A Premier Home Automation Company Explores the Latest Technology
Discover What Smart Homes Are Made Of!
As smart home technology goes mainstream, homeowners are exploring the immense possibilities, often one step at a time. They may start with a smart lightbulb before adding a smart thermostat and, eventually, a smart oven. These devices provide convenience, letting users control them via their smartphones.
They are, however, far different than a home automation system.
As a home automation company serving Chicago, IL, for almost 60 years, we’ve witnessed incredible technological advancements. Today’s smart home is an ecosystem of integrated systems and devices working together to create the ideal environment, perform everyday tasks, and enhance a home’s beauty.
Let’s explore the many devices and components in home automation and how they come together to create a lifestyle once unimaginable.

Home Automation Defined
A home automation platform brings various smart devices and systems together, managing them all from one unified central controller. These systems communicate with the controller and each other, providing a seamless exchange. The temperature rises, the shades lower, and the lights brighten. And on it goes throughout the day, ensuring the perfect environment.
These actions are automated and performed due to changes in the home environment. We also program your smart home to perform tasks based on the time of day, your location, and activity.
Seamless Integration
To accomplish this seamless connectivity, the devices and controller must be compatible. At Barrett’s Technology Solutions, we partner with Savant, an industry leader in home automation.
