you may wonder how whole home automation can help you with your daily workout routine. Here are a few ideas:

• Before heading outside for your evening run, play pump-up music in your dressing room or kitchen while you prep.
• If working out in your home gym, use whole-home control to lower the thermostat, turn up the music, and get to work. After completing your fitness routine, press a button to return the room to its standard settings.
• Maybe your workout routine involves yoga and meditation. Program an automated smart scene to dim the lights, lower the shades, and begin playing quiet, calming music. You could even have a lamp outside the room that illuminates to let your family members know you are not to be disturbed.

Spend Time With Others

If you find pleasure in spending time with others, a social night with family or friends would be the medicine you need to relax after a hard day. Consider adding a movie night to the agenda. With whole home automation technology, you can control the audio, video, lights, and more all from one single control on your smartphone, tablet, or remote. Enjoy your evening with friends, and when it's time to turn everything off, one device can do it all again. You’ll be able to easily focus on your movie and guests instead of the technology!

Sleep Well

Another essential ingredient in a stress-free life is a good night's sleep. With whole home automation, you can prepare your bedroom for a night of comfort by controlling the temperature, lighting, and motorized shades in your master bedroom. You can also sleep more securely, knowing that your security system is armed and keeping you safe in dreamland.
