Home theaters are often filled with multiple electronic components, which can lead to a jumble of cords and remote controls. Having to rely on different remote controls for your screen, sound system and other components can become a hassle. Adding smart home features to your home theater allows you to simplify this process and cut down on the cords and remote controls. With these features, you can easily adjust or control your screen, audio equipment, lights and even window blinds. Consider the following smart home integration options for your home theater.
Why might you want to include smart home features in your home theater? Having these features can make your movie-watching experience go much more smoothly. With smart features, you can control settings for various electronic components and devices on your smartphone or tablet. This allows you to quickly make adjustments as needed, such as turning up the air conditioning in your home theater for a more comfortable environment or dimming the lights as the movie starts.
If you’re planning to use a large-screen TV for your home theater, go with a smart TV. These TVs provide ways to get more out of your home theater experience while also giving you convenient control over settings and other features. With a smart TV, you can easily stream movies to watch in your home theater without having to set up DVD players, Blu-Ray players or other systems.
If you have a projector screen that rolls up into the ceiling when not in use, a smart home control system can allow you to easily raise or lower it. Using a touchscreen or buttons on your phone or tablet, you can make sure your projector screen is in place when you’re ready to watch a movie.
Having a smart sound system in your home theater means you can conveniently adjust the volume and other audio settings while watching a movie. Instead of having to get up to make these adjustments or keep yet another remote control around, you can control your sound system from a smart device, such as your phone or tablet.
Having a digital assistant can provide you with a simple way to control sound, lighting and more in your home theater. With one of these digital assistants, you can give voice commands when you want to watch a certain movie, dim the lights, turn up the volume or adjust other settings and features in your home theater. This helps reduce the need to keep multiple remote controls around, making your home theater easier to manage.
If your home theater has windows, keeping them covered with shades or blinds is important in order to control the amount of natural light in the room. With smart blinds or shades, you can easily open and close them as needed. With the touch of a button, you can close the blinds or shades when your movie starts and open them again when it’s over.
Smart home integration allows you to wirelessly connect different parts of your home theater to your device for easier control. This can include the lighting you have in your home theater. Smart lighting features make it possible to turn lights on or off or dim them as needed for the best viewing experience.
