Experience Effortless Living

Are you wondering what’s all the fuss about smart home automation? Don’t we have enough technology in our day-to-day lives? Fair enough.

But, if you can, remember back to the days before remotes. If that was before your time, we’ll share a brief history lesson. There was a time when you had to get up from the couch and walk over to the TV to change the channel. We know, mind-boggling.

And that’s how people in Newburyport, MA, will one day look back at houses before they became smart homes. They’ll wonder about the lifestyle that involved manually adjusting shades, flipping light switches, and stumbling into dark homes with hands full of groceries. They’ll listen to the stories and shake their heads in disbelief, saying, “Why didn’t you ask your smart home to turn the lights on?” 

At Audio Video Experience, we’re doing our part in transitioning as many people into smart home living as possible before light switches become obsolete. You’re welcome. 

As a Control4 dealer, we have access to the leading home automation platform, which lets us customize your smart home to work just as you want. When you press the remote, touchscreen, or keypad, your lighting, shades, climate, entertainment, security, pools, spas, gates, irrigation, and even doggy doors respond. 

Let’s explore why working with a Control4 dealer offers the ultimate customization.
