Audio Video Term

Smart Home

Smart Home is an audio video term for Chicago-area smart home, theater, and commercial AV projects.

Smart Home is a residence where connected devices and controls work together to improve comfort, convenience, security, and entertainment.

Example of Smart Home

A homeowner presses a single Goodnight button and the lights turn off, shades lower, doors lock, security arms, and the thermostat adjusts. In that kind of Davis smart home project, the term Smart Home would describe a residence where connected devices and controls work together to improve comfort, convenience, security, and entertainment. Davis would use that understanding to account for scenes, schedules, sensors, app controls, and support routines that work together instead of feeling like separate gadgets, then test the result in the actual room, document the related components, and show the client how to use the feature without needing to manage the technical details behind it.
