The control category encompasses three concepts: control, e.g. playing a specific song or movie, or increasing or lowering the temperature; automation, such as recurring tasks or schedules, one-touch scene recall, and more; and integration, which refers to incorporating the various technologies in your Los Angeles home into a unified system.

Smart home control comes in several modalities: on-wall keypads or touchscreen panels, handheld remote controls, and smartphone applications are the most common. Home automation has limitless applications in a complex system. For example, you could dim the lights, close the blinds, play a specific playlist, and turn on the fireplace-all with a single touch. You can also turn lights on and off according to a schedule, or receive notifications when doors or gates open or when motion is detected by a certain camera. Integration is what makes all this possible!
