Smart home system technology can play a key role in adding value to your properties across all these areas. Start with efficiency. Many prospective tenants want to live in "green" buildings. Smart home technology that manages climate control and lighting can save tenants money and contribute to a healthier environment. Safety is another prime factor in keeping happier tenants.

We love to talk about home automation, but they say a picture is worth a thousand words. If a picture is worth that much, then an in-person experience must be worth even more. This is why we're holding a special event on November 21 at our Atlanta showroom to show off some of the latest home automation technology from Control4.

What will we be showing? Control4 is introducing a new remote control called the Neeo. This is no ordinary remote control, though, and we have more details about it below. A rep from Holm will be on hand to show off the latest in outdoor lighting. For movie and home theater fans, we will also have reps from brand partners Epson and Kaleidescape to talk about the most recent iterations on projectors and movie servers. Of course, we will have food and drinks too to accompany all the festivities.

So, mark the date – November 21, from 4-8 PM – for the #C4Yourself Control4 event at our Atlanta showroom. Now keep reading below for some more details on the Control4 Neeo remote, because you will have a chance to win one! And be sure to RSVP HERE.

Photography is the art of capturing a view. It is both a science and an art - anyone can take a picture, but great photographers know how to capture a compelling image. From the technological point of view, it’s always been about capturing light effectively. Different lenses and apertures let a camera frame the image and control the light coming in for the right effect. Where in years past chemical processes captured the image, today, digital technology can both capture the image and apply many different effects.

Any image can be improved with the optimal lighting. If you think of your home as a series of images, it too can look its best with the art and science of today’s home lighting and control solutions. If you want to see your Atlanta home in its best light, keep reading below!
