The Premier Group is determined to be your resource for all things home automation. To that end, we wanted to focus this edition on a key integration partner: Control4.

Imagine receiving an alert from your phone while you’re away from home that says your garage door is open, and then it gives you the option of closing it. Or imagine pressing a button as you leave the house and your AC shuts off, your lights go out, and your alarm system powers up. Then, when you return home, another button push brings up the lights you have selected for that time of day, turns on your music or queues your television to your DVR. Such progress is no longer limited to your imagination and such functionality and ease-of-use has made Control4 a preferred solution for simple to sophisticated home automation.

The summer is the perfect time to renovate your home. It’s easier to install solutions when the weather is nice, and there are more hours of daylight to get things done.

This time of year is also the season for summer parties, vacations, and holidays. And there’s no better way to celebrate than with music and video entertainment outdoors. We have some ideas for you on how to add music streaming to your backyard, as well as distribute video to your TVs.
